Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Roast Manager is a simple app for home coffee roasters.
With it you can manage your:
• green coffee
• roasting profiles
• coffee roasts
• coffee containers
The app is kept relatively simple, but everything has a comment field where additional content can be entered.
Data is automatically synced across all your devices via iCloud.
Additionally, the app features NDEF-compatible NFC tag support, allowing you to easily identify and manage your coffee storage containers (on devices with NFC support).
