You tried a Kenyan kiamacora at a café in March and it ruined every bag of coffee since. Snap the bag and Palate fills in the roaster, the origin, and the tasting notes for you — so next time you actually remember what to buy again.

Most coffee gets logged nowhere — you drink it, you like it or you don't, and three weeks later the name is gone. Palate closes that gap by doing the typing for you.
Point your camera at any coffee bag, or pull a photo from your library, and Palate reads the label for you. Name, roaster, origin, process, and tasting notes — detected and dropped straight into the entry while you watch.
Seconds later the whole record is there — the bag photo kept for good, a flavor-profile breakdown, roaster notes, origin and process, and your own score out of five. Adjust anything the scan didn't nail with a tap.
Add a brew recipe to any coffee — method, dose, yield, ratio, grind, temperature, and time — with a line of notes for the dial-in that finally tasted right. Stack up as many brews as you pull from the bag.
Turn any entry into a clean share card — bag photo, tasting notes, tags, and your rating — then post it to Instagram, send it in Messages, or save it to your camera roll in a single tap.
This is the actual home screen — the four most recent entries, sorted by date, with the running average right at the top.
By date, by score, or by origin — whichever helps you find the bag you're thinking of.
Every entry notes where the cup came from, so a café pour and a home V60 never get mixed up in your history.
The whole point is that logging a bag takes less time than making the coffee did.
Palate is free to download and works without an account — sign in later if you want your journal backed up across devices.
