BeanFolio is a coffee bean management and pour-over logging app designed specifically for specialty coffee lovers. If you also open multiple bags of beans at once—only to forget how much is left or when they reach their peak flavor, or if you brew a perfect cup but forget the recipe and tasting notes a few days later... BeanFolio is here to gently gather those fleeting memories. Store them in your digital cellar, log each brew, and find your favorite flavors whenever you want. [Manage Your Coffee Beans] Keep all your active beans in a clean, digital cellar. Track remaining weight, resting status, and peak flavor windows. Know exactly what you are drinking and how much is left, at a single glance. - Bean Profiles: Record bean name, origin, processing method, roast level, and flavor notes. - Weight Manager: Log weight and price, and let the app automatically calculate the cost per gram. - Peak Flavor Alerts: Automatically calculate the resting period and notify you of the best time to brew. - Multi-Bag Management: Open multiple bags without the stress of trying to remember everything. [Log a Cup After Brewing] Log your cup in just a few simple steps after brewing. Say goodbye to tedious forms; with default gear and presets, logging is effortless, allowing you to focus on your actual tasting experience. - Quick 3-Step Log: Seamlessly record your equipment, recipe, and subjective experience. - Slider Controls: Adjust your coffee-to-water ratio and brew time with intuitive sliders that feel natural to use. - Presets & Autocomplete: Apply your go-to brewing recipes and grinder settings with one tap to minimize repetitive typing. [Recall Your Favorite Flavors] The coffee you've enjoyed shouldn't fade into a blurry memory. Browse through your brewing history on a clean timeline, just like flipping through a photo album. - Timeline View: Clearly grouped by date. Instantly see what you brewed today, or what you made last Friday. - Quick Specs: View dose, ratio, water temperature, and brewing method directly from the list without opening details. - Expressive Feedback: Use simple emojis to note whether a cup was a masterpiece or a flop, helping you avoid past mistakes. - Brew Stats: The "Total Brews" counter at the top tracks your evolving palate and growing brewing skills. [Lightweight, Just the Way It Should Be] BeanFolio doesn't want to be a complicated coffee tool. There are no heavy data systems or daily check-in requirements. It is simply your personal coffee journal—lightweight, yet fully featured. - Clean & Pure: Ad-free interface with support for Dark Mode. - Privacy First: No account registration required. Your data is stored locally on your device, safe and secure. - Multi-Language: Supports 8 languages, including Simplified/Traditional Chinese, English, and Japanese. Every bean, every cup, deserves to be remembered.
