A cocktail recipe keeper for people who keep losing cocktail recipes. Dashed turns the links and screenshots scattered across your phone into a clean, searchable library of cocktails you actually want to make. ----------------------------------------- HOW IT WORKS ----------------------------------------- 1. You find a cocktail somewhere — a blog post, a bartender's Instagram reel, tik tok, reddit, a recipe site. 2. You share the link to Dashed using the iOS share sheet. 3. Dashed reads the page, pulls out the recipe, and saves it to your private library. Ingredients with proper measurements. Instructions in order. Attribution to whoever wrote it down. 4. You can edit anything, add personal notes, group recipes into collections, mark what you've tried. ----------------------------------------- WHAT MAKES IT GOOD ----------------------------------------- - Smart import. Cocktail recipes in the wild are messy — embedded in long blog intros, buried in Instagram captions, sometimes just a photo of a menu. Dashed handles the mess. - My Bar. Tell Dashed what's on your shelf. Every recipe in your library gets a tag: you can make this one, you're missing two ingredients, or you're one substitution away. - Collections. Group recipes your way. Summer Drinks. Tiki Night. Things You Bookmarked Last December. Whatever taxonomy lives in your head, Dashed will hold. - Private by default. Your library lives on your phone. Dashed isn't a social network, doesn't republish your recipes, and never reads from your library to serve other users. - Honest about its limits. Sometimes an extraction comes out messy. You can edit it. Sometimes a brand isn't in our catalog. You can add it. ----------------------------------------- FREE & SUBSCRIPTION ----------------------------------------- Dashed is free to install and use. The free tier includes 30 recipes in your library and 30 bottles in your bar so you can really put the app through its paces. A Dashed subscription unlocks unlimited imports, server backup, plus features added throughout the subscription. Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage in your iPhone's Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. ----------------------------------------- WHO IT'S FOR ----------------------------------------- Home bartenders. Cocktail nerds. People who keep meaning to actually make that drink they saw on Instagram three months ago. Industry pros who want a personal reference library that isn't a Notes-app graveyard. ----------------------------------------- Built with care by Memento Amari LLC. Made for iOS 17+.
