Pixx - Restaurant Picker App
Just Pick For Me
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Finally, an app that answers the age-old question: "Where should we eat?"
Pixx is the social dining app that takes the drama out of group meal planning. No more endless group texts. No more "I'm open. You pick." No more scrolling through restaurant lists for an hour only to end up at square one. Let Pixx do all the work and choose for you based on your group's preferences.
How It Works:
Create a meal, invite your crew, and let Pixx work its magic. Our smart recommendation engine considers everyone's dietary restrictions, budget preferences, cuisine cravings, and locations to suggest spots where the whole group will enjoy.
Perfect For:
- Friends tired of the "where should we eat" back and forth
- Colleagues coordinating team events
- Families managing picky eaters
- Social butterflies planning dinner parties
- Foodies exploring new spots with friends
Key Features:
Smart Group Matching
Set your location preferences and dietary needs. Pixx finds restaurants that work for everyone, not just one person.
Recurring Dining Groups
Create standing groups for your weekly brunch crew, monthly book club dinners, or Friday happy hours. Schedule once, coordinate forever.
Democratic Decision Making
Vote on restaurant suggestions together. See real-time updates as your friends RSVP and share preferences.
Built-in Group Chat
Keep all meal planning conversations in one place. No more lost messages in cluttered group texts.
"Surprise Me" Mode
Feeling adventurous? Let Pixx pick a random spot based on your group's preferences. Trust the algorithm.
Meal History & Reviews
Remember that amazing Thai place from last month? Your meal history keeps track of where you've been and what you thought.
Smart Notifications
Get notified when friends respond, suggest changes, and when it's time to head out. Never miss a group meal again.
Flexible Scheduling
Plan ad-hoc meals or set up recurring dinners. From spontaneous lunch runs to monthly dinner traditions, Pixx can handle it all.
Why You'll Love It:
- Saves Time: No more back and forth trying to coordinate schedules and preferences
- Reduces Conflict: Democratic voting means everyone has a say
- Discovers New Spots: Get personalized recommendations you'd never find on your own
- Keeps Friends Connected: Turn meal planning from a chore into quality social time
- Respects Dietary Needs: Automatically filters for allergies, restrictions, and preferences
The Social Difference:
Pixx isn't just another restaurant finder - it's a social coordination platform built for how friends actually eat together. We know that finding a restaurant isn't the hard part; getting everyone to agree and show up is. Pixx handles both and much more.
Whether you're organizing weekly Taco Tuesdays with coworkers, coordinating family dinners across dietary restrictions, or just trying to get your indecisive friend group fed... Pixx makes it effortless.
Download Pixx today and never text "I'm open, what do you want?" again.
more - Your invitations in one place — every invite someone sends you now lands in the app instead of a notification you might scroll past, so nobody misses a meal they were asked to.
- Tell Pixx how it went — when a plan fizzles or the group ends up somewhere else, Pixx asks where you went and why, and you can search for the place instead of typing it out, so the picks get better at knowing what your group actually does.
- Not that one? — ask for a different spot or hand the choice to the group to vote on, so a surprise you don't like isn't the end of the plan.
- The board keeps up — if people join or drop out after Pixx has found places, you're offered fresh options instead of a list built for a group that's already changed.
- Stays signed in — a brief connection problem won't drop you back to the login screen anymore, so you don't lose your place. Plus a steadier app throughout, with fixes to the taste quiz, share-link invites, meal times, and photo loading.
1.102.5 1d ago
-More than one schedule per group — a group that eats on more than one rhythm now sees every schedule it runs, each with its own time, place and guest list, so a second standing dinner stops being invisible.
- Meals that close themselves — if your group set a deadline for picking a place, the vote now actually closes and locks in the winner when it arrives, and it leaves the board alone when nobody has voted rather than choosing for you.
- Something to watch while you wait — food tumbles onto the screen while we're finding places, and it leans and slides as you tilt your phone, so the wait isn't a blank spinner any more.
- A friends list worth opening — see who you're actually connected to, and unfriend or block someone straight from their profile instead of hunting for the setting.
- Polls that agree with themselves — schedule polls now say which dates they're asking about and their counts match what's on screen, meals that have already happened are read-only instead of pretending they're still up for a vote, and clearing your notifications takes one tap. Plus a smoother app throughout, with group cover photos, a faster suggestion screen, and fixes to trip planning and profile stats.
1.96.0 5d ago
- Suggestions that are actually open — we now only show places open at your meal time, so a 6am breakfast stops coming back with spots that don't unlock their doors until dinner.
- Breakfast that looks like breakfast — early meals search cafes, bakeries and brunch places instead of everything nearby, and late-night leans on diners and bars.
- See who a place works for — group meals now show whether an option suits everyone, and name who it doesn't work for, so nobody finds out at the table.
- Your meal time, exactly as you set it — a scheduling bug could shift a meal by several hours, and it's fixed on every path that creates one.
- Inviting people is easier to find — the friends screen now says what each option actually does, and if nobody you know is on Pixx yet it hands you an invite link instead of an empty list. Plus a steadier app throughout, with tidier restaurant cards, a clearer solo setup, and fixes to location handling on iOS.
1.95.2 Sep 10
- Start the plan, sort the restaurant later — create a meal in seconds and share one link, and Pixx waits to build the restaurant list until your friends are in, so the options reflect who's actually coming and what they can eat.
- Invite by link and by name together — pick the friends you want and still share a link for everyone else, from one control instead of two switches that used to argue with each other.
- Watch the group fill up live — the roster updates the moment someone joins or RSVPs, so you always know where the plan stands without refreshing or asking around.
- More to go on before you swipe — every restaurant card now carries the address, how far away it is and how long it takes to get there, and the full details open in the app instead of bouncing you out to a browser.
- Say more when something's wrong — attach several screenshots to a feedback report. Plus a steadier app throughout, with invite links that open Pixx properly, notification wording that no longer over-promises, and tighter privacy in group chat.
1.93.1 Sep 1
- Your decided meal on one screen — once the group settles, the place, the plan and what happens next sit together instead of spread across two screens that repeated each other.
- Directions and a call button where you need them — open directions in your maps app in the travel mode you actually chose, or ring the restaurant, so nobody's hunting for the address at the last minute.
- Reservations carry through — when a restaurant takes bookings, the reservation link comes with it, so the group isn't left to figure out the last step on their own.
- A share card worth posting — the image you get when a meal is set has been rebuilt, so telling people where you're eating doesn't mean sending a screenshot.
- Setup reminder emails are yours to switch off — you can turn them off on their own in notification settings without silencing anything else. Plus a steadier app throughout, with fixes to the travel breakdown on a decided meal, restaurant details that could hang while loading, and a notification setting that could skip a type.
1.87.1 Aug 26
- Rate the places you already know — Restaurant Swipe asks where you've been and how you felt about it, so your recommendations sharpen from the first few taps, and anything you mark as wanting to try lands on your Want to Try list without you having to save it yourself
- Enough to judge somewhere you've never been — tap the info button on any card for the address, rating, price and a link straight to the menu, photos and reviews, instead of deciding from one photo and a name
- Invite a friend with a QR code — the friends tab now carries a scannable code for adding someone sitting across the table, and a share link can be capped to a set number of uses and regenerated whenever you want one back
- Know what's left to do — a Get Set Up card shows the pieces of your profile you haven't finished and takes you straight to the right field when you tap one, and invitations now recognize you, so you're never asked to accept something you already accepted
- Reminders that arrive when they're useful — a heads-up the day before and again a couple of hours out, a nudge when the group has gone quiet without deciding, and a prompt to say what you thought once the meal is over, with nothing landing in the middle of the night. Plus a steadier, better-looking app throughout, with fixes to solo meals showing group travel details, a missing profile name locking you out of other tabs, the home screen widget losing its session, dark mode, and a black flash on launch
1.86.1 Aug 21
- Reserve a table — finalized meals now show a real booking link when the restaurant takes reservations, and hand off to Maps when it doesn't, so the group isn't left to figure out the last step on their own
- Pick how you're getting there — price the trip by driving, transit, or walking instead of assuming your saved preference, and see how each person is actually arriving, not just how long it takes them
- Eating alone counts too — solo plans are a first-class path now, with a simple invite switch in place of the old solo and group chips, and Surprise Me open to people dining by themselves
- Offers you can actually use — a sponsored offer's terms show on the board before the group votes, and you can mark one as used once you've redeemed it, so nobody's guessing what they signed up for
- A smoother start, and less friction getting in — a rewritten first-run experience, a home location you can set during signup, and email verification that notices when you've verified, tells you exactly how long you have left, and lets you fix a mistyped address. Plus a steadier app throughout, with fixes to swipe-to-skip, solo meals accidentally creating polls, meal times showing on the group's clock, signup surviving a dropped connection, and live updates recovering on flaky networks
1.80.3 Aug 8
- Describe your meal in your own words — type or say something like "a hole in the wall with amazing burgers and casual outdoor seating in Lincoln Park" and get suggestions that actually match, instead of filling in pickers
- Share to Pixx — send a restaurant from TikTok, Instagram, or the web straight into Pixx from your phone's share sheet, and it's saved as a place to plan around later
- Your group, all in one place — photos, memories, challenges, polls, and streaks are now tabs right on the group page instead of tucked behind a separate button
- Messaging that keeps up — your conversation list updates on its own as messages arrive, and you can see who's typing without opening the chat
- "For You" wherever you are, and suggestions that listen — browse recommendations around home, your current location, work, or any spot you choose, and the budget, cuisines, dietary needs, features, and travel distance you pick now shape your results directly. Plus a steadier app throughout, with fixes to sign-in, account deletion, notifications, keyboards, and photos on iPhone
1.76.1 Jul 28
- Dining solo? Plan a meal just for yourself — get a right-sized set of options, then pick your spot or let "Reveal my pick" surprise you

- Message a friend straight from their profile, and choose who can see your dining details
- A clearer suggestion board — a loading state while options are still generating, a plain explanation when it's empty, and the actual reason when a reshuffle is declined
