DialBeans help and support

Something not working, or an idea? Write to dialbeans@not2much.com. It helps to mention your iPhone model and what you were doing.

The scan didn't read my bag

Hold the bag still in good light, front first. If the roast date is on the back, turn it when the app asks. You can correct any field before saving, and if a coffee isn't in the catalog, what's on the label is used.

How do I set my grinder?

Open the gear on the shelf and choose your grinder, or set its dial by hand. Usual grind is where a new bag's first espresso starts. After that, a bag starts from its last brew.

Does it sync between devices?

Yes, when iCloud is on for your Apple Account. Your journal syncs through your own private iCloud. You don't need an account with us.

Why don't I see illustrated bags?

They use Apple's Image Playground, which needs Apple Intelligence and a supported iPhone.

How do I back up or move my journal?

In Settings, under Your data, Export as a file saves your bags, brews and notes, without photos. Import a file brings an export back, replacing what's on the phone.

How do I delete my data?

Deleting the app removes its data from your iPhone. You can remove the iCloud copy in iOS Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Storage → DialBeans.
