YIELD Pourover

Features
Read full description

YIELD is a brewing journal for people who geek out over grind settings, chase the perfect extraction, and believe the morning ritual matters. Track your pours, dial in your recipes, and build a library of what works for every bean that crosses your counter. Your data. Your device. Forever. One purchase. No subscriptions, no ads, no account required. Your brewing notes stay on your device and sync via iCloud if you choose. We're not building a platform—just a damn good tool. Built for the early hours. A dark, warm interface designed for pre-dawn focus. High-contrast timers you can read mid-pour. Home screen widgets show your bean freshness and last brew without opening the app. Live Activity keeps your timer visible on the lock screen. No bright screens, no distractions—just you and the kettle. Freshness that makes sense. Light roasts need time to degas. Dark roasts peak earlier. YIELD tracks where each bag sits in its freshness window, so you're never guessing whether to wait or brew. Get notified when a bag hits peak or starts to fade. Your grinder remembers. Switched to a new bag? YIELD recalls what setting worked last time with that bean. Dial in faster and spend less time chasing your starting point. Compare brews side by side to see what actually made the difference. Recipes that grow with you. Build custom pour-over recipes—bloom, pulse pours, swirls, whatever your method. Scale by ratio or grams. Adjust your dose and watch the targets recalculate. No fluff. No tutorials. No achievements. No social feeds. Just a focused companion for people who care about their craft. Optional caffeine logging to HealthKit if you want it—nothing more.
