Why Makan
The meals that matter deserve to be remembered.
The photo usually survives. The place, the people and why it mattered usually do not.
Makan keeps them together.
How it works
One photo does most of the work.
Take the photo.
Open the camera and save the meal while it is still in front of you.
Add what mattered.
Tag the place and the people at the table. Write as much or as little as you want.
Keep the record.
The meal stays in your diary, with the date and details attached.
Eat or Yeet
The best meal is the one you'd eat again first.
Makan puts two meals from your diary head to head. Pick the one you'd go back for. Each choice shapes your Top 4 and a full ranking of your own meals.
Your nan's roast or the 2am kebab? No one else gets a vote.

Who it is for
For people who keep the photo and lose the details.
Makan is a personal food record that happens to be shared with friends. Every meal goes into your diary, and you choose Public or Friends Only when you post.
You photograph meals.
The picture survives in your camera roll. The name of the restaurant usually does not.
You ask friends where to eat.
Seeing what they actually ordered is more useful than another average from strangers.
You want the memory.
No calories, macros or reason to perform for people you do not know.
What you get
Your whole food life, in one place.
Your diary keeps the meal. The map keeps the place. Friends help with whatever comes next.
Every meal, kept.
Your calendar becomes a food diary of breakfasts, late dinners and everything between them.

Why Makan
Built around the meal, not the metric.
Makan keeps a diary of your own meals, a chronological feed for friends and a separate Public feed for discovery.
The app has logged 4,882 meals. Each one carries the details its owner chose to add.
Your meal can be Public or Friends Only. That choice is made in the composer, meal by meal.
The Friends feed stays chronological.
It is sorted by time, not by likes or craves.
Public or Friends Only.
Your first post is Friends Only. After that, choose an audience for each meal; Makan remembers your last choice.
The details stay with the meal.
The photo, date, meal type, caption, place and tagged friends are saved together.
FAQ
You're probably
wondering.
Makan is a food diary you keep with friends. Snap a photo of your meal, tag the place if it matters, and it stays in your record — the kind that remembers what you'd otherwise forget.
Yes. Makan is free on the App Store and built for iPhone. Android is in the works, and we don't have a release date to share yet.
It means “eat” in Malay and Indonesian. Devon — our founder — is Indonesian, so naming a food app Makan made sense.
Your first post is Friends Only. After that, choose Public or Friends Only when you post. Makan remembers the audience you last chose for the next meal, and you can switch it before posting. Public means anyone on Makan can see it; Friends Only means only your friends can.
No. No calories, no macros, no nutrition scores, no grading your dinner. Makan is a photo diary, not a tracker — it remembers what you ate, not what it “cost” you.
Eat or Yeet puts two meals from your diary side by side and asks which you'd eat again first. Your choices build your Top 4 and a full ranking of your own meals. It's your taste, so only you get a vote.
Makan is built around meal posts, not restaurant reviews. It keeps your own diary, shows a chronological Friends feed and offers a separate Public feed for discovery.
No. AI has never tasted food — it can't smell, can't chew, can't remember being hungry as a kid. So it doesn't write your captions, rank your meals, or guess what you ate from a photo. That part's yours.
A like is the quick “yum” you give a friend's meal. A crave is stronger — it saves that exact dish to your want-to-try list, for the moment a friend posts something and you need to eat it immediately.
Yes. Post a meal a day to keep it. Miss one and it ends — no insurance, no make-ups. People get oddly attached.
