Frequently asked questions
How do I add a brew or a bag of beans?
Tap the + in the bottom navigation bar. On Home or Records, it opens a new brew record. On the bean collection page, it opens the bean entry form. Choose your beans and brewer, fill in the details, and save.
How does the remaining bean amount change?
A saved brew linked to a bean uses its dose to update the remaining amount. Editing or deleting linked records also updates the associated inventory. Check that the intended bean is selected and that its stock and dose are correct.
What is the difference between JSON backup and CSV export?
Go to Me → Data Management. A JSON backup includes beans, photos, brew records, equipment, profile details and settings, and can restore the app’s data. CSV exports brew records for viewing in a spreadsheet; it is not a complete backup and cannot be used for restoration.
How do I restore a backup or move to another device?
Export a JSON backup from the original device and save it somewhere you control. Transfer that file to the new device, then choose Restore Backup in Data Management.
Restoring replaces the current data; it does not merge records. The app keeps a local copy of the previous files before replacement. Export your current data first if you want a separate copy. There is no built-in cloud sync.
Do I need to allow camera or photo access?
Only taking a new bean or bag photo needs camera permission. You can instead choose a built-in bag illustration or use the system photo picker to select a photo. Refusing camera access does not prevent recording or bean management. Images stored in iCloud Photos may need a network connection to download.
Why might the app request network access?
Home checks Apple’s App Store service for a newer version. This sends the app’s bundle identifier and your region code, not your coffee records or photos. Opening support pages, following an App Store link, or loading a cloud-stored photo or backup may also use the network. Core recording works offline.
Where are the guides, calculator and timer?
Find all four tools in the Brew companion cards on Home. Guide pages keep basic parameters visible and let you expand roast suggestions, preparation and individual brewing steps. V60, espresso and cold brew include alternative recipes. Guide and knowledge articles are currently in Simplified Chinese.
Will the timer keep my session after I close the app?
The timer can start, pause, resume and finish a session. A running timer continues counting elapsed time while the app is in the background, but the session is not saved across an app restart. It is a stopwatch, not a scheduled alarm or notification reminder.
Do I need an account or membership?
No account is needed, and version 1.0 has no in-app subscription or membership renewal. Any app download price is shown by the App Store. Your coffee data stays on your device; use a JSON backup to move it to a new device.
Before you troubleshoot
Keep a JSON backup before replacing data, reinstalling or moving devices. Try restarting the app and checking for an update first. If data fails to load, keep the original files and contact us before clearing anything.
Deleting the app removes its local data. Files already exported to Files, iCloud Drive or another location must be managed separately.

使用中的小问题,
在这里找找答案。
从下面的常见问题开始,或直接给我们写信。一起把你的咖啡日记,好好照顾。
常见问题
如何新增冲煮记录或咖啡豆?
点击底部导航中的 +。在首页或记录页,它会打开新增冲煮记录;在豆仓页,它会打开咖啡豆入库表单。选择豆子和器具、填写相关信息后保存即可。
豆仓里的剩余豆量如何变化?
保存关联了豆子的冲煮记录后,应用会根据粉量更新库存。编辑或删除关联记录时,也会调整对应的库存变化。请确认选中了正确的豆子,并检查入库豆量与本次粉量。
JSON 备份和 CSV 导出有什么区别?
进入我的 → 数据管理。JSON 备份包含豆子、照片、冲煮记录、器具、个人资料和设置,可以用来恢复应用数据。CSV 用于在表格软件中查看冲煮记录,不是完整备份,也不能用于恢复。
如何恢复备份或迁移到新设备?
先在旧设备导出 JSON 备份并妥善保存,将文件传到新设备后,在数据管理中选择恢复备份。
恢复会替换当前数据,而不是合并记录。替换前,应用会在本机保留一份原文件副本;如果需要独立保存当前内容,请先自行导出。应用目前没有内置云同步功能。
必须允许相机或相册访问吗?
只有拍摄豆子或豆袋照片时才需要相机权限。你也可以使用内置豆袋插图,或通过系统照片选择器选取图片。拒绝相机权限不影响记录和豆仓管理。若选中的照片保存在 iCloud 照片中,系统可能需要联网下载。
为什么有时会提示需要网络?
首页会向 Apple 的 App Store 服务检查新版本,请求包含应用标识和地区代码,不包含你的冲煮记录或照片。打开支持网页、跳转 App Store,以及读取存放在云端的照片或备份文件时,也可能需要联网。核心记录功能可离线使用。
冲煮指南、计算器和计时器在哪里?
首页的冲煮助手卡片提供四个入口。指南中基础参数直接显示,烘焙度建议、前置准备和每个冲煮步骤都可以按需展开。V60、意式和冷萃还可切换不同方案。指南与知识文章目前为简体中文。
关闭应用后,计时器会保留吗?
计时器支持开始、暂停、继续和结束。运行中的计时会计算应用退到后台期间经过的时间,但会话不会跨应用重启保存。它是正向计时工具,不是预约闹钟或通知提醒。
需要账号或会员才能使用吗?
无需注册账号,1.0 版本也不包含应用内订阅或会员自动续费,下载价格以 App Store 展示为准。咖啡数据保存在本机,换机时请通过 JSON 备份迁移。
排查问题前,先留一份备份
替换数据、重装或换机之前,先导出 JSON 备份。可以先尝试重启应用、检查更新;若遇到数据读取失败,请保留原文件,先联系我们,再决定是否清除数据。
删除应用会移除其本地数据。此前导出到“文件”、iCloud 云盘或其他位置的副本,需要另行管理。
