Tea Caddy
A private tea caddy in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
You have bought the same disappointing green tea twice, and you know it. The Tea Caddy keeps your own record of every tea that passes through the pot — name, type from green to pu-erh, how many minutes you steeped it, and a verdict in your own words. It is a tasting journal with no ceremony, just the facts that make the next cup better.
What it keeps
- Teashort text
- Typechoice · Green / Black / Oolong / White / Herbal / Pu-erh
- Steep (min)number
- Verdictnotes
Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (Tea, Type, Steep (min) and Verdict) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of tea caddy entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Who else sees this
Nobody. Your Tea, Type, Steep (min) and Verdict never leave the file on your own disk. There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, and no code in the file that opens a network connection, pull the cable and watch it carry on working. How privacy works across the Hobby tools →
Questions people ask
How do I keep track of teas I have tried and liked?
Each tea gets an entry with its name, its type, your steep time in minutes, and a verdict field where you say what you actually thought. The next time you are standing in the shop, the list settles the argument.
Does this tea journal need an account or an internet connection?
Neither. It is one HTML file that runs offline in your browser; your verdicts never leave the page and there is nothing to sign up for. There is a live demo on the page too — go on, try it, it is the real thing.
Can I record steeping times for different teas?
Yes — every entry has a steep field in minutes, so once you have found the timing that tames a particular oolong, it is written down where you will find it again.
