Features

Built for the craft,
not the casual sip.

Every detail that matters to a serious home barista, in one focused app.

Ratio Intelligence

Visual extraction zones (Ristretto → Lungo) guide you to the ideal 1:2 espresso ratio. Filter brews show method-specific typical ranges.

Full Brew Logging

Espresso and filter methods. Log roaster, origin, process, dose, yield, grind setting, temperature, and time — all in one flow.

Taste Ratings

Score each brew out of 10. Add tasting notes, aroma tags, and a photo. Build a library of your best pulls over time.

Built-in Timer

Start the extraction timer directly from the brew form. Never lose track of your pull time while managing dose and grind.

Dark & Light Mode

A warm espresso palette that works in any lighting. Perfect for early morning dialling in or evening tasting sessions.

Pro — Coming Soon

Statistics & trends, package scanner (auto-fill roaster & origin), advanced export, and more. Join the waitlist for early access.

About

Built by a home barista, for home baristas.

Shotbook started as a personal frustration — spreadsheets were clunky, notes apps were messy, and no existing coffee app had the right level of detail without being overwhelming.

As the former founder of Gallery 4 Specialty Coffee in Cologne, I spent years tracking shots on paper: notebooks soaked by steam, recipe cards that vanished between shifts, loose notes that never made it back to the grinder. There had to be a better way.

The goal is simple: a focused, distraction-free journal that helps you remember what worked, understand why, and brew better tomorrow.

Made with care by Michael Timofeev.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is Shotbook free? ⌄

Where is my data stored? ⌄

All brew data is stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. No account is required and nothing is sent to a server. Your coffee diary stays yours.

Which brew methods are supported? ⌄

Espresso and all major filter methods: V60, Chemex, AeroPress, Kalita Wave, French Press, Moka Pot, and Cold Brew. Each method shows method-appropriate ratio ranges.

Is there an iOS version? ⌄

What does the ratio zone feature do? ⌄

As you enter your dose and yield, Shotbook calculates the extraction ratio in real time and shows which zone you're in — Ristretto, Ideal, Lungo, etc. — with a visual progress bar. It also shows a tooltip explaining what the ratio means so you can dial in with confidence.

What's coming in Pro? ⌄

Pro will add: an AI Packaging Scanner that photographs a coffee bag and auto-fills roaster, name, origin, process, and roast level; a Brew Mentor that learns from a few test brews and tells you how to dial in the next one; a Specialty Coffee Community — like Vivino for coffee — to share ratings and discover beans suited to your region; flexible Data Sync across Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and iCloud Drive; and a Coffee Calendar tracking your brews per day, week, and month.
