About

CoffeeLog

Features
Read full description

CoffeeLog is a personal journal for everyone who wants to remember the coffees they drink and understand what they actually enjoy. YOUR COFFEE COLLECTION Every bag you try goes into your collection β€” roaster, origin, region, process, varietal, altitude, roast level, flavor notes and more. Over time your collection becomes a record of your taste: the origins you return to, the processes that click with you, the roasters worth following. LOG EVERY BREW Pair each coffee with your brew notes. Record the method, recipe, water temperature, grind size and your personal rating. When you find a combination that works, it's there to repeat. When something falls flat, you'll know why. EFFORTLESS TO ADD Point your camera at a coffee bag label and CoffeeLog reads it for you β€” filling in the details automatically so you can spend less time typing and more time drinking. Review, confirm, and it's in your collection. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal lives on your device. No account to create, no subscription, no data sent anywhere. If you want to access your collection on another Apple device, optional iCloud sync moves everything through your own iCloud account β€” nobody else sees it. β€’ Personal coffee collection with full bag details β€’ Brew sessions with recipe, method and rating β€’ Scan bag labels to add coffees without typing β€’ Rate and add tasting notes to track what you enjoy β€’ Insights into your taste over time β€’ Optional iCloud sync β€” your data, your account β€’ No account, no subscription, no ads
