DramWise is the whiskey collection tracker built for real shelves: log ANY bottle by hand in about 30 seconds, keep tasting notes that respect the dram, and watch your collection's value add up. No account, no bottle caps, and your data is never hostage. LOG ANY BOTTLE - Manual-entry-first: store picks, single barrels, stopper letters, batch numbers, dusty finds. Nothing is ever "not in the database." - Label photos from your camera roll - Sealed, open, and finished states, with pour logging and fill levels TASTING NOTES, DONE RIGHT - Structured nose, palate, and finish fields with a 100-point score - Notes stay with their bottle, and your latest score badges the shelf YOUR COLLECTION, VALUED - Price paid and current value per bottle - A dashboard with total value, bottle counts, and a by-style breakdown - Tonight's pour: a picker that only ever suggests OPEN bottles, never your sealed collectibles FREE FOREVER - UNLIMITED bottle logging: no caps, ever, enforced in the app's code - Tasting notes, pour tracking, wishlist, search, sort, and filters - CSV export AND import, free: switching from another tracker takes one tap, and leaving is just as easy - The shelf widget DRAMWISE PRO - Collection analytics: value over time, paper gains vs what you paid, spend by style and distillery, drinking pace - Tasting-note search and stats - The full widget collection WHY COLLECTORS SWITCH TO DRAMWISE - No account and no sign-up. Your collection lives on your iPhone, with optional sync to your personal, private iCloud. We never see it. - No scanner roulette. Database-driven apps fail on exactly the bottles collectors care about; manual-first means DramWise never does. - Honest billing. Everything goes through the App Store: trials remind you before they convert, and cancelling takes two taps in iOS Settings. - An exit door, on purpose. Free CSV export means your collection is never held hostage. DramWise is a collection inventory and tasting journal. It does not sell alcohol or facilitate purchasing it. Please enjoy responsibly. DramWise Pro is an auto-renewing subscription; a one-time lifetime unlock is also offered. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Title, length, and price are shown on the purchase screen before you buy.

Whiskey Collection Tracker

Your whiskey shelf, finally organized the way collectors actually think. Log every bottle by proof, mash bill, distillery, age statement, and batch or barrel number — then track every pour until the fill level runs down. Private, offline, no feed, no marketplace. Whiskey Collection Tracker is a proper cabinet for anyone who has outgrown the spreadsheet: the home collector with a growing shelf, the hunter chasing allocated drops, and the pour-tracker who just wants to know what's open and how much is left. Bourbon, scotch, rye, single malt, Irish, or blends — if it's on your shelf, it belongs in here. CATALOG EVERY BOTTLE • Real whiskey fields: proof, mash bill, age statement, distillery, and batch or barrel number • Every type that fits the shelf — bourbon, rye, Tennessee, single malt, scotch, Irish, and blends • Autocomplete from a built-in reference of major distilleries and hundreds of common expressions • Record price paid, purchase date, storage location, and store-pick details • Add photos and personal notes to any bottle • Quick Add mode to catalog a whole haul in minutes TRACK EVERY POUR • Mark a bottle open and log each dram — the fill level drops as you sip • A five-second pour log for a neat, on the rocks, a cocktail, a tasting, or a share • See your open bottles at a glance the moment you open the app • Full pour history per bottle, so you remember the third pour versus the first TASTING NOTES THAT SOUND LIKE YOU • Write your own nose, palate, and finish, with a personal rating out of 10 • A built-in tasting guide that explains nose, palate, finish, proof, mash bill, age, single barrel, store picks, and bottled-in-bond SHELVES & HUNT LIST • Group bottles into shelves like Allocated, Daily Sippers, or Open Bottles • Keep a hunt list of the bottles you're chasing — with a target price, priority, and store notes for when you finally spot one in the wild COLLECTION STATS • Bottle count, total spend, average proof, open-bottle count, and shelf count at a glance • A spend-over-time chart showing how your cabinet's cost has grown, snapshot by snapshot • A clean by-type breakdown of your whole shelf • Every figure is based only on what you actually paid — never a guessed resale number PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your bottles, pours, and tasting notes live on your device. This is a personal collection tool — not a social network, not a marketplace. Nobody is trying to sell your own cabinet back to you, and nothing leaves your phone unless you export it yourself. MADE TO FIT YOUR SHELF • Light and dark theme, so the cabinet looks right morning or night • Available in 10 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese WHISKEY COLLECTION PRO A few extras for collectors who want more. Pro is an affordable monthly or yearly subscription: • AI tasting-note drafts, grounded on each bottle's own proof, mash bill, distillery, and age (you edit them and make them yours) • "What to open tonight?" — a pour suggestion by occasion, drawn only from your own open bottles • Advanced analytics: distillery breakdown, most-poured bottle, and a resting-too-long list (30+ days untouched) • Unlimited photos per bottle • Export your whole collection to CSV for your personal records • No ads, ever Cataloging bottles, logging pours, your hunt list, and manual tasting notes are free forever. Pro simply adds the AI assist and the deeper analytics. The AI drafts tasting notes only. It never estimates a bottle's monetary or resale value, and there is no buying or selling inside the app. Start your first shelf tonight — add a bottle, log a pour, and watch your collection take shape. For collectors 17+. Please drink and enjoy responsibly. Terms of Use https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy https://coddykit.com/terms/privacy-policy
