The Coffee Index is a SwiftUI iOS app designed as a personal coffee journal – a dedicated space to track café visits, log drink customizations, and much more. In its current V1 form, it operates as a fully private, single-user experience.
Key Features
- Log shop visits with full drink customization (type, size, milk base, temperature, syrup, and cold foam)
- Rate visits using multi-criteria sliders
- Attach photos to visits
- View your shops with score and visit-count indicators
- Onboarding taste quiz builds a personal User Taste Profile
- Insights screen with trends – average score by drink type, top-performing shops, and rating changes over time
Privacy
Privacy is a deliberate design priority. All data in V1 is stored privately – your taste profile, visit logs, and photos are never exposed publicly. The app uses CloudKit for sync, keeping data in your own iCloud account rather than a third-party server. There are no ads, no public feeds, and no data sold or shared.
Who Is It For?
- Café hoppers who want to track and rate shops they’ve visited
- Anyone serious about their coffee who wants more than a notes app – a structured, opinionated journal built specifically for coffee
