## What is Punt?

Photograph a wine label. Punt works out what the bottle is, then tells you its story: the place it comes from and why it tastes of it, who makes it, how it's made, and what to notice while you drink.

Then you can ask. Every fact opens into another one, and it keeps going as long as you do. No bottle in front of you? Type a name instead and you get the same thing.

Say what you thought with three glasses: poured full, a taste, or turned over. That's the whole rating system and it's enough. Add a note by typing it or saying it out loud.

Punt draws an engraved plate and a picture of the wine's world for your first twelve bottles, free. A one-time purchase lets Punt keep drawing after that. Reading labels and keeping bottles stay free and unlimited.

After a handful of bottles, Punt starts telling you what it notices about your taste. Every sentence taps through to the bottles it counted, so you can check its work. It'll also name real wines to try next, and each one tells you which of yours it follows from.

No account needed and no sign-up. No feed, nothing to scroll. Sign in with Apple if you want to — it's optional, and every part of Punt works either way. Punt holds no account on any server. Your library is stored on your phone; selected photos, audio and wine facts are sent when needed for recognition, transcription, drawings and suggestions. The Privacy policy link in Settings explains what leaves your phone and who receives it.

A punt is the dimple in the bottom of a wine bottle. Here it's also the button you press.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.2 — 2026-11-09

Punt has a new name and a new subtitle. Nothing inside the app has changed: the same bottles, the same notes, the same drawings. The name just says more plainly what Punt is for and what it keeps on your phone.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-11-02

Punt now counts the first time each new install pours a reaction, so we can tell whether the pour is easy to find. The count carries only that it happened and the app version: no wine, note, photograph or account.

### 1.5 — 2026-11-01

Say what you thought by pouring it. Hold the glasses, tilt your phone, and lift when the glass looks right. Tapping still works. Palate is now your grape field: twenty four grapes, from the ones that hardly dry your mouth to the ones that dry it most, and every grape you drink fills in.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-20

Punt feels more responsive from the first photo to the bottle you keep. Wine colour pours into place, pictures develop on the page, and new words arrive with care. Search, reactions, your palate and share cards move more smoothly, with calmer alternatives for Reduce Motion.

Settings is simpler, with one link to the full privacy policy.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-09

This release makes Punt more reliable as it grows. It adds privacy-preserving anonymous counts for three moments: a first saved bottle, a third saved bottle, and reaching the drawing limit. No wine names, notes, photos, accounts, or device identifiers are included.
