Hey Product Hunt! I'm the maker of CoffeePal. A couple years ago I came back from a trip with the memory of one perfect cup, a hand-poured V60 from a tiny roaster near my hotel. I'd even taken a photo of it. Months later I wanted to brew it again and couldn't. The photo was buried under thousands of others, and I had no idea what the beans were. That cup was just gone. So I tried the coffee apps. Every one of them wanted grind size, dose, yield, water temp, TDS. They turned my morning coffee into a spreadsheet, and I quit every single one within a week. CoffeePal is the opposite of that. The brew isn't data, it's a memory. You snap a photo of today's cup and it becomes a dated, tagged entry on a visual Timeline of Brews. That's the whole idea. What it does: - Snap or batch-import photos from your camera roll, sorted instantly - Auto-fills date, time of day and place from the photo, no typing - Add method tags (V60, espresso, AeroPress, cold brew, latte), tasting notes and roast labels in seconds - Turn favorite cups into stickers with on-device AI background removal, no photos ever leave your phone - Calendar Poster and Color Cards turn your year of coffee into shareable art - Whim of Fate surfaces a forgotten cup when you don't know what to brew Design philosophy: it should feel like a photo diary, not a lab notebook. Open it, snap, note how it tasted, close it. The richness builds on its own over months. On pricing: free to use, with an optional Premium you can buy once for life if subscriptions aren't your thing. No account, no ads, no data collection, optional iCloud sync with your own account. I'd love your feedback, especially on the visual timeline and the sticker cutouts. What would make this your daily coffee companion?
