BiteCycle is a private food journal you keep with the people whose taste you trust. Log the dishes you love, map the places you have been, and share it all with a small circle of friends and family. No algorithms, no ads, no sponsored reviews. CAPTURE EVERY FIND Snap a photo, rate the dish, and add the details that make a recommendation worth trusting. Give one overall score on a ten-point scale, or break it down by taste, presentation, value, and experience. Add cuisine and dietary tags, a price, halal details, and a personal note. Save a place on its own to try later. SHARE WITH YOUR CIRCLE Create private circles for different groups and invite people with a simple code. Only the friends and family you choose ever see what you post. Chat in end-to-end encrypted group messages, plan events and RSVP, run polls to pick where to eat, and build shared food lists together. EXPLORE WHERE YOUR CIRCLE HAS BEEN Browse a map of every place your circle has logged, color-coded by cuisine. Filter by cuisine, circle, or minimum rating. Search dishes and places by cuisine and dietary tags to find exactly what you are after. DIETARY AND HALAL NOTES Tag dishes as halal, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, gluten-free, and more. Add halal details to a dish, including certification body, meat source, origin, and whether alcohol is served.
