About

Beanlog

Features
Read full description

Remember the coffee you loved. Track what's left. Know what to buy again. Beanlog is a coffee bean tracker and tasting journal for your home coffee collection. Keep the bag photo, your notes, remaining weight, and buy-again list together, so your next bag starts with what you already know. REMEMBER EVERY BAG Save a photo, record the roast level, and add your own rating and tasting notes. Search your collection when you remember the bag but not the name. Photo background removal happens on your device, and you can keep the original. KNOW WHAT'S LEFT Enter the remaining weight and your dose per cup. Each cup you log deducts that dose from the recorded supply. See your collection's remaining weight, recorded purchase value, and daily average in one place. Quantities follow what you enter and log. KNOW WHAT TO BUY AGAIN Mark a coffee you'd buy again, keep a separate list of bags to try, and look back at your purchase history. Save grind settings with a bag so you can find them when you buy it again. MAKE YOUR COLLECTION YOURS Browse your bags in a list or grid. Turn a selection into a coffee bag poster to save or share. Your photos and notes stay yours: no Beanlog account is required to start recording. START WITH 10 BAGS Keep up to 10 bags free, including list and grid views, basic statistics, purchase records, the bag wall, and manual backup export and restore. Membership adds unlimited bags, journal and timeline views, monthly trends, rankings and taste insights, reminders, and optional automatic iCloud sync with version history. Choose an annual auto-renewable subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Your local price appears before you confirm, and Restore Purchases is available in the app. APPLE HEALTH, IF YOU CHOOSE With your permission, Beanlog can write the caffeine and water amounts you enter to Apple Health. It doesn't estimate caffeine from bean weight or provide medical advice. Supports light and dark mode. Privacy policy: https://beanlog.cafe/privacy/ Terms of use: https://beanlog.cafe/terms/
