The coffee journal for people who care about taste, not gear. You bought the beans. You dialed in the brew. But two weeks later, you can't remember if that washed Ethiopian was the one with jasmine notes, or the one that fell flat. dose. fixes that. dose. is a quiet, focused coffee journal. Snap a photo of the bag. Log the brew. Rate the cup. Over time, dose. becomes a record of your taste — the roasters you keep coming back to, the origins that always land, the brews you'd actually pay for again. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Capture the coffee. Photograph the bag and log roaster, origin, process, and varietal. • Log the brew. Track method, dose, ratio, time, temperature, and grind. The details that matter, nothing that doesn't. • Rate the cup. Score every brew on a simple scale. Add notes when you have something to say. Skip the form when you don't. • Build your cabinet. See every coffee you've ever tried in one place, ranked by your own taste. • Track your roasters. See who's consistently great, and who you'll skip next time. WHO IT'S FOR If you've got a grinder, a kettle, and an opinion, this is for you. dose. doesn't care if you brew V60, AeroPress, espresso, or all three. It's not a recipe app. It's not a social network. It's a personal record of what you've tasted and what you've thought. INVITE-ONLY dose. is invite-only on purpose. Every code is named after a character — Frodo, Wedge Antilles, Bombadil. Ask a friend who's already on it. If you don't have one yet, that's part of the point. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data is yours. Your cabinet is private. Your ratings are private. dose. doesn't sell it, doesn't share it, and doesn't shove a feed in your face. The only thing dose. cares about is helping you taste better. Paste that into the Description field. A few notes: - The first 3 lines are critical — that's all users see before they tap "more". Mine leads with the value prop, then a relatable problem, then how dose solves it. - The character-named invite codes line is a great hook — leans into what makes dose. distinctive (most coffee apps don't have personality) - No emojis — Apple-friendly, fits your brand's restrained aesthetic. You can add them if you want a more playful tone (e.g. before "Capture the coffee") - No URLs in description — Apple doesn't allow them. Marketing URLs go in the dedicated "Marketing URL" field on the same page.
