Do I need special hardware to use Rostoc?

No. Rostoc works with standard roasting setups. If you already use a logging tool like Artisan or Roastime, you can import curves into Rostoc.

Can I import my existing roast profiles?

Not in this phase. Right now, Rostoc focuses on planning, comparing, organizing, and refining your roasting process — without replacing your logging tool.

Mobile support is coming, but today Rostoc works best on desktop or tablet.
