AlcoLog v1.3.0 is out now for iPhone and Apple Watch. It adds a way to log the drink in front of you straight from the bar’s menu, teaches the app five new languages, and rebuilds the screen you use more than any other.
One thing to say up front: this release is iOS only for now. The Android update is expected on Google Play before the end of September, and we will post here the day it ships.
Update, September 2026: Android has since shipped. AlcoLog v1.3.1 is on Google Play for phone and Wear OS, and it carries this release with it, Menu Scanner included, so v1.3.0 is no longer iOS only. The v1.3.1 release post covers what changed.
# Scan the bar’s menu
Point your camera at the drinks menu, drag the box over the line you ordered, and tap Scan This. AlcoLog reads that drink’s name, the price this bar charges, and the strength and calories where the menu prints them, then fills in the form for you. Nothing is saved until you tap Use This Drink, and every value can be edited first. A photo of a menu on a screen works too.
It runs on Apple Vision, on your phone. Nothing is uploaded. Menu Scanner is a Premium feature, and it now sits with photo recognition and the barcode scanner behind a single camera button when you add a drink.
# Now in Spanish, French, Russian and Portuguese
AlcoLog is fully translated into Spanish, French, Russian, and both Brazilian and European Portuguese, in the app, in the widgets, and on Apple Watch. That makes seven languages with English and German. German got more complete too: the permission prompts, the Siri phrases, and the exported PDF report are all translated now.
# Add Drink in three steps
Adding a drink used to be one long list. It is now three clear steps on one screen: what you are drinking, how much, and when and where. Sizes open on your own region first, so the list is short enough to see all at once.
# 1,174 drinks and brands
The catalog now holds 1,174 named drinks and brands with ABV and calories pre-filled, 92 glass sizes that follow the region you are in, and 93 liqueurs. Port, Sherry and other fortified wines finally get proper small pour sizes.
# Medication tracking, easier to find
If you take naltrexone, acamprosate or another medication to help you drink less, AlcoLog can remind you when a dose is due and let you log it straight from the reminder. You can set it up the first time you open the app, or at any time from the home screen. The feature was always there; now it is where you can find it.
# A gentle check-in reminder
AlcoLog can send you an occasional reminder to check in, so tracking becomes a habit rather than a chore. Pick your own days and time under Alerts, or turn it off completely.
# Water syncs to Apple Health
Anything you log with the water button, soft drinks included, now counts toward your water intake in Apple Health, alongside your drinks and calories.
# Apple Watch, matched to your iPhone
Drinks on the Watch now show the same colors, icons and pour sizes as your iPhone, and the size list puts the sizes you actually use first.
# Live tracking that always counts
The tracking lines on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island now fill from the start of every session, whether or not you have set an alert. Without one, they count against a sensible default. With one set, they stop at your number and warn you as you get close.
# Fixes and polish
Editing a drink now saves a brand change and the drink list updates to match. Session history counts each kind of drink on its own. Barcode scanning only fills in a drink when the product genuinely matches the code, so you are never handed the wrong one. The app no longer reopens on a different screen than the one you left, and the first drink of a session keeps its location on its own.
# Android
This release is for iPhone and Apple Watch. The Android update is expected on Google Play before the end of September. Until then, the current Android version keeps working exactly as it does today, and we will post here when the update ships.
Update, September 2026: it shipped. The Android update reached Google Play before the end of September, and both platforms now run the same version.
As ever, everything stays private and on your device, with no account to create.
