tasted food.
It can't smell, can't chew, can't remember being hungry as a kid. The point of remembering what you ate is that you tasted it.

Where it came from
Makan started during COVID. I couldn't see my friends, so a few of us started a Snapchat story to stay in touch. It grew to over 300 people without us trying. When you can't share a table, the photo of the meal becomes the table.
Six years and thousands of meals later, we built an app around the habit.
— Devon Makepeace, Founder
For restaurants
Memory is the moat.
Yelp tells you what customers said once. Makan tells you what they remember.
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, built for iPhone — no subscription, no paywall, no ads. Android is coming next.
It means “eat” in Malay and Indonesian. Devon — our founder — is Indonesian, so naming a food app Makan made sense.
By default, only your friends. Every meal you post is either Friends Only — the people you've added, and no one else — or Public, which anyone on Makan can see. Friends is the default, and going public is a per-meal choice that opens up as you settle in. Either way, the meal is saved in your own diary first.
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.
No. A meal isn't 4.2 out of 5. The rankings we show are personal — yours, and your friends'. When a friend posts a meal, you'll see if it's their #3 of all time. That tells you more than a 4.6 average from strangers ever could.
Yelp tells you what a thousand strangers thought once. Makan shows you what the people you actually trust ate and remembered. No star averages, no anonymous reviews, and no paying to be featured — if a place shows up on Makan, it's because someone you know ate there and kept it.
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.
