Week one · we shipped July 4th
The doors are open.
Free bar inventory for the whole world — and we're just getting started
Thank you for being here in our first week.
If you're a first-timer reading this: hey, and welcome. We released Open Source Barware on July 4th — a free, self-contained bar inventory program that runs on your laptop. No subscription, no cloud, no AI required. We're in week one now.
It took roughly a hundred hours of coffee, late nights, and carefully brain-numbing work to get this thing off the ground — and I am immensely proud of it. I expect a few tiny glitches in the first week; that's just me being honest. Nothing major — everything works fine. So go kick it around and have fun. I'm on the fast fixes.
Coming this Friday — new build dropping
- ✓ Mobile counting experience
- ✓ Barcode scanning via camera
- ✓ Visual par alerts (green/yellow/red)
- ✓ Recipe & cocktail costing
- ✓ POS import (Toast, Square, CSV)
- ✓ Smart order suggestions
- ✓ Multi-venue switching & transfers
- ✓ Receiving workflow (PO → scan → verify)
Check back Friday for the next build — same download page, fresh features, zero cost.
Keep in touch for updates — we push new builds every few days. Come build it with us: star the repo and open issues on GitHub, and a Discord is on the way. There's a lot more coming.
This one's our gift to the industry. Go count something. ✨
