Savya is a private tasting assistant. It reads a restaurant menu and tells you what to order — food and drinks, matched to what you like, how you eat, and any food allergies you set. Sign up, pick what you love to eat, and scan your first menu. It takes about a minute to set up. IT READS THE WHOLE MENU Photograph a restaurant menu — one page or six — or scan the QR code on the table, or paste a link to a menu online, including restaurant ordering pages and PDFs. Savya reads every dish, price and ingredient it can find, ranks the whole menu against your profile, and gives you a plain sentence for each pick. Not a list of everything on the menu. A short list of what's yours. No more defaulting to the first thing you recognize. Drinks included. At a bar, a brewery or a coffee shop, Savya picks from the drinks list too — cocktails, beer, wine, coffee — and gives them their own section. Hand it a drinks-only menu and you get drinks only. It reads menus you put together, too: add-ons, swaps, build-your-own bowls and custom coffee orders. It also reads what a menu doesn't spell out. Soy sauce carries wheat. French vegetables are cooked in butter. Dressings hide fish sauce and sesame. Anything that breaks one of your rules is flagged with the ingredient that triggered it, so you know exactly what to ask the server. BUILT AROUND YOUR ALLERGIES AND YOUR DIET Savya treats an allergy as a hard line, not a preference. Set ten preset allergens — peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, gluten, shellfish, soy, fish, sesame and mollusks — or type in your own. Then thirty-three preferences: vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, halal, kosher, keto, low carb, high protein, low sodium, no pork, no red meat, no alcohol, no raw fish, mild only — and the ones that are about pleasure rather than rules, like loves spicy, big on cheese, plant-forward, adventurous eater, always the same thing. Your coffee and drink preferences live on their own, so how you take your coffee and what you like to drink shape every drinks list you scan. Gluten free, dairy free, nut free, celiac, halal, kosher, keto, vegan, pescatarian: whatever you set is checked against every dish on every restaurant menu you scan. A DINING JOURNAL THAT FILLS ITSELF Any menu you read can become an entry in your dining journal: what you ordered, a photo of each dish, a rating for the dish and a rating for the whole visit, and a note in your own words. Your dining history stays searchable, and private unless you decide otherwise. Keep a dining streak for the weeks you actually eat out. Collect fifty-three badges, including a passport with sixteen kitchens in it. Watch a Savya Score build out of three things that move at different speeds — rhythm, adventure and taste. And read your taste persona: a short character study written from the preferences you picked. It is the part people screenshot. THE PEOPLE YOU EAT WITH Follow friends and see where they have been and what they actually ordered — the dish, not just the star rating. Keep restaurant lists: want to go, been, or your own, each with its own map. Set each one public, followers only, or private. ANYWHERE YOU EAT See the restaurants near you that other members have been to, and what they ordered there. Distance reads in miles or kilometres, whichever your phone uses. Travel badges keep count of the cities and countries you have eaten in, so a week away leaves something behind besides photographs. BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD Savya takes about a minute with a menu. It is reading the whole thing. Savya does not provide medical or nutritional advice. Ingredient information is inferred from the menu and can be incomplete or wrong. Always confirm with the restaurant. 18+.

Log a drink in as little as two taps. Watch your estimated blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and state in real time as you drink. See everything you've logged and past sessions as a journal. View deep insights into your patterns. Most drinking apps assume you want to cut down or quit. Nomicho is the opposite. It never nudges you to drink less, never scolds you, and never grades you. It is a warm and curious record of your own drinking to better understand yourself. Made by a fellow drinker, for people who enjoy drinking. Originally built in Japan and now adapted to you, wherever you are. ■ Record Two taps log what you actually drink. Over 100 drinks are built in and curated per country: from sake and lemon sours in Japan to light beers and cocktails from around the world. Sizes and ABV come filled in and editable. - Create your own drinks. Make it once, one tap after that. - Nomicho learns your usuals and floats them to the top. - Edit any drink later: volume, ABV, drink time, how long it took. - Capture how you felt with hand-drawn illustrations. - Keep photos of your drinks and sessions in a private library. - Tag where you drink, by hand or automatically. - Scan the barcode on cans and bottles. Products outside the catalog are automatically looked up for you. - Traveling? Switch countries and the drinks, sizes and barcode scanning follow. - Optionally add drinks, calories, sugars to Apple Health. ■ Predict See your estimated BAC and how your state shifts in real time as you drink. The model accounts for meal timing, when you finish each glass, and individual factors: sex, weight, height, how easily you flush, how often you drink. Connect Apple Health to fill your profile in a tap. Built on established peer reviewed research. - Log meals and snacks and the curve adjusts, showing how food lowers your estimate. - Set a ceiling for the session, like feeling it or buzzed, and see whether another drink would put you over it. - As your state climbs, Nomicho asks how you feel, so you can watch prediction and reality diverge. - A hangover forecast, optionally sharpened by sleep and rest from Apple Health. Tell Nomicho how strong a hangover was and it learns. - A cautious read of how long your estimate is likely to stay above zero. - Follow your estimate and session from the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island and Home Screen using Live Activity and Widgets, without having to open the app. ■ Reflect Keep a journal of your drinking and sessions. Browse past sessions on a calendar and view details on any day. Session recaps map and trace where the night went. A photo library to capture your moments and drinks. And 18 insight cards surface your own patterns. - A heatmap of when you drink, night-by-night curves, the rhythm of your hours. - How each drink relates to how you feel, and your pure alcohol totals. - Your favorites, how the seasons shift your glass, where you tend to end up. - Calories and sugar over time, completely optional. - Build your own cards (Plus): use what you've logged and pick what to measure, how to split it, how to draw it. ■ Collect Every drink you log unlocks an illustrated card, building a collection of what you have actually tried. Browse by category, country, or region and hunt for rare and unique drinks in a carefully curated catalog. ■ Privacy Nomicho is local-first. Almost everything works without an account or network connection. Easily export all of your data as JSON whenever you like. No ads and no behavioral tracking, ever. Delete your account and all data easily with a few taps in the app. ■ Nomicho Plus The core features are always free. Plus opens up: - Your full calendar history. - All 18 insight cards, plus custom cards of your own. - Sync across multiple devices. - Photo backup. For people of legal drinking age. Nomicho is a tool for recording and reflection, not a medical product or measuring device. Do not use it for medical or legal decisions, or determining if you're fit to drive.
