Reta
Read full descriptionHide full description
Reta is a private manual-brewing studio for coffee, espresso, matcha, and tea. Its method-aware workspace keeps one important value in focus while preserving the relationship between ingredients, temperature, time, and technique. Choose a method and Reta adapts the workspace: • Pour-over: tune coffee, water, ratio, and total brew time • Iced coffee: balance hot water and measured ice, or keep espresso yield separate • Espresso: balance dose, yield, ratio, and extraction time • Matcha: control powder, water, temperature, sifting, and whisking • Tea: control leaves, water, temperature, steeping, and pouring Changing one value recalculates the related recipe and phase targets, so every step stays internally consistent. During preparation, a focused timer keeps the current phase, instruction, progress, and next action readable at a glance. Completed sessions save automatically to your journal. Create recipes for any supported method and customise every guided phase. Share recipe links that let others add a copy to Reta, or import Reta recipe files. No account is needed. Explore your completed brews in an interactive activity calendar, track consecutive brewing days, and select a day to revisit its brews. Make the app your own with three accent colors and System, Light, or Dark appearance. Optional daily reminders are scheduled locally. Reta works fully offline. There is no account, subscription, advertising, analytics, or tracking. Your recipes, journal, and reminder schedule stay on your device. The interface supports English and Arabic, including right-to-left layout. Brew with intention.
