GoodEats is the fastest way to remember the places that matter to you. Like Goodreads, but for restaurants, cafes, parks, and anywhere else you go. TWO SHELVES. "Been" for places you've visited, "Want to go" for places you're saving. Move places between them with a swipe. RATE IT YOUR WAY. A simple 1 to 5 stars, plus notes on what you loved. Rate individual dishes too, so you never forget what to order. SCAN THE MENU. Point your camera at a menu (or a delivery-app screenshot) and pick out dishes to track, all processed on your device. SEE IT ON A MAP. Every place you've saved, color-coded by status, with your ratings at a glance. LOG YOUR VISITS. Keep a history of when you went and how it was. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE. Share a place from Apple Maps or Google Maps straight into GoodEats. PRIVATE BY DESIGN. No account. No tracking. No ads. Your data lives on your phone and in your personal iCloud. Nowhere else. Export everything as JSON whenever you like.
