## What is Cave?

Cave keeps track of the wine you store at home: what you have, where each bottle is, and when each vintage is suggested to be ready. No account, no ads, no tracking.

YOUR CELLAR, AS IT IS
- One cellar for each home, with its racks, rows and slots.
- Racks shown as grids: filled and empty places at a glance.
- Racks with individual slots, or rows that simply hold a number of bottles.
- Areas for bottles that are not on a rack, such as a cupboard or a box.
- A placement picker suggests free places when you add or move bottles; you can change each one.
- With several homes, show all of them or only the one you are in.

ADDING BOTTLES
- Type the details yourself, or scan the bottle.
- Barcodes: link a bottle's barcode to your wine once; next time, scanning it shows the wine.
- Wine labels: the text is read on your device and the fields are filled in for you to check. On devices with Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device Foundation Models help sort the text into fields; on other devices, built-in rules do it.
- Keep a photo of the label for each vintage. Cave straightens it, or you keep the original.
- Import a CSV file from your own sheet, a Cave export or CellarTracker; add Rack, Row and Slot columns to place each bottle.

DRINK WINDOWS
- Each bottle gets a suggested window from a built-in table of appellations, regions and styles, compiled from published sources. It is general guidance, and you can edit any window.
- A "keeps until" year marks the outer limit where the table has one.
- Readiness states: Hold, Ready, Past peak and Beyond keeping, with a readiness filter and a sort by drink window in the Bottles list.

JOURNAL
- Every bottle taken out of the cellar, drunk or gifted, grouped by month.
- Note the occasion, a rating and a tasting note.
- Search by wine, occasion, note or month.

YOUR DATA
- Stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud account to your iPhone and iPad.
- Share your cellars with people you invite, through iCloud. Everyone sees the same bottles.
- Export your bottles as a CSV file at any time.
- Erasing all data needs a typed confirmation and Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.

ALSO
- iPhone and iPad, with a sidebar layout on iPad.
- Available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Arabic.
- Free, with no in-app purchases.

Cave is an inventory tool for the wine you already own. It does not sell alcohol.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-30

- Finding a wine in Bottles is easier: filter by Colour, Region, Vintage and Drink window with the buttons under the search field. Pick several regions or vintages at once, each with its number of bottles.
- Search suggests regions, appellations, producers and grapes as you type. Tap the empty search field to browse your regions. Recent searches stay on this device.
- Search also finds grapes, and region names in your phone's language.
- The Sort button sits next to the search field, and the list header is more compact.
- The house button is always at the top of Bottles, Journal and Locations. Choose "Add a home..." there to add another home.
- Label scans: the label reader gets ready when the scanner opens, so your first photo is read without waiting for it to load.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-19

- Barcodes recognise your own bottles: link a barcode to your wine once, and next time scanning it shows the wine. To add one later, choose "Scan a barcode for this wine" on the wine's screen.
- Change the vintage or volume of bottles already in your cellar. They keep their places, history and notes, and you can undo.
- Scanning: an unknown barcode no longer stops the camera. Photograph the label, and Cave offers to link the barcode.
- After a label scan, the vintage comes right after the wine, and Cave asks before saving a wine with no year.
- Alcohol is optional, and a wrong value no longer blocks saving your other changes. "13.5" and "13,5" both work.
- The Bottles list shows how many bottles and wines you have under its title.
- The Open Food Facts lookup is removed. Labels and barcodes are read on your device, and nothing is sent.
