## What is Cave Note?

Snap a photo of a wine label and the AI reads the producer, wine name, vintage, grape, and region, then drafts your tasting note. Add a star rating and save. That's the whole record.

It's a journal of the wines you drink, not a shop or a ratings feed. There are no ads.

■ Start a Record With One Photo
• Photograph the front and back labels, up to two photos. The AI reads each detail field by field.
• Labels are read as printed, whether they're English, French, Italian, Spanish, or Japanese.
• Small producers and natural wines are covered too. When a label isn't enough, the app checks the web to confirm.
• Line the label up in the guide frame for a steadier shot and a more accurate read.
• Fix anything on the spot. Low-confidence fields are shown dimmed, so you know what to check.
• Start from a photo already in your library.
• If the AI can't read a label, or the bottle has none, enter it by hand. A wine name and a type are enough to save.

■ Remember How It Tasted
• Rate from 0.5 to 5 stars, in half-star steps.
• Taste tags such as tannin, acidity, fruit, maturity, sweetness, and body.
• Price, glass or bottle, where you drank it, the date, and free-form notes.

■ See Where You Drank
• Switch the list to a map, and pins with label photos appear where you drank.
• Keeping the location is your choice for each record. It starts on by default, and you can change the default in Settings.

■ Find and Revisit
• Full-text search across wines, producers, and notes.
• Filter by type, region, grape, rating, price range, and date.
• Records of the same wine are grouped together, so you can compare with the last time you had it.
• Curious about a bottle? Jump to a web search built from the producer and wine name.

■ See It in Numbers
• Bottles by month and year, share by wine type, average price, and rating distribution.

■ Take Your Records With You
• Export every record as CSV and photos, anytime, for free.
• Deleted records stay in the trash for 30 days.

■ Sync and Account
• Sign in with Apple, sign in with Google, or use an email code.
• Records and photos sync to the cloud, so they come back when you sign in on a new phone.
• Delete your account and all your data from Settings anytime.

■ Pricing
Logging, search, the map, and export are free. The free plan includes 10 AI scans a month (a front and back label count as 2). After you reach the limit, you can keep logging by hand.
Cave Note Premium raises the limit to 100 AI scans a month. In the US it's $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year. It renews automatically, and you can cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

■ Your Data
• Label photos are sent to Google (Gemini API) only to read the label. They aren't used to train models.
• Exif data in your photos, such as the date and location, is removed on your device before upload.
• Only for records with "Keep location" on, the coordinates read from the photo are saved separately, as numbers.
• No ads, and no tracking for advertising.
