Home/Hands-Free Bar Inventory
New in Lixor

Count your bar without touching your phone.

AirPods in. Phone in your pocket. Lixor reads out every bottle on your shelf, you say the level, and it counts as you walk.

Both hands stay on the bottles — where they were always supposed to be.

Hear the real thing

This is the actual voice and the actual listen cue from the app — the sound of a count, in your ears.

Lixor’s voice and the listen cue are the real audio from the app. The bartender’s replies are a stand-in.

How it works

Four steps, and only the first two need your hands.

01

Put your AirPods in

Any Bluetooth headphones work. So does the phone speaker — headphones just keep it quiet and let you pocket the phone.

02

Say “Hey Siri, start my Lixor inventory”

Or name the area outright: “Start my Whiskey inventory in Lixor.” The count opens straight into hands-free.

03

Put the phone in your pocket

On iPhone the count keeps running with the screen locked and the phone out of sight. You never take it out again.

04

Walk your bar and talk

Lixor names each bottle in shelf order. You say the level. It repeats what it heard and moves to the next one.

A scanner can’t count what’s left in the bottle

Your money isn’t sitting in the sealed bottles. It’s in the open ones.

Say it the way you see it

A bottle is two thirds gone. You say “point three.” A gin you keep two of, one open and half down, is “one point five.” Lixor takes the number the way a bartender actually says it — no tapping a slider, no typing a decimal.

“Point six.”
“One point five.”
“Two point five.”
“Two bottles.”

Both hands on the bottles

Every other way of counting takes a hand away from the shelf. A clipboard takes one. A scanner takes one. A phone takes one — and your eyes with it. Hands-free takes nothing. You lift, you face the label, you say the number, you move on.

In our own testing, a 254-bottle count ran end to end in 23 minutes with the phone locked in a pocket the whole time — roughly five seconds a bottle.

What you can say

You never touch the screen, so these are the whole interface.

“Point six.” · “One point five.” · “Two bottles.”Record a level. Partial pours, whole bottles, or both.
“Skip” / “Next”Move on without counting this one.
“Previous” / “Back”Go back to the bottle before.
“Repeat”Say the bottle name again.
“Jump to Hendrick’s”Go straight to any bottle by name. (iPhone)
“Pause” … “Continue”Stop the count and pick it back up.
“Finish”End the count and save it.

iPhone and Android

Hands-free counting works on both. A few things are iPhone-only today, and we’d rather tell you than let you find out on inventory night.

Feature iPhone Android
Count by voice, hands free
Natural human voice reads your bottles
Keeps counting with the screen locked, phone in your pocket
Start it with Siri
Jump to any bottle by name
Picks up where it left off after a phone call

On Android, hands-free runs while the app is open on screen. Locking the phone stops the count, so keep it awake in front of you. Locked-screen Android is on the roadmap.

Questions

No. Hands-free works on the phone speaker too. Headphones are what let you put the phone away entirely and keep the count quiet in a room full of people, so we recommend them — but any Bluetooth headset works, and none is required.

On iPhone, yes. The count keeps running with the screen off and the phone pocketed, and it saves as you go. On Android, hands-free currently runs only while the app is open on screen — locking the phone will stop the count. Locked-screen Android is on our roadmap.

Levels the way you would say them out loud: “point six,” “one point five,” “two point five,” or “two bottles.” Plus the commands: skip, next, previous, back, repeat, pause, continue, finish. On iPhone you can also jump straight to any bottle by name.

Yes. In a team count, each person takes a section and counts hands-free at the same time. Everyone hears their own bottles, and bottles a teammate has already counted are skipped automatically.

On iPhone, take the call. When you hang up, Lixor says “welcome back,” re-announces the bottle you were on, and the count carries on from there.

No. Hands-free needs a connection — speech recognition and saving each count both go over the network. A basement wine cellar with no signal will not work today.

No. It is included on every plan, including the free trial. There is no hands-free add-on and no extra fee.
