Web App

Rostoc has an online version at web.rostoc.co. This web version gives you access to your roasting data from any browser — another computer, your phone, or a tablet — with nothing to download or install. Log in with the same Rostoc account you use in the desktop app; your data syncs through the cloud.

What you can do in the browser

Home — the same Home the desktop app opens on: what needs you today and what you have roasted.
Batches — browse and search your roast history and open a Roast Batch to review its Curve, events, details, and linked Reference Curve. A gas, airflow or drum value you typed can be changed or removed on its chart, as in the desktop app.
Plans — browse, search, sort and filter the Plans table, review targets and linked Batches, and set a Reference Curve. Create or fully edit Plans in the desktop app.
Coffee lines — browse your Coffee Lines and work with their Lots: add a Lot, order and receive coffee, adjust or split stock, finish a Lot, and print a label. Create, edit, import, or archive Coffee Lines in the desktop app.
Inventory — check stock, value, Coffee Lines at risk, orders, and movements, and start a new order.
Settings — manage account preferences and warehouses, and review saved Machines. Add or configure Machines in the desktop app.
Scanned codes — open a label you scanned with a phone. See Labels and codes.

Open the page you are on in the browser

In the desktop app, the link icon at the top right of the window copies a link to the page you are on in the web app. The tooltip reads Link copied, and a small panel shows the address with Open, which opens the same page in your browser. Anyone signed in to your Rostoc account can open the link. Pages the web app does not have, such as Roast Studio and the machine catalog, have no icon.

Scanning a label with your phone

A label scanned from a phone lands here. If the desktop app is running on that computer it opens there instead; otherwise the browser opens the Batch or the Lot the label came from. You are asked to sign in if you are not already, and returned to the record afterwards.

What needs the desktop app

Roasting is not available in the browser. Connecting or controlling a Machine and recording a roast in Roast Studio happen in the desktop app. When the desktop app is online, completed Roast Batches sync to the cloud and then appear in the web app.

The web app requires an internet connection. If you roast while the desktop app is offline, reconnect it and allow cloud sync to finish before looking for the Batch in the browser.

Your data in the cloud

Your roast data is backed up to your Rostoc account automatically — you don’t have to export anything or run backups yourself. If your computer is replaced or the app is reinstalled, log in and your data is there. The same backup is what makes it available in the browser, on the plans that include web access.

Plan availability

Browser access is included in Foundation and Growth. The free Hobby plan does not include it. On a Hobby plan you can still log in, but the app shows “Browser access is locked on Hobby” and asks you to upgrade.

Plan limits follow your subscription, the same as in the desktop app. Inventory tools — Coffee lines and Inventory — require Growth.

Logging in

Open web.rostoc.co in your browser.
Sign in with the same Rostoc account you use in the desktop app, using email and password or Google as applicable.
Your Batches, Plans, and inventory are there — the same data you see in the desktop app.

Common questions

Can I use Rostoc on my phone or tablet?

Yes. The web app works in mobile browsers, and the layout adapts to small screens. A larger screen works best for tables and charts. Roasting still requires the desktop app — there is no mobile roasting.

Is there a mobile app for iPhone or Android?

No. There is no separate app to install from an app store. Open web.rostoc.co in your phone’s browser instead.

Do I need to download or install anything?

No. The web app runs entirely in your browser.

I logged in but everything is locked. Why?

Your plan does not include browser access. The web app is available on Foundation and higher plans — upgrade from the lock screen or from the desktop app.

Can I start a roast from the browser?

No. Roasting happens in the desktop app, connected to your Machine. Use the web app to review batches, plan roasts, and manage inventory from anywhere.
