Now i know what you are going to say...."who needs an app to boil some eggs?", right? But you literally searched for this so I will assume you are an egg-lover like myself. Nothing beats a good breakfast that turns out EXACTLY how you wanted it to! In all seriousness this app has had some thorough testing and if you use this method it's quite hard to miss that sweet spot for the egg you wanted. If you have some suggestions feel free to send some feedback. Maybe custom time so you can find the perfect egg for YOU? Or multiple sounds to choose from for the alert? Let's over-engineer this app together!

Five bags open and no idea which one is at peak. Bean AI reads the bag, tracks the rest window, and builds a V60, Aeropress or espresso recipe for that specific coffee. Point your camera at a label and it fills in origin, process, varietal, roast date and tasting notes in a few seconds, on your phone. SCAN OR TYPE Point your camera at any coffee bag and Bean AI extracts every field from the label in seconds using on-device OCR and Apple Intelligence. No bag handy? Add coffees manually — type the roaster name and coffee, and let AI do the rest. CLAUDE AI ENRICHMENT Tap the AI button and Claude fills in what the label didn't tell you: country of origin, region, altitude, varietals, certifications, tasting notes, and even a product photo. It draws on knowledge of thousands of specialty roasters worldwide. Requires an internet connection. BREWING RECIPES Every coffee gets a Brewing tab with recipes tailored to that specific bean — its roast level, origin and process method all factor in: • V60 at 15g and 18g — water temp, bloom, pours, total water, brew time • Orea O1 — base recommendation, pour schedule, bypass, flavour notes • Aeropress — orientation, steep, stir, press duration • Espresso — dose/yield/time, turbo vs standard, temperature • SOUP (Spro Only Unpressurized) — dose, yield, time, character PEAK FLAVOR WINDOW Every coffee shows how many days to rest it after roast before you open the bag, and the window when it's at its best. A visual bar on each detail page shows exactly where you are in that window. DECENT DE1 SYNC Running Decenza on the tablet attached to your Decent DE1? Push any bean straight into its bag list, so a coffee you scanned here is waiting for you at the machine — including the bag photo. Set your tablet's address under Settings. Bean AI is not affiliated with Decent Espresso. SHARE ANY BEAN Tap share on any coffee to send a formatted summary — origin, roast, tasting notes, peak flavour window and bag photo — to any app via the iOS share sheet. YOUR COLLECTION • Star ratings with half-star precision • Sort by rating, roast date, or date added • Filter by roast level — Light, Medium or Dark • Full-text search across every field • Archive finished bags without deleting them • Replace bag photos at any time • Process methods: Washed, Natural, Honey, Semi-Washed, Anaerobic, Co-Ferment PRIVACY Scanning and label extraction happen entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence — nothing is sent anywhere. Claude enrichment sends only the coffee name and roaster to our server to generate suggestions. No account required. No tracking. FREE AND PRO Free includes two separate limits: • 5 coffees in your collection at once — archived bags don't count toward it • 20 AI lookups in total, shared between Claude enrichment and generating brewing recipes Everything else is free and unlimited: scanning, ratings, filters, search, archive, sharing and iCloud sync. Pro removes both limits — unlimited coffees and unlimited AI. $0.99/month · $9.99/year · $19.99 lifetime Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
