Everything one photo of the table turns into.
Snap the table once. Every feature below is something PlateDiary does with that one photo — and none of them asks you to type while the food is hot.
Features
Every feature
PlateDiary is a food journal app for eating out. The camera cuts each dish and drink into its own save on your phone, saves gather into moments by place and time, and those moments fill a board, a map, a page for every place and a page for every person you eat with.
Most of it is free: the camera and cut-outs, Places, Companions, the map, tags, Favorites, the craving wheel and the simple share sheet. Premium adds Share Studio, custom collections, more widgets, Looks and more ways to Play. PlateDiary AI is an optional membership that names dishes and answers questions about your diary, and it asks before anything leaves the phone.
Features
Food cut-outs
Snap the table once and each dish and drink cuts itself out, right on your phone. Works offline, on iPhone and Android, and on food photos you already took.
