About Forklist

Forklist is a map of the places your friends recommend, with what they said about each one. I build it in the evenings. It's free, and Plus is optional.

Who makes it

I'm Adi P., and I make Forklist. My best restaurant tips got lost in group chats, and search gave me the average of strangers' opinions. I wanted to hear from people whose taste I trust.

I write the app, and I'm responsible when something goes wrong. The privacy page says what the people who run Forklist can see of your account or a message you send.

What to expect

• Every note starts private. You choose who sees it when you save it. On your first day your map is empty, and nobody lands on it by accident. Four things reach past your friends: Explore, which shows the places people save and names someone only to people who can already read their note; a table you open to your city, which is a place, a time and some seats with nothing written on it; a guide, once you publish it; and a crawl link, which shows the stops and never what anyone wrote on them.
• The note is the point. A star rating can't tell you the portions are huge or that the good branch is the one across the road. A friend's note can. Stars or scores your friends give sit beside their notes, and Google's score is marked as Google's.
• No ads and no analytics. Nothing in the app is watching how you use it, and nothing you write is sold. The privacy page lists what Forklist stores, so you can check for yourself.
