Remember what you ordered - and avoid paying for the same disappointing dish twice. That unforgettable short rib from last spring: where was it, what was it called, and would you order it again? Restaurant Tracker helps you remember. Restaurant Tracker is a private dining journal for the restaurants you visit, the dishes and drinks you try, and the details that matter to you. No ads, account, subscription, public reviews, or social feed. Your dining history stays on your device, under your control. REMEMBER EVERY ORDER Add multiple visits to each restaurant. Record when you went, what you ordered, your notes, and whether you would order each dish or drink again: Yes, Maybe, or No. Mark standout items as favorites so they're easy to find before your next visit. MAKE YOUR RESTAURANT LIST YOUR OWN Save a restaurant's name, address, categories, notes, favorite status, and your own 1-5 star rating. Update the rating directly from the main Restaurants screen. Search restaurants, dishes, and notes. Browse places alphabetically, by your custom categories, or by city and state. Create categories such as Date Night, Family Favorites, Coffee Shops, or Vacation Dining, and expand or collapse them while organizing a place. PHOTOS, VIDEO, AND VOICE Add food photos and short videos from your camera or library. Play, save, share, or delete saved media. Tap the microphone to speak into supported text fields when typing would interrupt the meal. ADD THE DETAILS THAT MATTER Enter an address yourself or tap to use your current location. Keep city or town, state or province, and country organized, including for places you've already saved. Location is used when you request it, not in the background. KEEP YOUR RECORDS YOURS Your records are stored locally on your device. Create local backups and restore your collection when needed. Export a single restaurant or your full collection in PDF, Word, or text format. PDF and Word exports can include photos; videos are not included in these documents. Check storage usage in Settings, including photos, videos, thumbnails, and local backups. Find practical guidance in the in-app Help & FAQ for visits, dishes, categories, media, backups, exports, and more. SIMPLE, ONE-TIME PRICING Start free with your first 10 restaurants. A one-time $1.99 purchase unlocks unlimited restaurants. No subscription, renewal, or ads. Restore your purchase on your other Apple devices. Whether you're looking for the perfect taco, remembering an anniversary dinner, or building a list of places to take friends, Restaurant Tracker keeps the details close. Save the place. Remember the order. Choose better next time.
