If This Then Lunch

For iPhone, Apple Watch & Mac

Where should I eat lunch right now?

Open the app and get up to five lunch spots you can reach on foot in about fifteen minutes, ranked to favor places you haven't tried lately. Tap one and walking directions open in Apple Maps. That's the whole app — on purpose.

Everything stays on device

Nearby places come straight from Apple Maps on your device — there is no account, no server of ours in the middle, no analytics SDK, and no tracking. Your location is used only while the app is open, and your visit history never leaves your devices.

What it does

Five picks, fifteen minutes

The app searches Apple Maps for restaurants and cafés near you, computes real walking times, drops anything too far, and shows you at most five options. No endless list to scroll at 12:03pm.

Novelty-first ranking

Mark a place “visited today” and it steps aside for a few weeks so somewhere new bubbles up. The point is breaking the same-sandwich-every-day loop.

Map or list, then go

Flip between a map with pins and a compact list. Tap any place to see details, open its website, or jump straight into walking directions in Apple Maps.

On your wrist

The Apple Watch app shows today's suggestion and your recent history, so you can pick a spot without taking your phone out.

Lunch reminders, if you want them

Optional local notifications can nudge you before lunchtime. They are scheduled on your device and can be turned off any time.
