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.

Perfect Espresso, Automatically. Timing is the secret to great espresso, but managing a machine, a scale, and a manual timer at once is a lot to handle. VibrFlow is the smart companion for every home barista. It uses your iPhone's built-in vibration sensor to detect when your pump kicks in and stops the second it’s done—with zero effort required from you. Why VibrFlow? Stop reaching for the start button. Just place your phone on top of your machine and pull your shot. VibrFlow's live tracker seamlessly transitions from Ready to Pulling to Cooldown. Key Features: • Automatic Timing: Hands-free start and stop using highly precise vibration detection. • Set & Forget: No buttons to press during your morning routine. • Shot History: Automatically log every pull grouped by day to track your consistency over time. • Universal Compatibility: A quick, guided 2-phase calibration ensures it works perfectly with any espresso machine (Gaggia, Breville, De'Longhi, and more). • Barista-Friendly Design: A clean, modern, and dark-mode friendly interface that looks great in any coffee corner. How It Works: 1. Run a quick one-time calibration to capture your machine's idle and active vibrations. 2. Place your phone on your espresso machine. 3. Start your shot—VibrFlow handles the rest! Focus on the flow, not the clock. Download VibrFlow today and upgrade your morning coffee ritual.
