The Back Bar

Your home bar, inventoried and ready to pour.

Add something not on the list

For flavored rums, vodkas, liqueurs, or anything else specific to your bar. It'll show up above alongside everything else, and can be used in your own recipes and in barcode/photo matching.

Scan a bottle

Camera scanning needs the page loaded over https:// (or localhost). If you opened this file directly, use manual entry below instead — it works everywhere.

Manual barcode entry

Looking up a new barcode checks Barcode Lookup. Coverage for liquor bottles varies — if nothing usable turns up, we'll offer the photo option below.

Can't find it? Snap the label

Take a photo of the bottle's front label. We'll read the printed text right on your phone (nothing is uploaded for this step) and help you search the web to confirm what it is.

Or just add by name

Fastest way to build your inventory — no barcode needed.

Recipe library

Pulls from TheCocktailDB's free public database and matches ingredients to your tracked list — anything needing an ingredient we don't track (egg white, obscure liqueurs, etc.) is skipped rather than shown inaccurately. This uses their shared test key, which is fine for personal use like this.

Auto-built from recipes you've favorited or that are one or two ingredients away. Add anything else you need below.

Backup & restore

Your shelf is saved on this device only. Export a backup before switching phones.

Share my bar

Create a code of your shelf (stocked ingredients, custom ingredients, and your own recipes) to send someone else — text, email, whatever's easiest — for them to paste into their own copy of this app. This does not include your recipe library sync, favorites, or barcode scan history.
