BeanTrack is a coffee journal: resting, brewing and scoring, all in one place. Resting comes first
 Every bag is placed on its timeline from the roast date: degassing, peak, late peak, past it. The home screen shows which bag to drink today and which one is about to slip — no counting days yourself. Log a brew in three seconds
 A new brew asks for four things: bean, grind, rating, notes. Water temperature, ratio, TDS and extraction live under "Advanced" and are pre-filled from your last brew. Anything that can be calculated never asks to be typed: days since roast, total score and value-for-money are all automatic. Brews without a bag work too — and each one can be turned into a share card. Scoring
 Six dimensions — aroma, sweetness, body, flavor, acidity, aftertaste — with the total summed for you; or just give a star rating. The comparison page puts several beans side by side on a radar chart and exports it as one long image. One shared bean library
 In the community each coffee has exactly one entry, with ratings, harvests and aliases gathered together; anyone can fix a typo. Roasters and farms come with write-ups, shown in English when the app is in English. Connect your gear
 Works with Bluetooth scales and refractometers such as the Timemore Basic 3, DiFluid R2 and Acaia Pearl — weight and flow curves are read automatically while you brew. AI assistant
