How it works

One photo. One sticker.

ate names the dish, cuts its sticker and keeps the story, the place and the rating, all from a single photo of the plate.

FAQ

Things people ask before they install.

Is ate free?

Yes. Everyone gets 10 dishes a day, which is more than most days need. Nothing interrupts you: there are no banners and no ads between screens. If you do run out before the day is up, you can watch a short video to earn one more dish — always your choice, never forced. Your collection, your memories and everything already in them stay yours and stay free.

What happens to my photo?

The photo is sent to Google's Gemini API so the dish can be identified, then stored privately for your own collection. Google's terms for the free tier allow submitted content to be used to improve their products and to be reviewed by humans, so please do not photograph anything you would not want a stranger to see. Your collection, notes, places and ratings stay private to your account.

Do I need an account?

Yes. You can sign in with Google, or create an account with an email address and a password. Either one keeps your collection attached to you and synced if you change phone. You can add a password later if you started with Google.

Which phones does it run on?

Android 8.0 and newer. Most of the testing happens on Android 11 and up. If your phone is older, the app says so the first time you open it and names the parts that get less of it. There is no iOS version yet.

Can I delete everything?

Any time. Deleting your account removes your memories, photos and profile from our database and private storage. The steps are on the Delete your data page.

Does ate count calories?

Not yet. Optional calorie and nutrition estimates are planned for a post-launch update. They will be informational only, not medical advice.
