CELLAR ANALYTICS Beautiful charts reveal the story of your collection: value breakdown, regional diversity, vintage distribution, varietal balance, and drinking readiness. Data-driven insights for the modern collector. ALSO INCLUDES • CellarTracker import — bring your existing collection in seconds • Barcode scanning for quick bottle lookup • CSV export for backup and analysis • iCloud sync across all your devices • Share your cellar with a partner via iCloud • Dark mode optimized — your labels look stunning • Works offline — no internet required for core features Built by Longevity Health Analytics.

Note: The optional AI scanning feature sends label images directly from the user’s device to the Anthropic API using the user’s own API key. This is a direct device-to-API call — no data passes through our servers. The user initiates each call explicitly by pressing “Scan.” This qualifies as “Data Not Collected” per Apple’s guidelines since the developer does not collect or have access to the data.

Apotheca answers the two questions everyone asks in front of a bottle. WHAT IS THIS WINE? Photograph the label. The camera reads it, the app searches 206,000 wines and fills in the whole record — producer, region, vintage, grapes, drinking window. You check it and you're done. WHAT SHOULD I OPEN TONIGHT? Name the dish — grilled steak, salt cod, mushroom risotto, sushi — and Apotheca points to the bottle in YOUR cellar that should be opened, and explains why. No cellar yet? It suggests three wines to look for on the restaurant's list. YOUR CELLAR, YOUR WAY • Cellar map: every bottle on the shelf and in the slot where it actually sits. • Drinking window: the app tells you when a wine is at its peak — and when it's going past. • Several cellars: the one at home, the one at the house in the country, the one at work. • History: what you've drunk, with your rating and the date. • Import from CellarTracker, Vivino, VinoCell or a spreadsheet. AMONG FRIENDS Create gatherings, invite the people you follow, and see the bottles each one is bringing — in the right serving order. Found wine clubs, follow what others are opening, talk about the bottles. YOUR CELLAR IS YOURS What you paid, your tasting notes and where each bottle sits never leave your device — not even to friends.
