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.

About

Olive!

Features

Stop buying olive oil by the label. You can taste the difference between a good oil and a great one — Olive! shows you exactly why, turning your ratings into a sensory model of your own palate. WHY OLIVE!, NOT A FOOD APP Olive! is not a recipe app or a product catalogue. It does not store oils for you — it learns your taste. Wine has tools that read your palate; premium extra virgin olive oil has had none. Olive! fills that gap with data, not opinions. SCAN AND LOG • Scan any EVOO label — AI reads the label for producer, cultivar, region, DOP zone, harvest period, and tasting notes automatically • Cultivar and region read from body text, not just labelled fields • Log acidity, polyphenol content, harvest year, and certification when shown • Freshness alert: flags oils more than 18 months past harvest before they skew your data YOUR SENSORY FINGERPRINT • After 4 rated oils, your palate model unlocks • Five sensory bars — pungency, bitterness, fruit, body, complexity — ranked by what most divides your ratings, so the trait that decides your scores sits at the top • A headline intensity read (Delicate, Medium or Robust) derived from your highest-rated oils • Builds continuously as your collection grows WHAT YOUR DATA REVEALS • By cultivar: Picual vs Koroneiki vs Nocellara vs Arbequina — which olives you score highest • By origin: country, region, and DOP zone preferences derived from your ratings • By trait: where your palate sits on pungency and bitterness — the polyphenol signature you actually reward • Value analysis: highest quality per £/500ml across your collection BEST VALUE AND TOP RATED • Swipeable cards — top 3 by value, top 3 by rating • Price per 500ml normalised across bottle sizes • Metric (ml) and imperial (fl oz) — switch in Settings EXPLORE • 60-plus glossary entries across cultivar, origin, intensity, production, quality, certification, and concept • IOC sensory vocabulary in plain English — including why bitterness is a quality, not a fault PREMIUM • Your full sensory fingerprint — the five bars ranked, with the trait driving your palate called out • Full breakdowns by cultivar, origin, and trait with ranked data tables • Your palate archetype, written in plain language • Share your palate cards Premium is a subscription. A free trial, if offered, is shown at purchase. PRIVACY • Your data stays yours — no advertising, no data selling, no third-party profiling • Analytics and crash reporting can be turned off entirely in Settings Subscription Terms Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
