Barcode scanner
Scan your shelf in minutes
Bulk scan mode
Open bulk scan mode and the camera stays active between scans. Scan a bottle, tap Add, and you're immediately scanning the next one. No closing and reopening the camera. Just scan, add, scan, add.
Under 1 second
Scan to confirm takes less than a second. Whisky Cabinet matches the barcode and shows you the bottle name and image for confirmation.
When there's no match
Save the barcode for later or skip it and keep scanning. The flow doesn't break. Saved barcodes match automatically when the bottle is added to the database.
Designed to get your collection digital, fast
30 bottles in minutes
For a shelf of 30 bottles, you're looking at a few minutes. Not the hour it would take to enter each one by hand.
Minimal entry required

Is Cabinet really free?
Yes — completely. No subscription, no premium tier, no feature gating. We earn a small affiliate commission when you click through to a retailer, which lets us keep the app free for everyone. We always show you the cheapest price, even when it's not a retailer we earn from.
