BrewPilot vs CrackLog

BrewPilot works out the water for your coffee dose and walks you through every pour, timed to the second. RATIO CALCULATOR Pick one of ten methods: V60, Kalita Wave, Chemex, AeroPress, Clever Dripper, French press, espresso, moka pot, Turkish coffee or cold brew. Set your dose and ratio, and the water follows. Measure in grams or ounces, or the coffee in tablespoons. BrewPilot keeps your dose, ratio and grind for each method. GRIND SETTING A grind slider for each method, with as many steps as your grinder has. ICED COFFEE One switch splits the water into hot water and ice. The pours then target the hot water only. GUIDED POUR-OVER TIMER Step-by-step timers for V60, Kalita Wave, Chemex, AeroPress, Clever Dripper and French press. Each pour shows how much water to add. Steps can move on by themselves, and your iPhone can vibrate at every change. The timer keeps running when your iPhone locks, and a notification tells you when each step ends. ESPRESSO, MOKA POT AND TURKISH COFFEE A stopwatch for each. The espresso timer shows a 25 to 35 second target window. COLD BREW A long countdown that sends a notification when your cold brew is ready. COFFEE BEANS Keep the beans you have at home with roaster, origin, process, roast level, roast date and flavor notes. Three coffees are free, more with Pro. BREW LOG (PRO) Rate each cup and write down what you tasted, so you know which beans and recipes worked. Export the log as a CSV file. YOUR OWN RECIPES (PRO) Save your own steps, temperature and iced split, load a recipe into the timer with one tap, and send it to a friend as a link. ICLOUD SYNC Your brews, coffees and recipes reach your other Apple devices through your own iCloud. You can turn sync off in Settings. PRIVACY No account and no BrewPilot server.

Hear the crack, press the big button once. A dot lands on the curve right there. CrackLog is a roasting log for home roasters who read the temperature off the machine and listen for the cracks themselves. Start the timer at charge, log temps as you go, tap first crack and second crack when you hear them, and the roast curve draws itself in real time. At drop, the batch becomes a card in your collection. Nothing to sign up for and nothing uploaded: your roast curves and batch cards never leave the handset you tapped them into. TRY IT BEFORE YOU ROAST A demo compresses a ten-minute roast into thirty seconds. You tap the cracks yourself and watch the dots land, without a single green bean. Demo batches stay out of your stats and overlays. A ROAST, START TO FINISH Charge: the timer starts at 0:00. Roasting: log the temperature shown on your roaster as often as you like. Keep the screen on while the timer runs. Cracks: tap First crack when you hear it, then Second crack. The dot is placed at that exact second. Mis-tapped? Undo on the spot. Drop: the timer stops, total time and DTR are worked out, and the batch card is made. DONE BY HAND, ON PURPOSE You type the temperature you see and you press the crack you hear. CrackLog never guesses your roast level and never grades the roast. It records what happened, as it happened. FAN AND POWER, LOGGED IN PLACE Each time you turn fan or power (1 to 9), one tap. The changes draw as a step line in a lane under the curve and sit in a table on the card, so next time with the same green coffee you can follow "fan 7 at 3:20" exactly. Tap yellowing and the end of first crack too and the drying, Maillard and development ratios are summarised for you. Preheat and room temperature go in the batch details. WHAT A CARD HOLDS Time-by-temperature curve with first and second crack dots Fan and power changes, yellowing and end-of-first-crack times Green coffee, origin, charge weight, drop weight, weight loss, roaster used, preheat and room temperature Roast level, eight steps from Light to Italian, chosen by you One line of roasting notes Browse the collection by green coffee or roast level. There are no streaks, no missions and no nagging to roast every day. SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE LAST BATCH Overlay the previous batch of the same green coffee as a translucent curve and compare as you roast. Roast again from any card and the green coffee, charge weight, roaster and preheat are filled in before you start. ROASTER'S KIT (OPTIONAL, ONE-TIME PURCHASE) Replay guide: start the same green coffee and the last batch's fan, power and crack times run alongside your timer. Multi-batch overlay: up to three earlier batches on one curve. Second temp: alternate between two readouts, such as bean temperature and exhaust temperature. Name them yourself and a second line is drawn on the curve. Roaster profile: rename the two dials and set their ranges to match your machine. Curve share card, green coffee stock, stats by green coffee, your own marks, card theme. Not a subscription. Whatever is free today stays free. YOUR RECORDS BELONG TO YOU Export every batch to a single file and import it again. Delete everything in one step from Settings. Logging works without an account, without a connection and without touching your photos, mic or location. Ads never appear and nothing renews. One optional lifetime purchase, handled by the App Store.
