Does Cellarune store my cellar on its backend?
No. Your cellar is stored on your device and, when available, privately
synced through Apple CloudKit under your iCloud account. Cellarune's Firebase
backend does not store your cellar.
Why do I need a Cellarune Account?
Sign in with Apple and Firebase Authentication protect managed AI requests,
smart-feature quotas, abuse prevention, and account deletion. Premium purchase,
Restore Purchases, unlimited bottle storage, and Premium import work without a
Cellarune Account. This account is separate from the iCloud account that owns
your Cellar Data.
Why has a recent change not reached my other iPhone, or why does sync need attention?
iOS schedules Cellar Data synchronization automatically. Cellarune has no manual
Sync Now command because it cannot force CloudKit to run immediately. Recent changes
may take several minutes to reach another device.
- Confirm both iPhones use the same iCloud account and that iCloud is available.
- Keep Cellarune open on the device with complete data and use a stable connection.
- After waiting, close and reopen Cellarune once if the change is still missing. This does not force sync.
-
Compare bottle counts and placements. If they still differ or Sync needs attention remains,
make a verified CSV backup from the device with complete data.
-
Open Review Sync Status, copy the diagnostics, and
email Cellarune Support.
- Do not reinstall or use Start Fresh unless another complete copy of the cellar is safe.
Check iCloud Account verifies account access only; it does not force sync. Signing
out of a Cellarune Account does not repair iCloud sync because Cellarune Account
access and the iCloud account that owns Cellar Data are separate.
What is sent when I use a smart feature?
After you give Third-Party AI Permission, Smart Scan sends Label Photos and
bottle format through Cellarune's authenticated Firebase backend to Google
Gemini. A Drinking Window Update sends Wine Name, Producer, vintage, origin,
varietals, wine type, and format. Processing may occur outside Thailand.
Cellarune does not include your Cellarune Account identifier in the Gemini
request and does not claim Zero Data Retention. You may refuse or withdraw
permission without changing Product Analytics consent. See the
Privacy Notice for details.
What do Free and Premium include?
Free includes 25 active bottles; consumed history does not count. It also
includes ten lifetime Smart Scan Attempts. Premium is ฿99/month or
฿799/year, auto-renewing with no trial, and includes unlimited active
bottles plus 50 AI analyses per UTC day and 100 per UTC month shared by
Smart Scans and Drinking Window Updates. Purchase and Restore Purchases work
without a Cellarune Account; managed AI requires sign-in.
How does optional product analytics work?
Product analytics is off by default. If you explicitly enable it in
Settings, Cellarune sends coarse feature-use events without wine names, notes,
photos, prices, cellar contents, or email addresses. You can disable it
again at any time.
How do I restore or cancel a subscription?
Restore access from the Premium screen in Cellarune without creating a
Cellarune Account. Manage or cancel the subscription through your Apple App
Store account settings.
Can AI advice guarantee wine quality or safety?
No. AI output is informational and may be inaccurate. Inspect bottles and
storage conditions yourself, follow applicable food and alcohol safety
guidance, and drink responsibly.
