Restaurant Journal_ vs GoodEats

Eat. Experience. Remember. Restaurant Journal turns the food photos you already have into a private, beautiful map and journal of everywhere you've eaten — automatically. No typing. No check-ins. No account. You have thousands of photos from meals out — birthdays, first dates, that hole-in-the-wall taco place — and no easy way to remember where any of them were. Restaurant Journal fixes that. It quietly scans your library on your device, recognizes your dining moments, and organizes them into a journal you'll actually want to revisit. A private map of your dining life • See every restaurant you've visited on a beautiful map — from your neighborhood to every city you've explored • Zoom from your street to "everywhere I ate in Italy" • Browse your whole history by month and year Effortless and automatic • Builds itself from photos you already took — nothing to log • Detects visits, groups them by place, and finds the restaurant for you • New meals appear on their own Capture what made it special • Rate every meal : Yay, Okay, Meh • Add notes and voice memos • Keep your photos and videos from each visit • Correct a place, or hide spots you'd rather not track Private by design • Your library is scanned on your device — your photos never leave your phone • No account required • Optional: back up privately to your own iCloud and sync across your iPhones, so you never lose a memory Rediscover your favorites Revisit spots you forgot you loved, and see how your tastes have changed over the years. Perfect for food lovers, travelers, photographers, and anyone who believes a great meal is a memory worth keeping. Your memories are more than photos. They're stories. Restaurant Journal helps you keep them alive.

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.
