RoastLog

RoastLogger is the application, or suite of applications, that we have developed to record and upload profiles and other roast details to the RoastLog cloud-based platform. Since creating the application, RoastLogger has gone through several iterations. This article will help clarify what options are available and which one is right for you.

RoastLogger for Mac/PC (version 5)

RoastLogger for Mac/PC (legacy, version 3 &amp; 4)

- RoastLogger Web (version 5)
- RoastLogger for Mac/PC (version 5)
- RoastLogger iPad (legacy)
- RoastLogger for Mac/PC (legacy, version 3 &amp; 4)

The table below shows which data bridges are supported across different RoastLogger applications ("RLog" denotes the RoastLog Data Bridge, which we no longer offer to new customers):

We officially launched RoastLogger Web in 2020 with a completely new version 5 launched in 2025. RoastLogger Web is the recommended application for anyone using Phidgets devices, which is the recommended data bridge (unless using a direct-connect roaster — see our <a href="http://support.roastlog.com/en/articles/15359634-works-with-your-roaster">compatible roasters list</a>.)

Important: RoastLogger Web requires Google Chrome browser.

RoastLogger Desktop — Mac/PC (Version 5)

If you are roasting using a direct-connect roaster, use RoastLogger Desktop. It's available for Windows, Intel Macs, and Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2/M3) — make sure to download the build that matches your machine. See our <a href="http://support.roastlog.com/en/articles/15359634-works-with-your-roaster">Works With Your Roaster</a> article for the full list of supported roasters.

Our native iPad application is a great choice for Apple fans who embrace the ease of having a touch interface. RoastLogger for iPad works exclusively with our Data Bridge using a Bluetooth connection.

Our iPad application is reliable and used daily by many roasters. We are currently keeping this application alive in Apple's AppStore, but focusing our development efforts on RoastLogger for web and Mac/PC.

You can find RoastLogger in the Apple App Store by simply searching for "RoastLogger".

RoastLogger Desktop — Mac/PC (Legacy, Versions 3 &amp; 4)

For over 15 years, our legacy Mac/PC version of RoastLogger (version 3 &amp; 4) has been in the field, recording roasting profiles all over the world, day after day. It's battle tested and works well. This is considered a legacy platform which is not receiving any new feature development.

We only support this version for existing customers using a legacy Data Bridge. New customers should use RoastLogger Web or Desktop (Version 5).

When deciding which version of RoastLogger to use, follow this simple guide:

Using a Phidgets device or RoastLog Data Bridge?

- Choose RoastLogger Web for the most up-to-date features and cross-platform compatibility
- If you prefer an installable app, RoastLogger Desktop (Version 5) offers the same features — choose the Apple Silicon or Intel build to match your Mac

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.

Prototype answer unavailable

I’ve got this page open. Ask me anything about it and I’ll answer from the docs.
