## What is Curate?

You went somewhere great six months ago. You remember the room, you remember one dish, and you cannot remember the name.

Curate is a journal for the meals worth remembering — and a way to find your next one through the people whose taste you actually trust.

KEEP THE RECORD
Log a visit with a rating, your notes, the dishes that stood out, and photos. Star the standouts, because a restaurant is really a short list of things worth ordering again. Everything stays organised by place, so returning somewhere means opening one page and seeing every visit you have made.

REMEMBER THE WHOLE TABLE
Tag the people you ate with. They add their own rating and their own standout dishes to the same visit, so the record reflects what everyone thought — not just your half of the meal.

A WISHLIST THAT REMEMBERS WHY
Save places you want to try, along with who recommended them. When a friend raves about somewhere, it goes on the list with their name attached, so months later you still know whose word you took.

SAVE FROM ANYWHERE
Found a place in an article, a map link, or a screenshot of a friend's message? Share it straight into Curate from any app and it identifies the restaurant and files it for you.

PICKS, NOT ALGORITHMS
The Picks tab answers one question: where should I eat, right now. It weighs the people you trust, how close a place is, how recently it came up, and what has actually been recommended to you — and it shows you why each suggestion is there.

SEE WHERE FRIENDS HAVE BEEN
Follow the people whose taste you trust and see their visits as they happen. Comment, save what looks good, and build a wishlist out of real recommendations instead of sponsored lists.

YOUR MAP
Every place you have logged, on one map. Filter by area and sort by distance to find the one you keep meaning to go back to.

SCAN THE RECEIPT
Point the camera at your receipt and Curate reads the dishes off it to fill in your visit. The scan runs entirely on your device — the image never leaves your phone.
