A home bar app for iPhone and iPad: 1000+ classic cocktail recipes grouped by spirit, step-by-step guided mixing, a tasting journal, and a bar that tells you what you can make.

What cocktails can I make with what I have?

Tick off the bottles and mixers you own in My Bar, and Sakaba lists every recipe you can make right now — plus the ones you’re one ingredient away from, with a shopping list for what’s missing.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — 80 classic recipes are free forever. Sakaba Plus ($1.99/mo, $14.99/yr, or $39.99 once) unlocks all 1000+.

Can I use ml or oz?

Yes — switch the whole app between ml and oz anytime in Settings. Amounts convert live, oz shown as clean bar fractions.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes. Sakaba runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later, and your bar and journal follow you between them through iCloud.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Every recipe and photo is built into the app, so it works without a connection; only iCloud sync needs one.

Is my data secure?

Yes. There’s no account and no tracking: your bar and journal stay on your device and sync privately through your own iCloud account via CloudKit.

What languages does Sakaba support?

10 languages, including dual-script display for classic cocktail names in non-Latin languages.

Is there an Android version?

No — Sakaba is made for iPhone and iPad only.

How do I cancel Sakaba Plus?

Monthly and annual plans renew through your Apple ID: cancel anytime in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Lifetime is a one-time purchase, so there’s nothing to cancel.
