Letterboxd habits, translated to food
Letterboxd’s App Store listing describes the loop: log a film with the date, a rating, a review and tags, add films to your watchlist, make lists, and follow members to see their activity. Paid Pro members also get annual and all-time stats pages. Here is how each habit carries over to Matcha.
| On Letterboxd | What it does | In Matcha |
|---|---|---|
| Log | A film, with the date, a rating, a review and tags | A dish, with the date, a score, and a photo, price and note if you want them |
| Rating | Your rating of the film | A score from 1 to 10 in half steps for each dish |
| Diary | Your films by the day you watched them | Rankings › Year: that year’s dishes ranked, or grouped by month |
| Watchlist | Films you want to see | Want to try: places you want to go, with the dish to order if you know it |
| Lists | Lists you make and share | Your own lists, like “Lisbon 2026”, and shared lists with friends through iCloud |
| Stats | Annual and all-time stats pages, with Pro | Year in food: your dishes, cities, new #1s, the food you ate most, what you spent, your average score and your best month |
| Following | Follow members and see their activity in a feed | Matcha has no feed. You share an image, send your places as a link, or keep a shared list |
Where food is different from film
A film is the same film wherever you watch it. A carbonara isn’t: the one in Rome and the one round the corner are two different dishes, and one restaurant can make a great carbonara and a dull tiramisu. That’s why Matcha scores the dish at the place, then ranks all your carbonaras together, whichever city they were in. Each food gets its own ranking, and there are rankings by city, restaurant and year too. On the map, each restaurant shows its best dish’s score (how to rate food).

Beli
Beli is closest to Letterboxd’s social side: a newsfeed of the spots friends have tried, a Match Score that shows whose taste matches yours, and leaderboards of who has ranked the most places. It ranks restaurants rather than rating each one on its own: you compare a new place with ones you’ve already ranked, and Beli works out a score out of 10. You can add notes and favorite dishes to a place, and its listing describes scores for restaurants only. It’s free on iPhone, iPad and Android. If your friends are on Beli, it’s the one to join.

Truffle
Truffle’s website names the gap it was built for: Strava for running, Letterboxd for movies, Goodreads for books, and nothing to track restaurants. You track the places you’ve been, see friends’ favorites, to-dos and notes on a map, and make lists together. It has no ranking system and doesn’t push you to post photos or reviews. It’s a free download on iPhone and iPad with subscriptions in the app, and it’s in English.
Crumble
Crumble rates every dish and drink you order to a tenth of a star, keeps a wishlist of places to try, groups reviews from a trip together, and shows friends’ spots on your map. Reviews stay with your accepted friends. It’s free and runs in any browser, so it suits a group where some people use Android or a laptop. Full comparison: Matcha vs Crumble.
Corner
Corner is closer to a shared watchlist. Share a TikTok or Instagram link and it becomes a pin on your map, follow friends to see their go-to spots, and get recommendations shaped by your saves and reviews. Free on iPhone and Android. Full comparison: Matcha vs Corner.
Savor
Savor is dish first: you score each dish from 1 to 10, decimals allowed, build lists by cuisine or city, and keep it private until you choose to share. Its AI identifies the dish from your photo. On iPhone and Android, free with Savor Pro at $4.99/month or $49.99/year on the US App Store. Full comparison: Matcha vs Savor.
Matcha
Matcha is an iPhone app for foodies: score the dishes you eat, see your best pizza, ramen or matcha latte ranked, and keep every place on a map with a Want to try list. Year in food sums up each year you have dishes in, and you can share your top 5, a big #1 or a podium as a Story, a post or a square. Matcha is iPhone only (iOS 26 or later) and in App Store review now. When it’s out: free download, 7-day free trial, then $9.99/year, or $0.99/week without a trial. Nothing is free after the trial (pricing).
What Matcha leaves out
Letterboxd is built around other people: you follow members, read their reviews and comment on their lists. Matcha has no feed, followers or public reviews, and your journal stays on your iPhone without an account. If you want a crowd and a public profile, Beli is closer. Matcha also has no Android or web version, so Crumble or Savor suit friends who aren’t on iPhone.
