Read full descriptionHide full description
BottleVault is an elegant, straightforward inventory for wine, beer, sparkling drinks, spirits, mixers, soda, water and every other beverage. Create a grid with your own width and height, or add shelves that hold several bottles and boxes. Insert a row or column later without breaking the link between an existing drink and its physical place. Save photos, remaining amount, who gave it to you, when you received it and the suggested time to open it. Everything works offline and synchronises when a connection returns. Invite people you trust with a private link or QR code. Natural-language search finds a Shiraz, producer, gift or flavour across your notes and AI text. Download, inventory, sharing and sync are free. Optional bottle-image analysis uses one credit per successful analysis.
