Welcome to InVintory
InVintory catalogues every bottle you own, tells you which ones are ready to drink, tracks what they are worth, and maps where each bottle physically sits. This article is the map of the app: what to do first, and where everything lives.
One account, three places to use it
Section titled “One account, three places to use it”You sign in to the same account and the same collection everywhere. A bottle you add on your phone is on your laptop by the time you open it, so there is no “main” device to pick and nothing to sync by hand.
- iPhone and iPad — the complete app. This article describes it.
- Android — in early access, with an InVintory Android Early Access banner and a Report bug button at the top of the home screen. Some features reach iPhone first, so a few things you read about here may not be on Android yet.
- The web app at app.invintory.com — the same collection on a big screen. Best for importing a spreadsheet, editing a lot of bottles at once, and reading analytics.
Your first three steps
Section titled “Your first three steps”While your collection is empty, the home screen leads with a Get started card holding the four ways in. It disappears once your first bottle lands.
Home → Get started → Add bottles · Import from CellarTracker · Import from Vivino · Upload a spreadsheet- Name your cellars and fridges first. Imports file bottles into storages by name, so creating them before you import saves rework later.
- Get the bottles in. Search our database, scan a label with the camera, or import from CellarTracker, Vivino or a spreadsheet. Reviewing or cancelling an import is on the web app, at app.invintory.com.
- Ask Vincent something. Vincent is the AI sommelier, and he works from your actual bottles — “what should I drink tonight”, “what pairs with steak”. He does more than answer: he can add, remove and update bottles for you when you ask. Meet Vincent, your AI wine assistant introduces him properly.
The home screen
Section titled “The home screen”Your collection name sits in the top left, with a badge showing its plan — tap it to switch collection. Top right are the Notifications bell and your profile photo, which opens My profile & reviews, Customize home, the Help Center and Settings, where Collection settings and Account settings live.
Below the search bar are your headline figures — Bottles and Market value. Tap ⋯ beside Market value to hide your values from view, or to read where the number comes from. Vincent is not on this screen: on iPhone the Ask Vincent bar is part of the tab bar, not the home screen.
Everything below that is yours to arrange
Section titled “Everything below that is yours to arrange”The rest of the home screen is nine sections you can reorder or switch off from Customize home: Quick filters, Cellars & fridges, Ready to drink, Deliveries, Saved Lists, Past Bottles, Recent Activity, Analytics, and Plans and tips.
Two are worth finding on day one. Cellars & fridges shows a card per storage with its bottle count and open slots — tap one to open it, or to build its sections and view them in 3D. Ready to drink lists every bottle currently inside its drinking window, which is the section most people end up opening the most.
The tabs, and the scan button
Section titled “The tabs, and the scan button”On iPhone with iOS 26 or later, four tabs run along the bottom, with the Ask Vincent bar above them and a round camera button beside them.
| Tab | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Home | The dashboard above — stats, storages, and everything you chose to keep |
| Collection | Every bottle you own, searchable and filterable by storage, tag, drink status and more — with Current, Transit and Past tabs for what you hold, what is on its way and what you have removed |
| Explore | The vintage guides by region, and what other InVintory members are drinking and what they thought of it |
| More | Tiles for everything else you can start: adding and removing bottles, scanning a receipt, purchases, reviews, lists, menus and CellarStickers |
Your own reviews, your settings and your subscription are behind your profile photo at the top of Home. On iPhone with an older iOS, they are on a Profile tab in place of More.
The scan button and More
Section titled “The scan button and More”The camera button opens the scanner, ready to photograph a label. The More tab holds Add, Remove, Scan receipt, Create purchase, Purchases, Create review, Create list, Create menu and Tap CellarSticker. Tap Edit, or press and hold any tile until the tiles wiggle, drag them where you want them, then tap Done.
Android 1.7.0 and later arranges this the same way: five tabs — Home, Collection, a camera button in the middle, Reviews and More. The web app puts the equivalent list down the left-hand side.
