Snap the table once and PlateDiary remembers it all: every dish, the place, the day and who was there. New in 2.2: tabs you choose and share cards of your month.
One photo of the table. Every dish and drink cuts itself into its own save, right on your phone, in about a second.
PlateDiary is a food memory app for eating out. There's nothing to count and nothing to keep up with. Just the meal, the place, and everyone who was there.
THREE SECONDS. THAT'S THE WHOLE THING.
Snap the table the moment the food lands. On-device machine learning finds each dish and drink and cuts it out for you. A name, a star, a note, a companion: all optional, always. Quick Snap on your Lock Screen opens the camera in one tap.
SAVES BECOME MOMENTS ON THEIR OWN
Same place, same hour: your saves gather into a moment that already knows the time, the spot, and who sat across from you. Back somewhere you've been? The moment shows what you had last time.
EVERY PLACE YOU'VE EATEN
Search by place or by dish, then open any spot to see your usual, your menu there, every visit, and who you tend to go with.
THE PEOPLE AT YOUR TABLE
A round table of the people you share the most meals with, and a page for each of them: where it started, your usual together, and every table you've shared.
SO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU ATE
Name a dish, give it a star, or leave a note to future-you: "get the truffle one again." Favorites show how often you've had them.
PLATEDIARY AI
Tap Read after a snap and PlateDiary AI names every dish, with its cuisine and a few tags. It only fills what you left empty, and only the cut-out dishes leave your phone: never the table photo, faces or where you were. Members can also Ask PlateDiary things like "where did I last have ramen?" and get answers from their own saves. Everyone gets 10 free reads to try it.
CALORIES, ONLY IF YOU WANT THEM
Off by default. Switch it on and each read comes with one rough number per dish, yours to accept or correct. The Calories page adds up the meals you saved, from today to the whole year, with an optional daily number to keep in mind. The numbers never leave PlateDiary.
YOUR MONTH, SERVED
When a month or a year ends, your table comes back as a story: your top dishes, your spots, the people across the table, and a short letter about how you ate out (the words come with PlateDiary AI).
WHAT THE TABLE CAME TO
Add a price to a dish or the bill to a moment, or scan the receipt and let PlateDiary fill it in. Completely optional.
YOUR CITY, PLATED
Every moment pins itself where it happened. The map knows the way back.
GO ON, PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD
Open a moment and tip your phone. Tumble, Float, Water or Magnet. Can't decide where to eat? Spin the craving wheel and let your own saves pick.
YOUR LIBRARY STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
No account. No sign-in. Your photos, saves, notes, companions and places stay on your device, and capture, naming and browsing all work in airplane mode. Your daily backup can also land in your own iCloud Drive. Diagnostics, purchases and optional features like PlateDiary AI and GIF search connect to their named providers; the privacy policy explains each one.
PLATEDIARY PREMIUM
Capture, your board, places, companions, the map, simple sharing and backups are free, always. Premium adds the creative extras:
• Share Studio: arrange your saves, add doodles and keepsakes, then keep it as a picture or a looping film
• Collections, including smart collections that fill themselves
• Widgets: Memory Lane, Craving Shuffle, Save Wall and Table Window
• Look & feel: whole Looks, palettes, type themes and a name of your own
• Premium Play, new ways for saves to land, and craving wheels of your own
• Price insights: your priciest saves and worth-it picks
Premium is available weekly, monthly or yearly, or once and for good. PlateDiary AI is a monthly or yearly membership that includes everything in Premium; if you already own Premium for good, you can add just the AI.
Delicious moments deserve to be remembered.

PlateDiary 2.2: make the table yours.
• Made for iPhone Duo: open it and your diary opens like a book, with the board on one page and tonight’s table on the other. Folded, the tabs stand beside the clock with the camera under your thumb.
• Tabs you choose: Home stays put and the other three tabs are yours. Hold any tab to swap in Collections, Tags, You, Prices, Share cards, the map, your companions or Ask.
• Tools: every page and tool on one rail, one tap from the grid button on Home.
• Share cards: a calendar of your month, your top dishes, your year in numbers and more, drawn from your own diary and sized for a story or a post. Three are free; the rest come with Premium.
• Prices: every save you put a price on, month by month, in one place.
• Collections, kept in jars: your collections now sit in a pantry, and each jar fills up as you add saves (Premium).
• Calories, if you turned them on: the page now opens on today's plate.
• Not right? Tell PlateDiary AI what the dish is and it reads it again.
• A 30-second survey in Tools, to tell us what to make next.
• Quicker with a big diary, and on older phones.
Everything you saved came along.
