How it works
Triage the whole menu, then look closer at the dish you want.
Set your allergen profile
Tell Clearplate which allergens to watch for, and how strictly. Keep a profile for yourself, your kid, or the whole family. Update it anytime.
Scan the menu
Point your camera at any menu. In seconds, Clearplate labels every dish so you can triage the whole menu: hard avoid, looks promising, or not enough info.
Look closer at a dish
Tap any dish worth a closer look. Clearplate shows the likely ingredients, what raised a concern, and what to ask your server before you order.
"Looks promising" means worth a closer look, not safe. Always confirm with your server before ordering.
Built for the 33 million Americans with food allergies, and the parents, partners, and friends who keep them safe.
Most allergy apps only work where someone has already eaten.
Crowdsourced apps tell you about restaurants other diners have reviewed. That leaves out the new spot down the street, the birthday party at a place you've never been, and the airport food court before a long flight. Clearplate reads any menu, anywhere. It does not wait for someone else to go first.
Why it works
Four reasons people trust Clearplate at the table.
Anywhere, not just where someone's been
The new restaurant, the chain with 250 dishes, the place nobody has reviewed. If it has a menu, Clearplate can read it.
In seconds, not phone calls to the kitchen
You're at the table and the server is waiting. Scan the menu, get the read, order. Speed at the table is the point.
Personalized to your allergens, not a generic label
A "gluten-free" note won't tell you about your sesame allergy. Clearplate reads every dish against your exact profile, not a one-size-fits-all label.
A second pair of eyes, not a replacement for asking
Clearplate is a check, not the final word. It hands you the information, and you make the call with your server.
One subscription covers the whole family.
Manage a profile for each person, and share Clearplate with up to six people through Apple Family Sharing. You are already doing the work of keeping everyone safe. Clearplate is a second set of eyes, not a replacement for yours.
FAQ
Questions people ask first.
Which allergens does Clearplate check?
The Top 9: peanut, tree nut, milk, egg, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame. You can add allergens beyond the Top 9 too.
Does it work at any restaurant?
Yes. Clearplate reads any menu, including ones nobody has reviewed. It doesn't depend on other diners having been there first.
Can Clearplate tell me a dish is safe?
No. Clearplate flags the conflicts it can stand behind and shows its reasoning. Even a "looks promising" dish is one to investigate, not a guarantee. Always confirm with your server before ordering.
What do the menu labels mean?
When you scan a menu, each dish is labeled so you can triage fast: hard avoid (a conflict to rule out), looks promising (worth a closer look, not "safe"), or not enough info (look closer before deciding).
What does it cost?
Free to download, with a 7-day Clearplate+ trial. After that, Clearplate+ is $4.99 per month and covers up to six people with Family Sharing.
What Clearplate is, and what it isn't.
Clearplate reads menus and flags the allergens it can stand behind. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose, and cannot promise that any dish is safe. A "looks promising" dish is one worth investigating, not a guarantee. Ingredients can vary by restaurant, so always confirm with your server before ordering. If you're managing a serious food allergy, work with a board-certified allergist.
