ProvatoExplore the appLog each visit
Keep separate ratings, notes, dates, prices, photos, dishes, and location context for places you revisit.
An algorithm-free alternative to Beli, Yelp Bookmarks, and Google Maps Saved Places
Beli, Yelp Bookmarks, and Google Maps Saved Places are useful for discovery. Provato is for your own record after the visit: no public reviews, social feed, recommendation algorithm, or profile to maintain. Keep your restaurant log private and return to it when you need the detail behind a saved place.
Save future ideas
Keep a want-to-try list, then turn an idea into a real visit without recreating it.
Make it yours
Use tags, categories, and custom fields for orders, neighborhoods, roast notes, or anything else that matters.
Find patterns later
Search, filters, map pins, history, and stats make a growing record easier to use.
Cafe hopping, coffee beans, and tasting logs
Use Provato as a cafe hopping journal: save the drink, seat, neighborhood, and whether you would return. Coffee drinkers can track coffee bean roasters, origin, roast, brew notes, and repeat buys. It also works as a private wine or craft beer log for tasting notes, price paid, and bottles worth finding again.

What it is not
