Platform Pilot · Mac

Roast beside the machine. Debrief with the full record.

Pilot is a free native Mac app that connects the roaster, draws the curve live, and will hold a PID-capable machine to a profile when you want it to.

Connect a roaster (sidebar → Roaster) to use manual controls: preheat, cleaning, cooldown, and hardware sliders.

Read the roast while it is still happening.

Pilot puts the machine's signal, the profile you are working to, and the record it leaves behind on the same screen, beside the drum rather than after the fact.

One time axis, not four charts

Temperature and rate of rise share a single timeline, with first crack and drop marked where they actually happened.

Every batch keeps its numbers

Charge and drop weights are recorded with the roast, so weight loss across the whole run has a shape rather than an average.

Describe the hardware once, then return to roasting.

Choose a supported roaster, controller, or probe, retain its capacity and connection method, and pin the machine Pilot should open with.

Follow the profile, or let Pilot drive it.

Put a known-good roast beside the one unfolding and work to it by hand, or hand the curve over and let Pilot hold the machine on it. Auto roast drives a PID-capable roaster to the target, cuts the heat if a probe stops reporting, and picks the roast back up if the connection drops.

Compatibility

Start with the machine you already have.

Pilot is free, so finding out where your roaster lands costs one batch. Every machine below is a preset you pick from a list — no register hunting.

  1. Roasters

    Full control, tested.

    Kaleido and IKAWA over USB, Bluetooth, WiFi, or Ethernet. Heater, fan, and drum, with PID and Auto roast. Kaffelogic runs its own profile and hands Pilot the fan.

  2. Also connects

    Control built.

    Aillio, Hottop, ROEST, Sandbox Smart. Heater, fan, and drum are implemented, but not yet run on a real one of each. Pilot is free, so confirming yours costs a batch.

  3. Read and record

    The roaster keeps the wheel.

    Loring, Probat, Giesen, Diedrich, Mill City, Toper, Joper, Coffed, IMF, San Franciscan, Sivetz, Besca, and more over Modbus or Siemens S7. Live curve and the full record; the panel still drives.

  4. Probes and fallback

    No roaster interface at all.

    Phidget thermocouples over USB, or any generic serial or Modbus probe. With nothing connected, enter readings by hand and the roast still lands in the record. Demo mode runs the whole app on sample data.

Operating boundary

Local first, connected when useful.

Pilot can stand alone at the roaster. Signing in adds shared Cloud context without turning a network interruption into a failed roast.

The Mac keeps the roast.

Pilot works locally and continues capturing when the internet connection is unavailable.

Cloud adds the shared workflow.

Signing in brings production orders, profiles, lots, and the returned batch record into the wider operation.

Learn more

You decide when Pilot takes the wheel.

Work the machine by hand with the target drawn beside you, or turn on Auto roast and let Pilot hold the roaster to the curve. It does not forecast the roast, and it does not switch itself on.

Questions at the machine

Start at the roaster.
