## What is Pour Judgment?

Pour Judgment is a home bar that knows what it can make.

Tell it what is on the shelf by scanning a barcode, photographing a label, searching by name, writing a bottle in, or importing a spreadsheet. Tick the mixers, juices, fruit and garnish you actually have. Then ask.

WHAT CAN I MAKE TONIGHT
The whole of TheCocktailDB, about six hundred drinks, lives on your device and is scored against your shelf. See recipes you can make, what each is one ingredient short of, and which of your bottles would pour for every line. Matching knows its styles: a bourbon answers for bourbon, a Laphroaig does not, and prosecco is never a Manhattan's vermouth.

ONE DRINK FOR THE MOOD
Tonight picks a single drink for how you feel — easy, refreshing, strong, impressive, surprise me — and says why. It only picks what your shelf can make right now, drinks you have rated highly rise, and the reason is always true: it never claims a mood the drink hasn't earned. Choosing a mood involves no AI; the pick is worked out on your phone. The house recommends; say “not tonight” and it tries again.

THE BOTTLE TO BUY NEXT
Buy Next counts how many drinks every missing bottle would unlock and names the winner. Bottles you have finished are marked to restock. Share the list on the way to the shop.

A CELLAR YOU CAN READ
Browse a ruled ledger or a wall of label cards. Track how full each bottle is, rate what you pour, and read your verdicts back by month.

ON IPAD, THE BOOK OPEN FLAT
On an iPad the shelf runs down the left and whatever you have chosen — a bottle, a recipe, tonight's verdict — is on the right. Upright, landscape, Split View and Slide Over all work; ⌘1–4 switch tabs on a keyboard.

YOUR OWN RECIPES
Bookmark a drink or write your own. Both are scored like the book and can be tonight's recommendation.

OPTIONAL IDEAS BEYOND THE BOOK
Apple's on-device model can answer a typed mood or a substitution question where available. For drinks beyond the built-in book, optionally use your own Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini key. Every answer is checked against your actual shelf.

YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE
No account, no server, no analytics, no ads, no sync. Your cellar is stored on the device you scanned it with and nowhere else. Export it as a spreadsheet, and your recipes and pours as an archive, whenever you like. Most barcodes are checked first against a catalogue on the device; misses and name searches go to Open Food Facts. Nothing about you or your shelf leaves the device unless you enter your own key and tap.

FREE TO CATALOGUE, ONE PURCHASE FOR A FULL BAR
The free shelf holds eight bottles and three recipes of your own. Scanning, label reading, name search, Tonight, suggestions, pour history and both exports stay free. Full Bar is one purchase — no subscription — that lifts the two limits and adds spreadsheet import and Buy Next.

Recipes and photos are from TheCocktailDB. Claude is a product of Anthropic, ChatGPT of OpenAI and Gemini of Google. Each is used only with your own key, and none is required.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-01

Pour Judgment comes to iPad. On a wide screen the book lies open flat: your cellar, cocktails and recipes down the left, and whatever you have chosen — a bottle, a recipe, tonight's verdict — on the right. Tonight's recommendation is on the table the moment Home opens. Upright, landscape, Split View and Slide Over all work, and ⌘1–4 switch tabs on a keyboard.

Nothing changes on the iPhone.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-30

By the Bottle
A new card on Cocktails asks your AI engine for drinks written for the exact bottles on your shelf, not just "dark rum". Keep one or all.

My Recipes filters by shelf. The cellar has an Overview, counted by kind. Choose a bottle's style yourself on its page, and aged rums, single malts and Canadian whisky are recognised from the label. Import a spreadsheet from Settings. Plus a round of fixes to label reading, name search and the recipe book.
