How to track a home bar inventory without an account

Short answer: use an offline shelf app where you type any bottle name, track the fill level, and export a backup file yourself. No login, no scanning, no database match required.

Why many collection apps get in the way

Common complaints: "Can't use the app without making an account", label scans that do not recognise the bottle, and "too many rules as to what you can actually put in the app" for what is on your actual shelf.

A simple setup

1. Add every bottle with name and type only (whisky, wine, sake, beer, makgeolli...).
2. Set the fill level; slide it down as you pour.
3. Add price and where you bought it to see total spent in stats.
4. Mark empties instead of deleting to keep their notes.
5. Export a JSON backup now and then.

How Pourshelf does it

• No account and no server; data stays on your phone.
• Any name is accepted, including your infinity bottle.
• Stats: bottles by type, average score, total spent, top five.
• Widget with bottle count and your last pour.

Do I need an account to track my liquor collection?

No. Pourshelf stores your shelf on the phone with no sign-up; back it up with a JSON export.

How do I add 100+ bottles quickly?

Add each with just name and type; fill in details later when you pour it.

Can I track how much is left in a bottle?

Yes. Each bottle has a fill level you slide down as you pour.
