About this app

The espresso log that answers the only question that matters on the second bag of the morning: what did I do last time, and did it work?

Espressotally keeps the bag on the bar, the grind step you dialled for it, and every pull you made against it — grind, dose, yield, time, a verdict and a note. Then it does the thing a notebook cannot: it shows you how the grind step tracked the yield, shot by shot, so the good one repeats.

WHAT YOU GET

· The bag on the bar, with its own grind step — the number belongs to the bean, not the app
· A shot log with a live timer: grind, dose, yield, time, verdict, note
· The dial-in readout — how the step tracked yield on each bag, with a plain-language verdict on whether to keep the step or move one detent finer (unlock)
· The printed dial-in sheet — a white A4 page per bag: every step, dose, yield, time and verdict, ready to print and tape to the machine (unlock)
· Bags, machines, baskets and grinders, so a step means something on your own equipment
· Every way out, free: CSV for the spreadsheet, JSON for a re-import, a backup file you hold, and restore that merges instead of overwriting

FREE AND UNLOCK

Every shot, every bag, unlimited — and every export — are free, permanently. The one payment unlocks the reading of the log: the dial-in readout and the printed sheet. No subscription, no trial, no ads, no account. The price is Google Play's, in your own currency.

PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION

Your log lives on your phone in the app's own storage. No account, no sync, no cloud, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting. Nothing you log ever leaves the device unless you export it and choose where it goes. The one network conversation the app has is with Google Play about the unlock.

FOR ANYONE PULLING ESPRESSO

Home machines and café machines, pressurised baskets and precision ones, a hand grinder with clicks or a flat burr with numbers on the collar. If you change beans and change the grind, this log is the memory you were keeping in your head.

No account. No cloud. The log is yours — that has been the point from the first commit.

What’s new

1.0 - the first release. Bags with their own grind dial; the shot log with a live timer; the dial-in readout and the printed A4 sheet; CSV, JSON, backup and restore, all free. No account, no cloud, and nothing you log leaves the phone.
