Crumb

The plate is the post. Support & help.

What is Crumb?

Crumb is a photo-first food diary and map. You snap the meal in front of you, score it out of ten on a haptic ruler, add a note, tags, a price or a menu photo, and it pins the spot on your personal map — building an atlas of everywhere you've eaten. You can use Crumb completely on your own device with no account, or create an optional account to sync and add friends.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account?

No. Crumb works fully on your device with no sign-up — all your crumbs stay in local storage on your phone. An account is optional and only needed if you want to sync across devices or add friends.

How do I sign in if I want an account?

Sign-in is passwordless. Enter your email and we send a one-time code — no password to remember. Your email is used only to sign you in.

Why does Crumb ask for my location?

Location (used only while you're using the app) pins each meal where you ate it and finds nearby restaurants to name the spot. You can drag the pin by hand and you can decline location — you'll just name the place yourself.

Who can see my crumbs?

Your crumbs are private by default. There is no public feed. Content is shared only between people who are mutual (accepted) friends. You can block anyone, which severs the friendship and hides your content from them.

How do I report or block someone?

Open a friend's profile and tap the "more" button to Report or Block them; you can also report an individual crumb from its detail screen. Blocking severs the friendship and hides your content from that person. Manage everyone you've blocked from Profile → Blocked eaters, where you can also unblock. Unblocking does not restore the friendship — you go back to being strangers.

How do I export my data?

Go to Profile → settings and choose "Export my crumbs" to get your entire trail as a JSON file through the share sheet.

How do I delete my account and data?

If you created an account, open Profile → settings → Delete account. This permanently removes your account, profile, crumbs and photos from our servers. In on-device (no-account) mode, deleting the app removes all your data.

The map or a photo isn't loading.

Restaurant lookup and syncing need an internet connection; a downloaded map pack keeps the map usable offline. If something looks stuck, close and reopen the app, and make sure you're on the latest version.
