About Restaurant Journal_
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.
