Introducing Anilla 1.0
A private catalogue for collectors whose humidors are mostly Habanos. Here's what's in the first version, and what isn't yet.
Anilla 1.0 went to App Store review on 24 October 2026 and has been on the App Store since 7 November. It started with a cabinet of four floors and no system beyond memory, and it became the catalogue I wanted: one that understands Habanos box codes, counts how long each box has been resting, and keeps the records on your phone where they belong.
What's in 1.0
- Box codes. Type the stamp from under the box, like
EL ABR 19, or photograph it. Anilla reads the factory code and the packing month and year, and works out the box's age today. Photograph a whole shelf and every dated stamp it finds becomes a draft for you to confirm. - Ageing windows. Every box gets a window. The Cabinet shows what's resting, what's in its window and what comes into it in the next twelve months. Keep the default or set your own.
- Boxes and single cigars. Whole boxes and loose cigars in one catalogue; singles are counted and valued per cigar.
- Pictures. Every entry carries your own photo from the camera or your library, or an illustration until you add one.
- Humidors, shelf by shelf. Desktop humidors, cabinets, walk-ins, tupperdors and travel cases, each with its range. Log readings, see them charted and get an alert when one is out of range.
- Values with sources. Record what a box or a single is worth from an auction result, a listing, what you paid or your own estimate, and see totals per humidor and for the collection. Every figure is labelled as an estimate; Anilla never invents a price.
- An authenticity checklist. Ten checks per box, with hints for its era. It helps you look closely; it doesn't certify anything.
- Tasting notes by thirds, saved with the box's age on the day.
- Export and backup. CSV and JSON, any time. Restoring a backup adds what's missing and never overwrites.
What it costs
Anilla needs an Anilla Pro subscription: £39.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or £4.99 a month, with local prices in other countries. Two days before a free week ends, Anilla reminds you, so the trial never turns into a charge you didn't expect.
What isn't in it yet
- Band recognition. Pointing the camera at a band and having Anilla suggest the cigar is the next big piece of work.
- A full Habanos catalogue with each vitola's size and details, so entries fill themselves in.
- Sensor connections for Govee and SensorPush hygrometers.
- More languages: Español, Français, Deutsch and Türkçe.
- Android, with the same features, after iPhone.
Who it's for
Anilla is for adult collectors, aged 18 and over, who keep boxes for years and want to know what they own. It's a catalogue only: it doesn't sell, advertise or link to shops, and it isn't affiliated with Habanos S.A. or any brand.
It's on the App Store now: the link is on the home page, and the guides are a good place to start. Tell me what I got wrong at info@ogydigital.com.
