HeadBartender
Your smart home cocktail bar
$4.99
648 cocktails, 260 ingredients, and barcode scanning that works entirely offline. One-time $4.99 — now on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
HeadBartender turns your home bar into an intelligent system. Add the bottles you own and the app immediately tells you what you can make right now, what you're one ingredient away from, and which single purchase would unlock the most new cocktails.
FIVE TABS
MY BAR — Your inventory. Scan a bottle's barcode, search by name, or add manually. Track levels (full to nearly empty) so your match results stay accurate. Multiple bars supported.
MAKE — Every cocktail ranked by how achievable it is with what you own:
• Make Now — you have everything. Pour it tonight.
• Almost There — one ingredient short. See what's missing.
• Explore — two or more away. Good for planning.
Search a single ingredient, or list several ("scotch, dry vermouth") to find cocktails that use them all. Filter by flavor, occasion, complexity, origin, glass type, or holiday. Tap any cocktail for the full recipe — ingredients with measurements in oz and ml, technique, glassware, garnish, and a historical note.
ORDER — A shopping list ranked by value: which missing bottle unlocks the most new cocktails. Buy smarter, not bigger.
HISTORY — A journal of everything you've made: ratings, tasting notes, photos. Mark favorites and let personalized recommendations learn your palate.
LEARN — Glassware guide, mixing techniques, bartending vocabulary, and the establishment settings.
THE DETAILS
• 648 cocktails across nine regions, including 47 non-alcoholic
• 260 real ingredients
• 2,089 bottle barcodes built in — scanning works with no network, because the database ships inside the app
• Private by design — your inventory, drink history, notes, and photos are stored on your device. No account, no cloud sync, no analytics, no tracking.
• Works offline — every core feature works without a connection. If a bottle isn't in the barcode database, you enter it by hand; nothing is transmitted.
• Multi-bar support for home, cabin, and the boat
