Friday Pour is a small, friends-only app about whisk(e)y and other tasty drinks. Log a pour: what you're drinking, and the one-line reason you're drinking it. Your friends see it and raise a glass back with a cheers, a comment, or a pour of their own. That's the whole thing. No public feed. No strangers. No ads, no tracking, no algorithm deciding what you see. THE POUR Post what's in your glass and why. Add a photo, note how you take it, and tag the friends drinking with you. Friday pours get their own mark. CHEERS AND COMMENTS Raise a glass to a friend's pour, or say something about it. See who cheered yours, and get a notification when someone does. MY SHELF Keep track of the bottles you own. Point your camera at a label and Friday Pour reads it and finds the bottle. Rate what you drink, keep tasting notes, and mark a bottle killed when you pour the last of it. FRIENDS ONLY You connect by sharing a friend code or an invite link. There is no way to find you otherwise, and nothing you post is ever public. Friday Pour is for people of legal drinking age. Please drink responsibly.
