An invite-only iPhone app, in English and 简体中文
A private notebook for food and wine. Remember the meals worth remembering, keep track of the bottles at home, and find out in the shop whether you’ve had a wine before.
Friday, 8:40 pm · at the table
Tap New visit and the restaurant you’re sitting in is already chosen, from the places you’ve been and from Apple Maps nearby. Add photos as the courses arrive. Scan the menu and every course lands in the dish list, as printed, for you to uncheck what you skipped. Rate what stood out, and note the Michelin distinction and what it cost per person. Log the wine too: a glass, a bottle from their list, a friend’s bottle, or one you brought from your cellar, which leaves the cellar once it’s finished.
Forgot to log it? Start the visit from your photos afterwards. The date and the restaurant come from when and where they were taken.
Saturday morning · telling a friend
Share a visit or a tasting as a read-only web page. Your friend doesn’t need the app or an account. The page shows the photos, the dishes, and your notes, in Chinese or English to match their browser. It never shows prices, what you paid per person, or the address.
Turn a link off in the Me tab whenever you like, and the page stops working.
Saturday afternoon · a case arrives
Point the camera at a label. The app reads the producer, name, vintage, and region into a form and marks each one AI until you’ve checked it. Add how many bottles, where they’re kept, and what you paid. Nothing is saved until you tap Save.
Already have this wine? Before it saves a new one, the app shows the match, so the same wine isn’t added twice.
Sunday evening · choosing a bottle
The Cellar tab starts with the open bottles and how many days each has been open, so nothing fades in the fridge. Below are the sealed bottles, by wine, with where they’re kept. A bottle you’ve poured with a Coravin shows the days since its first pour. Wines you’ve finished, or only had out, stay listed with your rating.
Filter by red, white, sparkling, sake, or spirits, and by where the bottles are kept.
Sunday evening · opening it
Each wine keeps its bottles, every tasting across the years, and a short typical profile written by AI and marked as such. Open and log picks the bottle and starts your tasting note in one step, with your stars, your words, and a few flavor tags, and asks whether the bottle is now sealed, open, or finished.
You can undo any change of status, whether a bottle is sealed, open, finished, or given away.
Tuesday lunch · in a wine shop
Scan the label on the shelf. In a few seconds you see each time you’ve had it and how you rated it, how many bottles are at home, and what you paid last time. Then add it to the cellar or log a glass, with the details already filled in.
No critic scores and no shop prices. Every number on the screen is your own.
Fork & Cork is in a private beta on TestFlight, and every account starts with an invite code. What you log is yours alone. There’s no feed of other people and no one to follow.
The app reads where a photo was taken to suggest the restaurant, then strips that from the file before it uploads. Shared pages show only the restaurant and the city.
AI reads labels and menus and writes a wine’s typical profile. It never makes up scores or prices, and nothing it reads is saved until you confirm it.
Drafts save as you type. Photos and changes wait on the phone and upload when you’re back online.
The app follows your iPhone’s language. Menus and labels stay as printed, and your notes stay as you wrote them.
Dark mode comes first, for candlelit tables, and light mode is just as complete. The app follows your iPhone; the switch at the top of this page shows both.
The screens are design mockups of the app’s current look. Restaurants, wines, and notes are invented, and the photos are drawn stand-ins. Fork & Cork is in development and shared through TestFlight, by invite only for now.
