About ForkOut and Otto
What is ForkOut?
ForkOut helps you decide what to eat. Tell Otto, your meal assistant, what you’re in the mood for, and get a meal that fits: a recipe to cook at home or a place to eat nearby. Otto can also plan your meals ahead.
What is Otto?
Otto is ForkOut’s meal assistant, the friendly otter you chat with. Otto plans meals, suggests recipes and restaurants, answers food questions, and remembers your preferences. You can swap or skip any of Otto’s picks.
How do I talk to Otto?
Just chat. Type what you’re craving, say it out loud, or send a photo of a menu or your plate. Otto replies with a suggestion and why it fits.
Meal planning
How does meal planning work?
Tell Otto about your goals, diet, cooking style, and budget, and Otto builds a meal plan around them. You can update your preferences anytime, and Otto adjusts your plan.
Can I change a meal in my plan?
Yes. Ask for a different option and keep the one you like, or tell Otto in chat what you want instead, like “something lighter tonight.”
Eating out
How does Otto pick restaurants?
Otto looks for places near you that match your craving, diet, and budget, with details like ratings and price to help you choose. Hours and menus can change, so check with the restaurant before you go.
Does ForkOut book restaurants or order food?
No. ForkOut helps you decide what to eat. Booking, ordering, and paying happen directly with the restaurant or the service you already use.
Do I have to share my location?
No. Location is optional and only used to find places near you. Without it, Otto still plans meals, suggests recipes, and answers questions. You can change this anytime in your device settings.
Allergies and diets
Does ForkOut work with food allergies?
Yes. Tell Otto about your allergies and the foods you avoid, and Otto plans and suggests around them. Otto can also flag menu items that may contain them. Recipes and menus can miss ingredients. Always confirm ingredients with the restaurant or the package. ForkOut isn’t medical advice.
Which diets does ForkOut support?
Most common diets, including vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, halal, kosher, keto, and paleo. You can also list foods you don’t eat, and Otto plans around them.
Free and Pro
Is ForkOut free?
Yes. ForkOut has a free plan that covers the essentials. ForkOut Pro plans your whole week, lets you chat with Otto as much as you like, and adds saved recipes and places, deeper nutrition insights, and custom check-ins.
Privacy
What data does ForkOut collect?
Your account email, the preferences you set, your meal plans, saved meals, and chats with Otto, so Otto can make better suggestions. Location is optional. We don’t sell your data or show ads. The privacy policy has the details.
How do I delete my account?
Delete it anytime from the app’s privacy settings, or email support@forkout.app. Deleting removes your profile, meal plans, saved meals, chat history, and photos. It doesn’t cancel a Pro subscription; cancel that in your app store settings.
