Remember every dish worth remembering.
Bites is a private food journal. Save dishes, not restaurants. Search what you ate, when, and where — long after you've forgotten.
Yelp tells you what 4,000 strangers think.
Nothing tells you what you thought.
Real food memory is currently a fragmented mess. The most natural food question a person can ask — "what did I think of that place?" — has no good answer.
What Bites does
Four moves. That's the whole product.
Capture
One tap. Photo, dish name, restaurant, rating. Done before the check arrives.
Search
"Tatsu Ramen." "Rome." "Pasta." Two seconds to the bite you're thinking of.
Recall
Your library is yours. No reviews to game. No feed. No strangers.
Cookbook
Year-end PDF of your dishes — typeset like a real cookbook. (Pro)
Why now
AI-native retrieval is finally cheap. Apple Photos has the photos — nobody has the taxonomy over them. Vibe-coding lowers the build cost to one founder + an LLM. You're looking at v0, shipped in days.
Who it's for
People who eat out enough that they forget what they liked. People who travel and want their food memory to come home with them. People who've been meaning to keep a food journal but never got past day three.
What you get as an alpha tester
30 testers. 14 days. We're validating an idea, not selling a product.
- Free for life. Every alpha tester keeps lifetime access — including the cookbook ($9.99 retail) and any Pro features that ship later.
- Direct line to the founder. Hit the Feedback button on any screen. We read every email.
- Influence what ships. The product is still soft clay. Your week-2 feedback shapes the v1.
