Features

Your beer list, and only yours

Every beer you drink, with a score out of ten and as much as you feel like writing. A photo of the label if you want one, so you recognise it on the shelf.

Nobody sees it. There is no feed for it to appear in and no friends to notify.

Style, brewery, ABV, batch: you choose

Craft beer has more variables than most drinks, and which ones matter depends on what you drink. Add the fields you actually use: style, brewery, IBU, ABV, can date, batch, the bottle shop you found it in.

Save them once as a template and every new beer starts with them filled in.

No feed, no check-ins, no badges

This is the part that makes it different, so it's worth being blunt: there is no social layer at all. No check-ins, no badges to unlock, no venue map, no followers.

I left them out on purpose. A beer you enjoyed quietly is worth writing down for yourself, and a note you write for an audience is a different, less honest note.

Find the one you liked

Six months later you remember a hazy IPA that went well with something spicy, and nothing else. Search across everything you've saved, including the tags you made up yourself.

Aroma, brewery, occasion, the friend who brought it: if you wrote it once, you can find it.

FAQ

Does it have a database of beers?

Drinklytics doesn't have one. You type the name yourself, which is slower for the first entry and means there's nothing to look up, no ratings from strangers and no wrong matches to correct. If you want a database and community scores, Untappd has both and does them well.

Are there check-ins and badges?

No. The app has no social features of any kind: no feed, no followers, no venue check-ins, no badges.

Can I record the brewery, style and ABV?

Yes, as fields you add yourself. That also means you can add the ones I'd never have thought of: batch number, can date, dry-hop variety, the shop you bought it from.

Can I track beers I brew myself?

As tastings yes, as brews not today. There's no place for gravity readings, mash schedules or fermentation temperatures, so a dedicated brewing app will serve you better for the production side.

Can I record other drinks in the same app?

Yes, and most people do. Wine, whisky, coffee, tea, each with its own set of fields.

Do I need an account?

No. No sign-up, no email, no profile. The beers you save stay on your device.

Is it free?

Yes, free and with no subscriptions. I don't make money from it.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet, it's on the way. You can leave your email on the home page to hear about it once.
