Features
From the first snap of the bag to your final tasting note, Phika keeps a record of every bean and every brew.
Snap a photo of your bag and record the roaster, origin, variety, process, and roast level — all in one place.
Track dose, water, grind setting, temperature, and extraction time for both espresso and filter brews.
Rate each brew out of 10, write tasting notes, and record whether you'd buy it again.
See what other coffee lovers are brewing. Filter by country, process, roast level, and brew type to find your next bag.
Browse a growing directory of specialty coffee roasters. See all the beans logged from each one.
Save coffees you want to try. When you finally log one, it disappears from your wishlist automatically.
See your favourite roasters, top origins, most-used equipment, and how your taste has evolved over time.
Browse your full coffee collection from your wrist with the companion Apple Watch app.
Generate beautiful branded share cards for any coffee in your collection and share them with friends.
About
Hey, I'm Josh 👋 — a solo indie developer from the UK.
Phika started with a simple frustration: I couldn't remember which coffee beans I'd bought or what I thought of them. I tried Apple Notes, but it quickly became messy. So I built the tool I wished existed.
It's become more than just an app — it's a passion project built by someone who genuinely loves coffee and wanted something better than a notes file.
Phika is completely free right now, with every feature available to everyone. When a paid tier launches in the future, everyone who joined early will keep full access for free — as a thank-you for being part of the community from the start.
Phika is built natively for iOS with SwiftUI. Your data is stored securely with Firebase. I don't run ads, I don't sell your data, and I never will.
