Napkin started on an actual napkin. Three friends at dinner, trying to remember and rank every restaurant they'd ever been to together. That's the whole idea. A private journal for the meals you actually eat, and the friends you actually eat them with. SAVE EVERY SPOT YOU SEE Paste a TikTok, Instagram or Maps link and Napkin pulls the restaurant names out of it. Two taps and it's saved. No more screenshots you'll never open again. REMEMBER WHAT YOU ATE Rate it, write a line about what to order, add a photo. Months later you'll know exactly why you loved it. YOUR TASTE, NOT STRANGERS' STARS Napkin shows you your own rating first, then your friends'. A 4.2 from someone who eats like you beats a 4.7 from ten thousand people who don't. TABLES A Table is a small private group - three to eight people. Everyone's logs, everyone's saved spots, in one place. Private, always. Nothing in a Table is ever public. A MAP OF EVERYWHERE YOU'VE BEEN Every meal and every save, pinned. Free. No ads. ## Is Napkin safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Napkin. ## Is Napkin legit?

Add spots to a list straight from your logs or from place search. Pin a place from any Table share, including text-only shares and drop rows. Pin knows every place you've already pinned, and you can remove your own pin posts from the Feed. A place's "In lists" updates as soon as you change a list. Report a list that shouldn't be there. Fixes throughout, including a new pull-to-refresh. ### 1.0.6 — 2026-11-02 New accounts start on the Feed with a short tour, and setup now asks about notifications on its own step. A new Lists screen: switch between your lists and the ones you've saved, as a photo grid or a list. The Feed has a Lists tab with a List of the week. Pin every place on a list in one tap, or show a list on the Places map on top of your own pins. Give your Table its own cover photo, and send several pins to a Table at once or pass one on to another Table. Slide to rate, with real half stars, and take a photo straight from the logger. Reviews show the writer's photo, and tapping their name opens their profile. Paste several links at once, or share a note of places, and Napkin reads them all. When Google isn't sure which place a post means, you get a shortlist to pick from. Places a post warns against are marked. Better at reading videos, and search works on a single Chinese, Japanese or Korean character. Smaller pins on the map, and fixes throughout. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-11-01 A new look: the Napkin icon, a launch that writes the name in, and new sign-in screens. Tables can have their own icon and cover photo. Send a review or a pin you already posted to one of your Tables. Each Table keeps its own replies on a review. Pin a default Table so the Table tab opens on it. Lists, Letterboxd-style: save other people’s lists, make one your own, and see list stats. Find lists in the new LISTS tab in Feed. Recent activity on your profile shows the place’s picture and your own photos. Likes and replies now reach your inbox, and replies send a notification. Places: pick several friends at once under Friends and Overlap. Faster everywhere: screens open from a saved copy, and photos load as small versions. Search finds places in other cities, shows each place’s address and photo, and puts the closest name match first. The share card remembers your lists and Tables, and closes within 2 seconds of Add. A quick start card, a new Napkin guide, and practice runs for sharing from TikTok and Google Maps. Edit your own comments at any time. Fixes: opening hours now follow the restaurant’s local day, and Chinese, Japanese and Korean names no longer get cut off. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-31 A new look, starting with the app icon, a new welcome screen and a simpler sign-in. Imports are faster and find more places. Napkin now reads the video itself, finds places a post only describes, and reads Instagram reels while you stay in Instagram. Choose lists and Tables right on the share card, so a post goes straight where you want it. Set your usual picks once in Settings. Places Napkin is sure of are pinned straight away. Anything it isn't sure of waits on one Check card with photos, where you can open the original post, fix a place, or undo. Tables get a new card for planning a meal: everyone's seat, who's in, and after the meal everyone's ratings in one place. Plus invites on the Tables tab, On this day, and a Photos tab for every Table. Your Feed puts reviews first and folds a friend's pins into one line. Saved lists now show on your profile, the Lists screen is one page, and the Top 4 editor lets you drag to reorder. Pick your city right beside Places, Lists and People, and filter the map to one friend. Anyone can now reply to your public reviews. You can turn this off in Settings, and anyone you've blocked can't reply. Fixes across imports, Tables, invites and profiles. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-29 Notifications now show while Napkin is open, and you'll hear when someone follows you or invites you to a Table. New followers appear in your Notifications. Sharing a TikTok, Instagram or web link no longer asks for permission first. Imports find the right place more often, read Chinese and Japanese text on screen, and read the start of a video as well as the end. A place Google can't match is never saved without your check. The share practice now shows how to put Napkin in your share sheet's Favourites. Remove a photo from your own review. Autocorrect and capitals work again when you write a review. Fixes: the place picker takes your first tap, and buttons no longer cut off words at larger text sizes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
