Your Food
Biography

The restaurants, the dishes, the home-cooked meals and the flavors that become part of your life — kept somewhere better than a camera roll.

Chapter One

A meal is worth
thirty seconds.

Most food you love disappears into a camera roll you never open again. Palate asks four small questions while the plate is still in front of you, then gets out of the way.

01

Where'd you eat?

Nearby restaurants appear first, or write in your own kitchen. Home cooking counts — it's most of what you eat.

02

What'd you have?

The dish, a photo if you took one, dine in or takeout. Nothing is required except the dish.

03

How was it?

Slide to a rating — down to the decimal, when it's an 8.3 kind of night — and add a line of your own. The line is the part you'll be glad about in three years.

A line about it

Love the coffee art & the ambiance. Came back three Sundays running.

Chapter Two

You already have a food personality. Palate just names it.

Enough memories and a pattern shows up — the flavors you return to, the cuisines you drift toward, the places you keep going back to. It reads your own history, not a quiz.

Chapter Three

A map of every cuisine you've tasted.

Your Food Atlas fills in as you eat — the world's great cuisines, lit up one by one. A 👑 marks the one you log most; a ❤️ marks the ones you love. Tap any flag to relive those meals — or find the ones you haven't tried yet, near you.

Chapter Four

An archive that answers questions.

Every memory is searchable the way you actually think about food — by dish, by place, by city, by the cuisine you were in the mood for.

Search by anything

“That Thai place in Burlingame.” “The salmon toast.” “Everything I rated a ten.” It finds it.

On this day

The meal you had a year ago today, surfaced without being asked. Small and quietly good.

Insights

Your flavor fingerprint, the patterns you never noticed, the cuisines you return to. Your year in food, without a wrap-up email.

Chapter Five

Worth posting, without the design work.

Tap share on any memory and Palate lays your photo into a template using what it already knows — the dish, the place, the city, the rating. Feed, square or story. Nothing to type.

The SignatureFull-bleed photo, serif dish name, the mark on the caption line.
The Memory CardYour photo as a print. Nothing sits on top of the food.
The Passport StampPhoto untouched, one stamp with city, cuisine and date.

“I have four thousand photos of dinner and no idea what any of them were. This is the first thing that made them mean something.”
