The CellarTracker alternative built for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
CellarLog is the modern CellarTracker alternative for serious wine collectors who've outgrown the 2007-era web UI. Import your existing CSV in one tap, scan new bottles with AI, and pour at peak — all on Apple-native software with iCloud sync, no separate account, and a true one-time purchase option.
Download on the App StoreWhy move from CellarTracker to CellarLog?
CellarTracker has been a tireless companion to collectors since 2003 and remains the reference cellar database. But its strengths are also its limits: it was built for the desktop web, its mobile apps are afterthoughts, and the spreadsheet UI feels a generation behind everything else on your phone. CellarLog was built for the iPhone first — every interaction, animation, and gesture is native iOS, and the same data syncs to iPad and Apple Watch automatically through iCloud.
Apple-native experience
SwiftUI throughout. Pixel-perfect on iPhone Pro, iPad Pro, and Apple Watch Series.
AI label scanning
Point your camera at any bottle and our advanced multi-model AI identifies it instantly with drinking windows, tasting notes, and critic ratings.
Drinking-window alerts
Notifications when bottles enter their peak — never pour a great wine three years too early or three years too late.
Cellar map & rack layout
Take a photo of your wine rack and place each bottle visually. Tap to view details or assign empty slots.
Apple Watch app + complications
Your cellar, your wishlist, and tonight's pick on your wrist. CellarTracker doesn't ship a watch app.
NFC + Bluetooth label printing
Native, in-app NFC tag writing and direct Bluetooth printing to Niimbot label printers — not a third-party workflow.
Lifetime option
One $49.99 purchase unlocks everything. No annual subscription. CellarTracker doesn't offer this.
iCloud sync, no account
Your cellar lives on your devices and syncs through your personal iCloud — not on a third-party server.
Importing your CellarTracker library
If you've kept your collection in CellarTracker for years, you don't lose any of it. Export your cellar as CSV from CellarTracker's web dashboard, open CellarLog, and tap Settings → Import CSV. CellarLog parses your file, matches every row against any wines already in your cellar by UPC or by winery + name + vintage, and shows you a preview before anything writes:
Per-row status badges
Each row tagged NEW, UPDATE, UNCHANGED, or INVALID before any data is written.
Field-by-field diff
For updates, see exactly which fields change — old value beside new value — with per-row checkboxes to exclude any you don't want.
Excel-safe UPC matching
Excel strips leading zeros from UPCs; CellarLog matches both variants on re-import so you never get duplicate wines.
Re-import anytime
Pull in updated CellarTracker exports whenever you want. Existing wines update in place, new wines are added.
