WhichCraft is the fastest way to track the beers you drink. No ads, no social features, no noise—just you and your brewlist. WHAT YOU GET • Fast Search Find any beer from a comprehensive catalog of hundreds of thousands of brews worldwide. • Your Brewlist Every tasting gets saved to your personal collection. Filter by liked, disliked, or browse everything you've tried. Sort by date, name, or rating—whatever makes sense to you. • Log Tastings Thumbs up or down. Add notes. That's it. We don't make you fill out a form or rate things on a 10-point scale. You tried a beer. You liked it or you didn't. Move on. • Location Tagging Add the brewery, bar, or couch where you tried a beer. It suggests where you are, so most of the time you don't have to type anything. • Your Places Every spot you've had a beer, as a list or a map. Rename them, give them an icon, merge the duplicates, archive the ones you're done with. Tap any place to see everything you've drunk there. • Private by Design Your tastings sync via iCloud. They're yours. We don't see them, we don't sell them, and we can't lose them in a data breach. Your brewlist lives in your iCloud account, not on some company's server. • Actually Fast Built for iPhone. No web wrappers, no lag, no waiting for things to load. Open the app, search, log, done. • No Ads, Ever We're not selling your attention to advertisers. You paid for the app (or you will). That's the business model. Clean and simple. WHY WHICHCRAFT? Because you shouldn't need a social network to remember which IPA you liked. You shouldn't have to scroll past ads to see your own data. And you definitely shouldn't trust a startup with your beer preferences when they're just going to get acquired and shut down in three years. WhichCraft is simple, fast, and private. It does one thing well: helps you remember the beers you've tried so you can find them again or avoid them next time. Download it. Log a few tastings. See if you like it. If you don't, we're not going to send you push notifications begging you to come back. We're not that kind of app. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 18 or later • iCloud account (for syncing across devices) SUPPORT Questions? Issues? Email us at support@whichcraft.beer We actually read our email.
