Know what's on your bar cart, and what you can make with it tonight. BarKeep is a home bar inventory that answers one question well: given the bottles you actually own, what can you pour right now? Add bottles by photographing the label, scanning the barcode, or typing. BarKeep tracks what's open, what's running low, and what's empty — then filters 300 built-in recipes down to the ones you can make tonight, and shows what you're one bottle away from. NOT THE BIGGEST RECIPE BOOK — THE ONE THAT WORKS Every recipe is curated and checked against the shelf it's meant to be made from, so "makeable tonight" means you can actually pour it — not that an ingredient name happened to match. All 300 have a written note, a glass, and ingredients that recognize the bottles you already own, by the names they're actually sold under. FREE, AND STAYING FREE • Unlimited bottle inventory with photos, sizes, and how much is left • 300 recipes — classics, modern classics, tiki and highballs — 40 of them zero-proof • Makeable Tonight — recipes filtered to what's in stock, not what you wish you had • Identify a bottle from a photo — with Apple Intelligence, or with your own Claude API key • Low stock tracking, with reminders before you run out • Browse by ingredient, glassware, mood, or dietary filter • Ask the Barkeep — questions about your own shelf, answered from your own inventory ZERO-PROOF, NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT 40 of the 300 recipes contain no alcohol at all — a Nogroni, a Virgin Paloma, a Ginger Switchel, a proper Chocolate Egg Cream. They live in the same book as everything else and run through the same "what can I make tonight" filter, so a shelf with no spirits on it still works. BARKEEP PRO • Advanced Stats — spend, most-used spirits, and pour history • Export — your inventory and recipe book as a file you keep • Home Screen Widgets — low stock and makeable-now at a glance • Unlimited recipe imports — from a URL, pasted text, or TheCocktailDB (five are free) • Written tasting notes for the recipes you import; every built-in recipe already has one Pro is $2.99/month or $19.99/year in the U.S., with a one-week free trial on the yearly plan; prices vary by region. Everything above it stays free forever — no ads, no account, no sign-up. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://homebarkeep.com/privacy/ PRIVACY Your inventory lives on your device. There's no account to create and nothing to log into. To identify a bottle from a photo, BarKeep uses Apple's Private Cloud Compute when it's available, and otherwise does it entirely on your iPhone — when you're offline, for example. Apple designed Private Cloud Compute not to keep your photo and so that Apple can't access it, and the photo is never sent to us. The one feature that uses a server of ours — a written tasting note for a recipe you import — sends only the ingredient list, never the recipe name, and nothing about you or your bar. BarKeep is for adults of legal drinking age. Please drink responsibly.
