Your tags, your filters
Colour-coded tags you make up yourself, plus filters by rating, price, date or tag to find anything among hundreds of entries.
RestaurantApp A diary of everything you've ever eaten
RestaurantApp is a free app for keeping a personal diary of restaurants, dishes and visits: log where you ate, what you ordered and what you thought of it —with a photo, a rating, the price and your notes— and find it again later by tag or on the map. It works fully without an account and offline.

- No ads, no analytics
How it works
Three records, all connected
The place, what you ordered there and the day you went. So you can find a dish even when you can't remember where you ate it, or open a restaurant and see every time you've been.
-
01
Restaurants
The place, with its spot on the map, your rating and your tags. Search for it by name, or just tap it on the map and it's saved.
-
02
Dishes
What you ordered, with a photo, the price in your currency, one to five stars and whatever you want to remember about it. Look it up by name even if you forgot where you had it.
-
03
Visits
The day you went, who you were with and what you all ordered. A visit ties the other two together: that night's place and the dishes on that table.
Map
Everywhere you've eaten, in one place
Every restaurant shows up on the map with its rating. Handy for deciding where to eat when you're already out, and for discovering you've been going back to the same neighbourhood for three years.
- Tap a place on the map to save it
- Search your places by name
- See your friends' map too
Your year
At the end of the year, it tells you
How many times you ate out, how many new places you tried, which month you went overboard and what your dish of the year was. No extra effort: it comes from what you already logged.

Share it as an image
Turn a dish, a visit or a restaurant into an image ready for your story or to send to someone. Five designs, with your own photos and notes inside, and you frame each photo by hand.
The image is made on your phone: it never goes through a server, it doesn't expire, and whoever gets it doesn't need the app.
And also
The little things that bring you back
In a basement with no signal, just the same
The diary lives on your phone. Offline it opens, searches and saves exactly as it does on wifi, photos included.
Friends, if you feel like it
Share the entries you choose, tag whoever was eating with you and see what your friends are eating, with likes and comments. If you want none of it, don't create an account: the social side simply doesn't exist.
Memories
What you ate a year ago shows up on Home. A "remember this?" you don't have to look for.
Your backup, yours
One file with the whole diary and all its photos. Keep it wherever you like and restore it whenever you like, on this phone or another one.
Eleven languages
With dates and prices in each one's own format.

Appearance
Eight palettes, light and dark
They change the background, the cards and the action colour, not just the buttons. And the theme follows your system, or you pick it.
Try them here: this page uses the same colours as the app.
Privacy
Without an account, your diary never leaves your phone
That's not a promise in the small print: it's how the app is built.
The diary lives in a database on the device itself and the photos in its storage. If you never sign in, what you write —places, dishes, notes, photos— is not sent to any server. There's no cut-down version waiting for you to sign up.
The one exception is the map: to draw it and to search for a restaurant, the app talks to Google Maps, like any app with a Google map. Google gets the area and what you search for, never your diary.
An account does two things: carry your diary to another device and share with friends. Both are optional, and neither is the default.
- Zero advertising No ads, no advertising IDs, no third-party ad networks.
- Zero analytics Nothing measures which screens you open or how long you spend on them.
- Your diary trains nothing What you write is never used to train artificial intelligence models.
- Private by default Every entry starts out private. Sharing is a choice you make one entry at a time.

FAQ
What everyone asks
Question not here? Write to maty892010@gmail.com: emails get answered.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. No subscription, no paid features, no pro version. No ads either: the whole project fits within free tiers.
Where can I get it?
On Android, from Google Play, and on iPhone, from the App Store.
Do I need to create an account?
No. The app works fully without one, and without an account your diary never leaves your phone. You only need an account to use it on several devices or to share with friends.
What if I change phones?
With an account, your diary simply appears on the new one. Without one, you make a backup —a single file with everything, photos included— and restore it on the other phone.
Can I take my data with me?
Yes, whenever you like and without asking: Settings → Backups creates a file with your whole diary and its photos.
What permissions does it need?
Camera and photos, for pictures of your dishes; location, only while the app is open, to put a restaurant on the map; and notifications, if you have an account and want updates from your friends. Nothing in the background.
What is Google sign-in used for?
Only to identify you when you create an account or sign back in: your email, name and profile picture are read to fill in your initial profile, and nothing else. Your contacts, Drive and calendar are never accessed. You can create an account with an email and password instead, or not create one at all.
Who's behind it
I build and publish RestaurantApp as an individual, not as a company. This site and the app are mine, and I wrote the legal pages linked from here against what the app actually does. Emails get answered: maty892010@gmail.com.
