Is there a whisky collection tracker with no subscription and no account?
Last updated: 27 September 2026
Yes. Caskrow is a whisky and spirits collection tracker with no subscription and no Caskrow account. You can keep up to 15 active bottles free without a time limit. A one-time Pro purchase removes the active bottle limit. Backup, restore and CSV import and export are included in the free tier.
The useful question is what happens to your collection after you have entered it. Check how an app stores records, how you can recover them and which features require payment before moving your whole inventory.
What to check before choosing a tracker
Start with the free limit. Find out whether it counts every bottle you have ever recorded or only bottles still in your collection. A bottle that has been finished or gifted is part of your history, even though it is no longer on the shelf.
Check whether free access expires. A permanent free tier gives you time to try the recordkeeping process with a small collection. A timed trial can be useful too, but it asks you to make a purchasing decision on a different schedule.
Look at the purchase model separately from the account model. An app can have no subscription while still requiring an account. Equally, no account does not mean that all features are free. Read what the paid unlock adds and check the price shown by your store before buying.
Try export and backup while you are evaluating the app. CSV is useful for opening inventory data in a spreadsheet. A backup serves a different purpose: restoring the app's collection records. Check each option rather than assuming one file handles everything.
Finally, decide how you want to use multiple devices. Automatic cloud sync and manual backup transfer are different workflows. If you want every change to appear on every device immediately, choose a tool that explicitly supports that behavior.
How Caskrow does it
Caskrow's free tier covers 15 active bottles, including sealed and open bottles. Finished, sold, gifted, traded and lost bottles stay in the history without using active slots. The free tier does not expire, and Pro is a one-time purchase rather than a recurring subscription.
The bottle catalog keeps photos, release details, purchase records and storage location together. You can add tasting notes, record fill changes and keep a wishlist. The same catalog supports other spirits, including bourbon, rye, rum, gin, tequila and brandy.
Pro removes the active bottle limit and adds collection trends, category insights, extra photos and documents, and a valuation PDF with bottle photos. Values come from your own dated entries. The PDF presents that information; it does not independently appraise your collection or guarantee an insurer will accept it.
There is no Caskrow account or public collection feed. Bottle records stay on the device unless you choose backup or export. Crash and performance diagnostics are enabled by default; you can turn them off in More > Diagnostics. Purchases use the store's billing services.
There is no automatic cloud sync. Moving a backup file and restoring it is a manual transfer. Free PIN or device biometric app lock helps keep your collection private on the device.
