Stop the dinner debate. You know the conversation. "Where do you want to eat?" "I don't know, where do YOU want to eat?" Twenty minutes later, you're still hungry and someone's annoyed. Chews fixes that. Pick a few food categories you're in the mood for — Mexican, sushi, BBQ, dessert, whatever — and spin the wheel. Real restaurants near you, randomly chosen. One tap, decision made, dinner happens. — What you can do — • Spin a wheel of real restaurants near you, filtered by category, distance, rating, price, and what's open right now • Swipe-to-decide mode if you want to vet options first • Save favorites and hide places you don't want to see again • Track where you've been with the "We Went!" history log • Skip recently-visited restaurants so the wheel keeps things fresh • Customize the wheel pointer and background animation • Haptics and confetti, because dinner should feel a little celebratory — What we don't do — No ads. No login. No tracking. No selling your data to anyone. Chews uses your location only to find restaurants. Everything else stays on your phone. — How we keep the lights on — Chews is free, and it stays free. If the app saves you from an hour of "I dunno, what do YOU want?" we have an optional tip jar in Settings — anywhere from $0.99 (a coffee) to $49.99 (you're a hero). It covers our server and API costs so we can keep things ad-free for everyone. No pressure. Every feature works without it. — About Chews — Chews is built by Dinnertime Labs LLC, a tiny indie team that got tired of the dinner debate. This is an early beta, so things will improve fast — and we love hearing from you. There's a "Send Feedback" button in Settings, or email info@dinnertimelabs.com. Hungry? Spin.
