About
My Cocktail Journal is a personal, AI-assisted home for your cocktail recipes and bar inventory. Here's everything it can do.
Recipes
Browse, search, and tag your whole collection. Scale any recipe up or down with one tap, mark favorites, and print a clean copy for the bar.
Browse recipes →AI import
Paste text, attach a screenshot, or photograph a printed menu — Claude turns it into a structured recipe, filling in gaps like glass and garnish when a source is incomplete.
Import a recipe →Private recipes
Hide any recipe from public view with one toggle. It disappears from the homepage, search, and direct links for everyone but you.
Journal
Log every pour with a star rating, date, notes, and a photo of that particular drink. See how many times you've made something and your average rating.
Open journal →Menus
Curate recipes into shareable menus for a party or event, each with its own printable page and share link.
View menus →Bottle inventory
Track every bottle — producer, category, ABV, price, and a photo. Autocomplete fills in details instantly from a built-in catalog of common spirits.
Open inventory →Beer, kept separate
Beers get their own segregated section with matching autocomplete, AI detail lookup, and style/brewery fields — never mixed into the spirits list.
Add a beer →Photo scan
Snap a photo of your bar cart or fridge and Claude identifies every bottle or can at once — spirit or beer, with ABV — and flags what you already own.
Scan bottles →What you can make
The home and inventory pages automatically surface every recipe you can make right now, plus near-misses that are just one ingredient away.
Substitutions
Missing one ingredient for a near-miss recipe? Get AI-suggested substitutes drawn from what's already in your inventory.
Shopping list
Add a recipe's missing ingredients with one tap, or let Restock automatically queue up everything running low across bottles and beer.
Open shopping list →Search everything
One search bar across every recipe and every bottle or beer — a fast way to check whether you already have something before buying it again.
Search →Cart value
Once you start pricing bottles, the inventory page totals what your whole cart is worth automatically.
Undo anything
Deleting a recipe or bottle asks you to confirm, then gives a few seconds to undo before it's actually gone.
Dark mode & install
Toggle dark mode anytime, and install the app to your phone's home screen for quick, app-like access.
Private by default
Anyone can browse the public recipes. Only you, signed in, can add, edit, hide, or delete anything.
Export your data
Download your entire collection as data you own, anytime — no lock-in.
Export data →Bring your own API key
Swap in your own Claude API key from your profile, or leave it on the server's default — no redeploy needed either way.
