Golden Beans

Golden Beans keeps the information you rely on ready to trust. Record a procedure, checklist, spec, or source note once, set how long it stays fresh, and the app tells you exactly when it needs re-checking, so stale knowledge never quietly becomes a habit. It is built for people who work from accumulated notes: engineers maintaining runbooks, researchers tracking sources, contractors keeping compliance material current, and anyone whose notes lose value when nobody re-verifies them. - Freshness board: see at a glance how much of your knowledge base is fresh, due soon, stale, or expired, with a live freshness percentage that excludes archived and superseded entries. - Recheck queue: one list of everything needing attention in the next 30 days, grouped by urgency. Mark an item verified and the clock starts again. - Per-record schedules: set a freshness window in days, a warning lead time, and an optional hard expiry date. Recheck instructions travel with the record. - Dependency awareness: link records that depend on one another, and the app flags anything built on a stale, expired, or superseded source, directly or through a chain. - Searchable library: filter by status and category, and search across titles, summaries, sources, and tags. Self-assessed confidence stays visible on every record. - Local analytics: status distribution and category breakdown charts, plus a forward look at what falls due within 7, 30, or 90 days. - Offline and private: everything is stored on your device. No account, no sign-up, no cloud sync, no tracking, and no access to your camera, location, or contacts. Use it for runbooks that go stale after each release, vendor terms that renew, certifications that lapse, estimates and assumptions that drift, or research notes that need a second look before you cite them. Sample data is included, so you can explore the workflow before entering your own. Everything you record stays on the device, and verification is your own attestation. The app never fetches or scrapes your sources for you. Add what you rely on, and let the schedule carry the memory.
