Forkprint vs BiteCycle

Forkprint is a private food journal for tracking every restaurant you visit and every dish you try. No accounts, no social feeds, no ads — just your personal record of what you ate and what you thought about it. RATE AND REMEMBER Rate restaurants and individual dishes on a 5-star scale. Add notes, prices, and tags so you never forget what you ordered or whether it was worth it. TAG AND SEARCH Tag dishes however you want — "spicy", "date night", "best burger" — then search and filter your journal by name, tag, rating, price, location, or date. Find that incredible pasta dish from six months ago in seconds. MAP YOUR PLACES See every restaurant you've visited on an interactive map. Discover new places nearby and add them to your journal with one tap using built-in Apple Maps search. BUILD CUSTOM LISTS Create lists like "Best Burgers", "Date Night Spots", or "Want to Try" to organize your favorites. Add restaurants from the map directly to a wishlist before you even visit. SHARE WITH FRIENDS Send a custom list to a friend as a shareable .forkprint file via AirDrop, Messages, or Email — complete with your ratings, notes, and photos. WORKS OFFLINE Add entries anywhere, even without internet. Restaurants added offline can be linked to Apple Maps data later when you're back online. PHOTO JOURNAL Attach photos from your camera roll to any restaurant or dish. Forkprint references your existing photos — no storage duplication, no uploads. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE All data is stored locally on your iPhone. Forkprint has no servers, no analytics, and no tracking. Your food journal is yours alone.

BiteCycle is a private food journal you keep with the people whose taste you trust. Log the dishes you love, map the places you have been, and share it all with a small circle of friends and family. No algorithms, no ads, no sponsored reviews. CAPTURE EVERY FIND Snap a photo, rate the dish, and add the details that make a recommendation worth trusting. Give one overall score on a ten-point scale, or break it down by taste, presentation, value, and experience. Add cuisine and dietary tags, a price, halal details, and a personal note. Save a place on its own to try later. SHARE WITH YOUR CIRCLE Create private circles for different groups and invite people with a simple code. Only the friends and family you choose ever see what you post. Chat in end-to-end encrypted group messages, plan events and RSVP, run polls to pick where to eat, and build shared food lists together. EXPLORE WHERE YOUR CIRCLE HAS BEEN Browse a map of every place your circle has logged, color-coded by cuisine. Filter by cuisine, circle, or minimum rating. Search dishes and places by cuisine and dietary tags to find exactly what you are after. DIETARY AND HALAL NOTES Tag dishes as halal, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, gluten-free, and more. Add halal details to a dish, including certification body, meat source, origin, and whether alcohol is served. MAKE IT YOURS Build a custom avatar and choose from three themes: Warm Linen, Sage & Clay, and Blush & Stone. Dark mode is fully supported. Clay illustrations cover 34 cuisines and food categories.
