A Premium, Offline Cigar Humidor, Collection Tracker & Tasting Journal
Ashbook is a premium, local-first offline cigar humidor app and cigar inventory tracker for the serious aficionado. Catalog every stick, monitor each humidor's climate, track aging and "ready to smoke" timelines, and keep a structured tasting journal — all on a collection that lives on your phone, backs itself up automatically, and is one-tap exportable. There is no account and no server, so your sticks can never be silently wiped on an update, a new phone, or a login that fails.
What it does:
- Cigar inventory & collection tracker — brand, line, vitola, ring gauge, length, wrapper, country, quantity, price, where-bought, box code, and notes for every stick
- Humidor humidity tracker — RH/temp logging over time with drift alerts ("RH drifting below 62%") and Boveda reminders
- Cigar aging tracker — a Resting → Maturing → Prime → Past-prime timeline and a "ready this month" shelf
- Collection value tracker & insurance manifest — per-stick cost, total humidor value, and a dated PDF/CSV export
- Premium tasting journal — ratings, flavor-wheel tags, a palate profile, and rule-based pairing ideas
- Offline & local-first — no account, no cloud; your collection never leaves the phone and is never silently lost
Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
How It Works
📒 Always-Addable Catalog
The Add button is always present and full-featured. Boutique, Cuban, second-hand, and special-edition sticks are never rejected — add any cigar by hand in about ten seconds, with a band photo as an optional attachment, never a gate. The cigar inventory tracker and collection tracker the catalog apps should have been.
🌡️ Humidor Climate & RH-Drift Alerts
Most apps are just lists. Ashbook is a true cigar humidor tracker app: log RH and temperature over time, get drift alerts when a humidor slips below your target, keep Boveda recharge and re-season reminders, and watch a "don't over-pack" capacity gauge. A humidor humidity tracker that does the humidor's real job.
⏳ Aging & "Ready to Smoke"
Cigars improve with rest, so Ashbook surfaces it. Every stick gets a Resting → Maturing → Prime → Past-prime status from its rest date, plus a "ready this month" shelf — the cigar rest tracker and cigar aging tracker no one else builds.
💰 Collection Value & Insurance Manifest
Collectors spend real money. Track per-stick cost and total humidor value, then export a dated PDF/CSV manifest for insurance or estate planning. A cigar collection value tracker and price tracker in one.
✍️ Tasting Journal & Palate Profile
Rate and write up every smoke. Add flavor-wheel tags and let Ashbook build your palate profile ("you rate maduros 0.4★ higher") with rule-based pairing and occasion ideas. The premium cigar tasting journal and smoking log a collector deserves.
🔒 Private & Local-First
No account, no login, no cloud. Every cigar, humidor, climate log, tasting note, and photo lives in a local database on your phone, with automatic on-device backup and one-tap export/restore. Your collection never leaves the device — and backup is free for everyone, never paywalled.

Privacy First — Your Collection Stays on the Phone
Ashbook is built local-first. Here's exactly how it works:
- No account, no cloud, no server. You don't sign up or log in. There is no backend that receives your data — nothing to leak and nothing to fail on an update or a new phone.
- Your collection never leaves the device. Cigars, humidors, climate logs, tasting notes, photos, and value/manifest data are stored only in a local database (SQLite) on your phone.
- Permanence is the promise. Ashbook auto-backs-up on-device and gives you one-tap export/restore (JSON) that you save and share yourself. Backup is free for everyone — never a Pro upsell.
- Insights are deterministic and on-device. Drift status, aging status, palate profile, and pairings are rule-based on-device logic. There is no LLM, no AI model, no model download, and no network or key — identical input gives identical output.
- One billing helper. The only data that ever leaves your phone is purchase/subscription data, handled by Apple, Google, and RevenueCat to validate Ashbook+. They never receive your collection data.
