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.

Food Scanner

Food Scanner turns a photo of your plate into a calorie and macro entry. You take the picture, the app identifies the meal, and calories, protein, fat and carbs appear in your diary. There is no barcode to scan, no database to search and nothing to type. The serving size is estimated from the photo, which means it is an estimate. Set it to the amount you actually ate and every number updates with it. Dish names, portions and whole meals can be edited or entered by hand at any point, so the diary stays accurate even when the first guess is off. Meals are grouped by day and counted against a daily calorie target you set yourself. The amount left for the day sits on the main screen. A recipe section is included: full calorie and macro breakdowns, ingredients and step-by-step instructions, filtered by breakfast, lunch or lighter meals. In the app: Photo recognition of cooked meals, not only packaged products Calories plus protein, fat and carbohydrates on every entry Portion adjustment with live recalculation Manual entry and editing of any logged meal A daily calorie target you set and change yourself Recipes with full nutrition breakdowns and instructions Subscription Information Premium is an auto-renewing subscription.
