Can't decide where to eat? Stop deciding - start eliminating. NotThat! turns "I don't know, where do YOU want to eat?" into an answer in under a minute. Instead of scrolling endless lists, you see two options at a time and knock out the one you don't want. Repeat until one is left standing. That's your pick. It starts with the hardest everyday decision - where to eat - using real restaurants near you. HOW IT WORKS - Two nearby restaurants go head to head, with photos and ratings - Keep the one you want, wave off the other - swipe, or tap to keep or pass - Repeat until one winner remains - Torn? Compare the two side by side before you choose DECIDE WITH FRIENDS Can't agree as a group? Start a session and send the join link, or read out the 6-character code. Everyone votes from their own phone in real time, rounds are timed, and the winner is a place you all actually landed on together - no more group-chat paralysis. REAL LOCAL FOOD - Real restaurants near you, from live map data - Narrow it down by what you're craving, plus price and distance - Tap the winner for its address, hours, phone, and directions KEEP WHAT YOU LOVE - Save favorites and battle them head to head anytime - "Never show again" hides a place you're done with - Winner history answers "where was that spot last week?" NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Open it and go - no sign-up. Sign in with Apple only if you want your favorites and history synced across devices. No ads, and we don't sell your data. Built to settle more than dinner - restaurants first, more decisions to come. Dinner tonight: decided.
