BeanBook is a quiet logbook for the coffee you brew at home. You log a bag. You log a shot. You can repeat what worked. That's the product. — What you can do — • Save bags with roaster, origin, process, roast level, and roast date. • Pin the bag you're currently working through. • Log shots with dose, yield, time, grind, and a 1–5 rating. • Save a shot as a recipe and brew it again with one tap. • Track espresso, pour over, AeroPress, French press, moka pot, and cold brew — spelled the way the specialty community spells them. — What it isn't — • No followers. No feeds. No daily streaks nagging you. • No "coffee score" ranking you against strangers. • Notes are a single field, not a text editor. • Your data is yours; export it any time. — BeanBook Pro — • Pro is a one-time purchase. Pay once, yours forever. • Unlocks unlimited bags, brews, and recipes, plus extra themes. • Future Pro features stats, export, more themes are included when they ship. • Family Sharing supported. Built for the person who pulls one or two shots in the morning, mostly the same coffee for a week or two, and occasionally dials in something new. BeanBook gets out of the way.
