Pour is a drink journal built around the moment, not the rating. Log any drink in two taps — a beer at a taproom, a wine at dinner, a cocktail at a bar, or a morning coffee you wanted to remember. Add a photo, a few notes, who you were with, and a location if you want one. Your journal builds quietly in the background: a personal record of the drinks, the places, and the people worth keeping. Private by default. Social when you want. Add friends and your pours become a feed you actually want to open — close friends, not followers. See what they're drinking and where, react to a great pour, and keep groups for your regular crew. Pour by pour, you decide what stays private and what you share. No public profiles, no follower counts, no leaderboard. Every pour drops a pin. Your map fills in as you go — a personal atlas of taprooms, trips, and back porches. Connect with friends and you'll see their pins too. Location is opt-in, one pour at a time. Your story, poured back to you. Choose any stretch of time — a week, a month, a whole year, or a theme like "beers on the road" — and Pour turns your journal into a warm, written recap of where you went, who you were with, and the moments worth holding onto. AI Recaps are powered by Claude (Anthropic) and made the moment you want one. Free to start. No subscription. Logging your pours, adding friends, building and browsing your map, and getting one Year in Review recap per year are all free. Credits unlock more AI recaps, PDF export and print, and shareable designed map images — bought once, used at your own pace. No recurring charges. Why Pour instead of Untappd? Pour is for the memory around the drink, not the score of the drink. No badges, no points, no ads, no data sold. If you've been logging on Untappd and want something more personal — or if you just want a low-key journal that's as happy logging a coffee as a craft beer — Pour is for you. Sign in with Apple. Your data syncs privately to Pour's backend. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising.
