Spirit Vault

Version History & Release Notes

Description

Spirit Vault keeps every cocktail you love in one place, and getting them there is easy: snap a photo, paste some text or share a link, and your recipe is ready to check and save. Keeping watch over it all is The Guide, a friendly ghost who appreciates a good drink and knows its way around a bar.

The first release of Spirit Vault, for iPhone and iPad.

What’s new

  • Bring in recipes from anywhere — snap a photo of a recipe card or book page, paste text, share a link, or scan the QR code on a Spirit Vault recipe card. Nothing is saved until you’ve checked it.
  • Start with the classics — search a catalog of 101 classic cocktails and add the ones you love, or write your own with ingredients, steps, glassware and garnish.
  • The Spirit Guide — mark a missing bottle to get swaps with adjusted amounts, see what you can make with what’s on your shelf, and save a swap as a variation.
  • Make it your way — scale servings, switch units, browse as a list, a deck of cards or a stack, sort by name, spirit, color or favorites, and make the text bigger.
  • Share a round — send a recipe as a card with a QR code, as text or as a Spirit Vault file, or share your whole vault.
  • iCloud sync — your vault syncs between your iPhone and iPad.
  • Private by design — The Spirit Guide and The Guide’s notes run entirely on your device.
Spirit Guide features that use Apple Intelligence need a supported device.
