Pour Judgment
Your bar, and what it can make
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Now on iPad, the book open flat: your shelf on the left, the drink on the right. Scan your bottles, tick the pantry, and see what you can make tonight.
Pour Judgment is a home bar that knows what it can make.
Tell it what is on the shelf by scanning a barcode, photographing a label, searching by name, writing a bottle in, or importing a spreadsheet. Tick the mixers, juices, fruit and garnish you actually have. Then ask.
WHAT CAN I MAKE TONIGHT
The whole of TheCocktailDB, about six hundred drinks, lives on your device and is scored against your shelf. See recipes you can make, what each is one ingredient short of, and which of your bottles would pour for every line. Matching knows its styles: a bourbon answers for bourbon, a Laphroaig does not, and prosecco is never a Manhattan's vermouth.
ONE DRINK FOR THE MOOD
Tonight picks a single drink for how you feel — easy, refreshing, strong, impressive, surprise me — and says why. It only picks what your shelf can make right now, drinks you have rated highly rise, and the reason is always true: it never claims a mood the drink hasn't earned. Choosing a mood involves no AI; the pick is worked out on your device. The house recommends; say "not tonight" and it tries again.
THE BOTTLE TO BUY NEXT
Buy Next counts how many drinks every missing bottle would unlock and names the winner. Bottles you have finished are marked to restock. Share the list on the way to the shop.
A CELLAR YOU CAN READ
Browse a ruled ledger or a wall of label cards. Track how full each bottle is, rate what you pour, and read your verdicts back by month.
ON IPAD, THE BOOK OPEN FLAT
On an iPad the shelf runs down the left and whatever you have chosen — a bottle, a recipe, tonight's verdict — is on the right. Upright, landscape, Split View and Slide Over all work; ⌘1–4 switch tabs on a keyboard.
YOUR OWN RECIPES
Bookmark a drink or write your own. Both are scored like the book and can be tonight's recommendation.
OPTIONAL IDEAS BEYOND THE BOOK
Apple's on-device model can answer a typed mood or a substitution question where available. For drinks beyond the built-in book, optionally use your own Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini key. Every answer is checked against your actual shelf.
YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE
No account, no server, no analytics, no ads, no sync. Your cellar is stored on the device you scanned it with and nowhere else. Export it as a spreadsheet, and your recipes and pours as an archive, whenever you like. Most barcodes are checked first against a catalogue on the device; misses and name searches go to Open Food Facts. Nothing about you or your shelf leaves the device unless you enter your own key and tap.
FREE TO CATALOGUE, ONE PURCHASE FOR A FULL BAR
The free shelf holds eight bottles and three recipes of your own. Scanning, label reading, name search, Tonight, suggestions, pour history and both exports stay free. Full Bar is one purchase — no subscription — that lifts the two limits and adds spreadsheet import and Buy Next.
Recipes and photos are from TheCocktailDB. Claude is a product of Anthropic, ChatGPT of OpenAI and Gemini of Google. Each is used only with your own key, and none is required.
Ratings & Reviews
Pour Judgment now uses the whole screen on iPhone Duo, folded or open.
Buy Next finds more drinks you're one bottle short of when you ask an AI engine. One of them now takes a little longer to think it over, and says so while you wait.
