Ever loved a drink at a bar… and forgot its name by morning? "It was amazing — but what was it called?" "That place last week — what did I order?" "I drank it, and nothing was left behind." Drinkful fixes that. Snap a label, and the drink, the date, and the place are all saved together — one pour at a time, into your own field guide. ■ Snap it, never forget it - One photo captures the name, type, ABV, flavor notes, and food pairings - The date and place are saved too, so you always know what you drank, when, and where - Out late? Just take a photo — log it from your library tomorrow - Star ratings and notes remember how the night went ■ A calendar and a map of everything you've tasted - See at a glance which nights you drank, and which you didn't - Every place you've had a drink stays on your map as a pin — the bar abroad, the spot around the corner - Browse as photo cards, by type, by month, or on a virtual shelf ■ Never order the same thing twice (unless you want to) - Scan a drink you've had before and Drinkful tells you instantly - Earn a "NEW!" badge for your first of a kind, and a "First Find!" for drinks no one else has logged ■ Decode any label or menu - AI reads even brush-script Japanese sake labels that locals struggle with - Snap an izakaya or bar menu and get friendly explanations of every drink - Works in English and Japanese — perfect for travel in Japan ■ Your log stays yours - Automatic iCloud backup: your collection survives a new phone - The first 30 drinks are free. A one-time "Unlimited Collection" purchase keeps every drink after that (everything you've already logged stays free to view) Need a suggestion? Tell us the occasion — non- and low-alcohol options included. Note: This app is intended for users of legal drinking age.
