Privacy

Your data stays with you

On-device AICoach chat and text understanding run locally via Apple Intelligence.

The same goes for this website: no cookies, no trackers.

For roasters

Your beans, straight into the app

BrewPilot users love importing new beans directly from your website — name, origin, roast level, price and photo are picked up automatically. All it takes is two things: structured product data (Shopify, WooCommerce and most systems ship it out of the box) and a readable roast date on the bag. You probably have both already.

For roasters who want to go further, a format is in the works that sends a bean plus your recommended recipe into the app via link or QR code — including your suggested grind, dose and ratio. Interested? Get in touch.

Frequently asked questions

How much does BrewPilot cost?

The app is free, with no ads and nothing you have to buy. An optional Pro version with extra features will come later; everything that is free today stays free for everyone who starts now.

Do I need an account?

No. No registration, no login, no forced cloud — open the app and start right away.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone running iOS 26 or later. Some features (text understanding on import, coach chat) use Apple Intelligence and only appear on devices that support it — the app works fully without them, you just miss those extras. iPad and Apple Watch are planned.

Does BrewPilot work for filter coffee?

Yes. Besides the espresso dial-in there are guided brew plans for V60, Chemex, AeroPress and French press — with phases, target weights and a timer.

What happens to my data?

It stays on your iPhone. BrewPilot has no server, collects nothing and analyzes nothing. Your data only leaves the device when you share something yourself — and it is part of your regular iPhone backup.

Which languages is the app available in?

German and English.
