Dialed In is the shot logging companion built for home baristas who take their craft seriously. Whether you're dialing in a new bean or chasing a personal best, Dialed In tracks every variable that matters so you can pull better shots whether you’re learning or an experienced barista. **TRACK WHAT MATTERS** Log shot time, dose, yield, grind size, and notes alongside every shot. Each entry builds a complete picture of your technique over time. Use the in-app timer with a tap, or enter the time your machine already provides. Either way, your data is captured accurately and consistently. **KNOW YOUR EXTRACTION** Every shot is automatically labelled — Very Under, Slightly Under, Good, Slightly Over, or Very Over — based on your brew ratio or shot time. See at a glance what went wrong and what went right, without doing the math yourself. **SEE YOUR TRENDS** The trend charts lets you visualize extraction time, grind setting, and brew ratio across your recent shots. Spot the moment your dial-in clicked, or when an adjustment threw something off. **MANAGE YOUR BEANS** Keep a library of your coffees. Log shots against specific beans and see how each one performs as you work through a bag. **PREMIUM: iCLOUD BACKUP & CUSTOM FIELDS** Back up your shot history automatically to iCloud and restore it anytime. Add custom fields to capture anything your workflow requires — water temperature, crema color, acidity, specific flavors, or anything your heart desires. Dialed In is built for iOS and feels at home on your iPhone. No account required. No subscription needed to get started.

About

Remembrew

Read full description

Remembrew is the coffee journal for everyone who loves coffee. You do not need a fancy machine or specialty beans. A pod, a drip pot, a French press, or the cup from your favorite cafe, it all counts. If you love what is in your cup, Remembrew is for you. Scan a bag and Remembrew reads the label for you: roaster, origin, process, roast date. It remembers every bag you have ever opened, so your shelf lives in your pocket instead of your memory. Log a brew in seconds. Rate it, note what you tasted, and Remembrew quietly learns your palate. Over time it shows you what you actually like, not what the marketing says you should. Then ask. Remembrew has an AI that knows your library, your scores, and your notes. Ask what to brew next, why you keep scoring Ethiopians so high, or what "winey" really tastes like. The answers are about your coffee, not generic trivia. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Scan any bag with your camera and save it in seconds - Keep a private library of every coffee you have tried - Log brews with score, method, and tasting notes - See your palate take shape: top origins, roasters, and flavors - Get freshness reminders so a bag never goes stale on you - Ask an AI built around your own coffee history - Compare two bags side by side before you commit DESIGNED TO FEEL ALIVE Remembrew changes through the day. The light warms at midday and deepens at night, so opening the app feels less like a spreadsheet and more like a ritual. REMEMBREW PRO The journal, your library, your palate and your brew history are free, always. Pro is for the part that does work on your behalf. - A dial-in tip after every brew you log, read from your own numbers - Your palate explained in plain language, not just charted - Ask Remembrew as much as you like, instead of two questions a day - Everything we add later, at the price you join on Both subscriptions start with a 14-day free trial. You are not charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel before then in your Apple Account settings. - Monthly: 7.99 USD per month, after the trial - Annual: 54.99 USD per year, after the trial - Lifetime: 199.99 USD, one payment, no subscription PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your library and notes are yours.
