Can't decide where to eat? Swipe on it. forkIt shows you restaurants nearby one at a time. Swipe right on the ones that sound good, left on the ones that don't, and pick a place in minutes instead of scrolling through endless lists. DECIDE TOGETHER Start a group and everyone swipes on the same restaurants. The moment you all like the same place, it's a match. No more "I don't care, you pick." Share an invite link, or invite friends right from the app, and see who's in and what's leading, live. Planning ahead? Set a time and forkIt only shows places that will be open then. FIND FOOD ON THE ROAD Pick where you're headed and forkIt finds restaurants along your drive, timed to when you'll pass them. Choose "next 30 min", "1–1.5 h" or further ahead, and only see places that will be open when you get there. ROAD TRIP GROUPS Everyone in the car can swipe together on restaurants along the route. Whoever's driving taps "I'm driving" and sits out the vote. When the group agrees, the driver gets a notification that opens directions straight to the restaurant, so nobody has to touch the driver's phone. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO See at a glance which places are open, closing soon or opening soon, plus today's hours, ratings, price and distance. Tap through photos for the address, phone number, website and reviews. FROM "YES" TO DINNER When you find the one, choose Eat In, Takeout or Delivery and forkIt takes you to reservations, online ordering or directions in one tap. MADE FOR YOU • Filter by distance, price, rating, cuisine, or only places open now • Star your favorites so they come up first • forkIt learns what you like as you swipe, and nudges your favorite kinds of food higher • Sign in to sync favorites and preferences across devices, add friends, and keep a history of your picks • Works in English and Korean, with full restaurant coverage in South Korea Accounts are optional. Swipe right away, no sign-up needed. Support the app forkIt is free with no ads and no paywalls. If you'd like to support development, you can: buymeacoffee.com/caxlemouch ko-fi.com/caxlemouch
