Save a restaurant the moment you find one, then remember why you loved it. FlavorTrail is a food diary and a wanderlist in one. Log the meals you've had, save the places you want to try, and plan the ones you're going to with friends. SAVE IT FROM ANYWHERE Found a restaurant in a video, on a map, or on its own website? Hit Share and pick FlavorTrail. It works with TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook posts, Google Maps pins, and any restaurant website. FlavorTrail reads the link on your phone, finds the place on the map, and puts it on your Wanderlist in one tap. EXPLORE & DISCOVER Search restaurants nearby or in any city, browse by cuisine, and see everything on an interactive map. Daily picks tune themselves to the cuisines you actually crave. BUILD YOUR WANDERLIST Keep a running list of every place worth trying. Group them into collections like date nights, brunch spots, or any theme of your own, and see them plotted across your city. CAN'T DECIDE? PICK FOR ME Choose a vibe (date night, quick bite, special occasion) or type your own, and FlavorTrail pulls one place off your Wanderlist. Switch on Open now and it only offers somewhere you can walk into. PLAN DINNER AS A GROUP Start a plan for up to eight people, put a shortlist of restaurants up for a vote, and see who's in before anyone books. LISTS YOU BUILD TOGETHER Share a collection with friends and everyone can add to it. Invite by link, see who added what, and pull any place onto your own Wanderlist. SHARE & CONNECT Follow the people whose taste you trust, post the plates worth posting, and find your next dinner in places they've already been. YOUR EATING YEAR, COUNTED Track every spot you've visited, add notes and what you spent, and watch your stats build: plates logged, cities visited, average rating. Share the card when the numbers are worth showing off. Free on iPhone.
