You've photographed hundreds of meals. Could you name the restaurant behind ten? The dish? Who was at the table — or at the stove? Tastelog is a private diary of the meals worth remembering, out and at home. It starts by finding the meals already in your camera roll, and roasting you for them. GET ROASTED Tap Scan my photos and Tastelog goes through the last two years of your camera roll, reading the photos on your phone. It finds the meals, asks a few quick questions while it looks, makes you guess before the verdict — then hands down the roast: a poster with your title and the evidence, one tap from your group chat. Keep the meals, and each one lands in your diary with its place already guessed, waiting for your yes. IT KEEPS UP Took a photo of dinner? Next time you open the app it asks where it was — naming the place when it's sure — and the meal is kept in a tap. Answer once and it never asks about that meal again. Or log one by hand: tap +, or any empty day on the calendar. MORE THAN A RESTAURANT NAME The place is the least of a memory. Note what you ordered, who shared the table, and what the night was for — a birthday, a farewell, a first date you didn't know was one. Add as much or as little as a meal deserves. THE MEALS YOU MADE A Tuesday soup can mean more than a tasting menu. Every home meal is kept as a recipe card: what you made, who cooked, who you fed, what you'd tweak next time, and whether you'd make it again. No ingredient lists, no nutrition, ever. YOUR YEAR, ONE PAGE AT A TIME The diary opens on a calendar, every month filled with your own photos. Search it the way you remember: "that quiet pasta place" or "dinner with Mei" both work. And On This Day brings back meals you'd forgotten you loved. WHAT YOUR APPETITE ADDS UP TO Your taste, set in type: a card composed from your own meals — the dishes you order, the places you go back to, the person who has cooked for you most. No scores, no personality quiz. Just the facts your diary already holds, ready to share. TODAY'S TICKETS Open Today for three tickets: sometimes a place from your diary you said you'd go back to, and dishes worth trying, each with somewhere nearby to eat it. Save one for later, or reshuffle. Tell it what's off the table, and it never deals it. BETTER WITH FRIENDS Tag the friend across the table — or the one who cooked — and the memory lands in their diary too, where they can like it, write on it, and keep it. A gift, not a post. A KEEPSAKE, NOT A FEED No followers. No star ratings to perform. No calorie counting, ever. Your notes stay yours. Every place you've ever logged sits on one map that remembers what guidebooks can't: where you were happy. Your last thousand meals deserved better than a camera roll. Your next thousand start here. Tastelog — the meals worth remembering.
