Palate is a diary for every dish — the tasting menus and the Tuesday
leftovers, the restaurants, your own stove, and the meals someone
made just for you.
The tasting menus and the Tuesday leftovers — both belong in the record.

The thread
Your kitchen has threads.
Cook the same dish twice and Palate threads the attempts. Then & now
puts your first and latest photos, ratings, and notes together.
A dated note from a previous attempt can meet you when you log the next one.
Attempt six. Less guanciale fat next time. Kids approved.
On-device intelligence
Ask your diary.
On-device intelligence answers real questions about what you've
eaten — “where was that yuzu dish?”, “my best-rated meal
out?” — with links back to relevant entries when available.
Illustrative example. Requires iOS 26 or later, an Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone, and Apple Intelligence enabled and available for your language. Questions are processed on-device; answers can be mistaken. The rest of your diary works without it.

A story · a keepsake
A week worth revisiting. A meal worth sharing.
Your week in food has three little chapters: a favorite, the table,
and a discovery, drawn from entries with exact dates. A meal postcard
keeps one table together. Your Year in Food tells the longer story.
Preview before sharing. Postcard companion and cook labels, and a note, start hidden; weekly companion names are optional too.
Your diary lives on your phone. On-device AI, optional iCloud backup
to your own account, full export any time. There is no developer
server or analytics SDK. Apple Maps handles venue searches and optional
photo-location lookup; you choose where shared cards and exports go.
