OverBrew Again
Read full descriptionHide full description
OverBrew is a logbook for your coffee. Track your shots. Connect your scale and every brew records itself: the pour curve, yield, time, beans, grind and notes — all in your history, automatically. Build recipes. Pour-by-pour schedules with bloom, pulses and bypass. When you brew one, the chart shows the target and cues you when the next pour starts. Analyze your brewing. See your flow rate on the chart, score each brew, check what actually happened after the last pour, and compare shots side by side to dial in faster. Share recipes. One link — it opens in any browser with the curve, the schedule and the coffee. No app needed on the other end. Make brew reels. Turn a shot into a vertical video with the live chart drawn over your recording — phase callouts, countdowns and the result at the end. Ready for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. The app is free; OverBrew Bro is an optional subscription that unlocks shot comparison and supports development. Works with many scales.
