FAQ
You're probably
wondering.
Makan is a food journal you share with friends. Snap what you eat, when you eat it. Share publicly, with friends, or keep it private. No reviews, no ratings — just real meals from real life.
You decide. Every post can be set to Public (anyone on Makan), Friends (mutuals only), or Private (just you). The default is up to you.
The Public Feed shows meals from anyone on Makan who posts publicly. The Friends Feed only shows meals from people you’ve mutually added — no strangers, just your circle.
No. Makan is for what you actually eat, not what looks best. Microwave meals, desk lunches, and burnt toast all belong here. The point is capturing the real, not performing for an audience.
When you post on Makan, you’re posting as it happens. No scrolling back through old photos. The app is designed for in-the-moment sharing, which is what makes it feel honest.
No. Makan is not a diet app or a nutrition tracker. It’s a place to document and share what you eat with the people you care about. That’s it.

“Makan started as a Snapchat story shared between our closest friends. Over six years and thousands of meals later, we realised we'd built a habit worth keeping — so we built an app around it.”
