## What is Dim Hour?

Dim Hour is a curated restaurant discovery app for people who actually care about where they eat. No sponsored placements. No ads. No user-generated noise. Just the restaurants worth knowing about — sourced from Michelin, James Beard, Eater, The Infatuation, and Bon Appétit — organized in a clean, editorial interface designed for quick decisions and serious dining.

BUILT FOR FIFA WORLD CUP 2026
Dim Hour covers host cities across all three countries — New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Seattle, San Francisco, Toronto, and Mexico City among them. Whether you're flying in for the group stage or the final, open Dim Hour and instantly know where to eat. No research required.

20 CITIES. ZERO FILLER.
Every restaurant in Dim Hour has been vetted against major editorial sources. Current cities: New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Austin, Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas, Seattle, San Francisco, Charlotte, San Diego, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, Washington DC, Nashville, New Orleans, Toronto, and Mexico City. Each city includes neighborhood-level guides so you can eat well no matter which part of town you're in.

• Reservation Links — One tap to book via Resy, Tock, or OpenTable. No copying and pasting restaurant names into other apps.

DESIGN THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME
Dim Hour uses a light, editorial interface with gold accents, serif typography, and card-based layouts designed for speed. A dark mode is one tap away whenever you want it. Every screen is built for one-handed use on a phone. No clutter, no pop-ups, no sign-up walls.

FREE. NO ADS. NO CATCH.
Dim Hour is completely free. There are no ads, no sponsored listings, and no paid placements. Every recommendation is editorial.

Whether you're a local who's tired of mediocre suggestions or a traveler who refuses to waste a meal — Dim Hour is the dining guide you've been looking for.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.17 — 2026-08-24

Dim Hour is light now. The whole app was rebuilt around a light interface with the same gold accents, so it reads properly in daylight, on a plane, or across a dim restaurant table. Prefer the old look? Dark is still there as a toggle — it just isn't forced on you after sunset anymore.

Back and Forward now move between tabs, so leaving a venue returns you where you were instead of dumping you at the top of the app.

Restaurants with more than one location finally say so: 677 venues across 282 groups now show their sibling locations on the card.

Places that don't take reservations tell you what to do instead. A real walk-in module replaces the Book button, and the booking answer moved up next to the photo. That also fixed a bug where a walk-in door policy was silently deleting the Book button on 641 cards.

Sign in with Apple is verified working, and Continue with Google joins it.

New in this release: 325 restaurants across 19 cities, a Fort Worth section in the Dallas guide, and 71 duplicate listings quarantined so a place appears once.

Better data on cards you already had: hundreds more venues list real hours and phone numbers read off their own sites, roughly 250 Instagram links now point at the right account, 473 out-of-region phone numbers were caught and checked, and 68 venues list real dishes and cocktails taken from their actual menus.

Fixes you'll notice: maps that rendered as an empty box, the photo carousel sticking on iOS, the mobile date picker, pressing Enter doing nothing anywhere in the app, venues with a dead photo showing an empty frame, finished events listed under "Upcoming," the concierge button with no label, 112 dead pins in Atlas, 42 cards hiding their score, and links from outside the app opening Dim Hour but dropping the page you actually tapped.

### 1.16 — 2026-08-12

Booking got real. Tap Book on a venue and pick your date, time and party size — we hand OpenTable and Resy the details so you land on the right page with your table already set up. We also repaired around 550 reservation links that led nowhere and fixed 382 venues whose button said one platform but opened another. Trips are social now: share a code and anyone who joins lands in the same trip you're in, with a group chat on the card. Over 600 venue cards that were rendering with no image at all now show their photo, and we replaced hundreds more with the venue's own photography. Every card carries better data — 1,900 more venues list their hours, 1,240 more have working reservation links, and around 1,000 more link straight to their menu, plus 204 new spots and duplicate listings merged. Fixes you'll notice: translucent panels that rendered as flat grey blocks on iOS 17 and earlier, pinch-to-zoom working everywhere again, venues with no rating no longer showing five stars, search photos no longer cropped on both sides, the "Where have you been?" list no longer capped at 150 spots, and share cards and PDF exports rebuilt to work at any number of spots.

### 1.15 — 2026-07-21

Thousands more of the restaurants people are actually talking about.

We expanded our Viral picks across all 20 cities, so the spots trending
with local food writers and creators now surface everywhere we cover —
not just in a handful of metros.

We also went through the major restaurant groups in every city and
corrected venue details that were out of date, including a few listings
that had drifted onto the wrong location.

### 1.13 — 2026-07-15

Faster, smoother, and easier to explore:

- Dramatically faster launch. The app now opens in a moment instead of hanging on a loading screen.
- Fixed a bug where the map could stay blank or never finish loading.
- We no longer ask for notification permission the first time you open the app. You can turn notifications on anytime from your Profile.
- A refreshed app icon and launch screen.
- Improved text legibility and contrast throughout.
- Hundreds of new venues, more signature dishes, and updated details across cities.
- Various bug fixes and reliability improvements.

### 1.12 — 2026-07-10

This update makes Dim Hour feel faster and more at home on iPhone, and adds a lot more to explore.

- Smoother, more native feel: no more accidental page reloads when you pull down, the keyboard dismisses with a tap, and buttons respond instantly.
- Neighborhood guides: every neighborhood now opens with a short editorial description of what the area is known for.
- Redesigned home screen and cleaner maps, with richer restaurant rows (score, distance, and why it matches you).
- Better Plans: a unified calendar, one-tap "log a visit," and reservations that show the venue photo and let you edit them.
- A bigger, better catalog: more restaurants across every city, sharper photos, corrected neighborhoods, and verified Michelin and James Beard awards.
