The Cocktail Shaker: A Cocktail Recipe App with a Daily Pour

-
The Cocktail Shaker, a free cocktail recipe app for Android

Everyone has that one friend who can make a proper drink — the right glass, the right measures, a garnish that isn’t an afterthought. The Cocktail Shaker is a free Android app that turns you into that friend: a new cocktail to discover every day, hundreds of recipes done properly, and a growing record of everything you’ve made.

A new cocktail every day

Open the app to a fresh cocktail each day — a classic you’ve been meaning to try, or something you’ve never heard of. It’s a small daily nudge to shake up something new instead of pouring the same old thing.

Recipes done properly

Every recipe comes with exact measures, clear step-by-step instructions, and the details that actually matter — the right glassware, the correct garnish, and the little techniques that separate a good drink from a great one. Hundreds of them, from timeless classics to modern favourites.

Learn as you pour

The Cocktail Shaker isn’t just a recipe list. Dig into the spirits behind your drinks — their history and flavour — and test your knowledge with quick bartending quizzes. Work your way up from curious beginner to a genuinely expert bar keep.

Build your home bar

Save the drinks you love, rate the ones you’ve tried, and log what you’ve made with a photo of your handiwork. Over time you build a personal record of your home bar — and plenty worth sharing with friends.

Introducing Horizon Software

-
Horizon Software is a small, independent studio in New Zealand. We make little Android apps — the kind that do one thing, do it well, and then get out of your way. This is the first post on our new home, so it feels right to start with what we’re about. Small on purpose There’s a certain kind of app we love: the one that opens fast, shows you exactly what you came for, and doesn’t try to become your whole day. A picture from space. A moment from history. A quick quiz on the bus. Our apps are deliberately small — each one built around a single, clear idea. We’d rather make a handful of things that are genuinely good at one job than one thing that’s mediocre at everything. Free — and staying that way Every app we publish is free to download and free to use — no paywalls, no subscriptions, no features held hostage behind your credit card. A good little app should just work, for everyone. To keep it free, our apps carry a littl...

“Are we there yet?” has finally met its match. Street Cricket is a free Android game that turns any car journey into a game of cricket — no pitch, no bat, no gear, just your phone and the open road. Cricket for the car — no pitch required All the fun of a backyard game, none of the setup. Street Cricket takes the spirit of street and beach cricket and packs it into your phone, so a long drive or a boring wait suddenly has a game hiding inside it. Simple rules, genuinely fun The rules are quick to pick up and easy to teach, so nobody’s left reading an instruction manual while the fun happens without them. Within a minute everyone’s playing — and, usually, arguing good-naturedly about the score. Made for road trips and waiting rooms Street Cricket is built for exactly those in-between moments: the motorway stretch, the airport gate, the doctor’s waiting room, the queue that will not move. Whenever you need to turn dead time into so...

Every day on the calendar is the anniversary of something remarkable — a battle won, an invention unveiled, a song recorded, or someone born who would go on to change the world. Today This Day is a free Android app that hands you that story every morning: a quick, friendly look at what happened on this day in history , plus an easy way to explore any date you’re curious about.

On 17 December 1903, the Wright brothers made the first powered flight. On 18 July 1918, Nelson Mandela was born. “On this day in history” is simply that idea tied to today’s date — the notable events, famous births and world firsts that share an anniversary with the day you’re living right now.
