Cravit is a new way to explore food with friends. Create your “Cravies,” define what matters to you, add the spots you’re curious about, and turn them into small food missions. Visit, review, and see which places rise to the top of your shared leaderboard. It makes choosing where to eat simple, social, and exciting — transforming everyday meals into adventures worth remembering.
Turned a simple idea with friends into an actual app
Hey everyone!
I’m a first-year university student and I just finished building an app I really needed myself. It’s in waitlist mode for now, and the App Store launch is coming next week — but you can already check it out here: getcravit.com.
When I moved from my hometown to Milan, I kept having the same experience:
1. Trying to find “our pub” with a friend — our own McLarens from How I Met Your Mother.
2. With another group, trying every smash burger in the city to find the real #1.
3. With my roommate, searching for the best Sunday breakfast spot.
Every time, we ended up creating random notes, spreadsheets, IG saves… nothing that made the experience fun or organized.
After doing this three times in three completely different ways, I thought: why isn’t there an app for this?
So… I built one. It’s called Cravit.
The idea is super simple:
* You create a “Cravy,” which is basically a personal food mission.
* You choose your criteria (taste, vibe, price, etc.).
* You add all the spots you want to try.
* You invite your friends.
* Every time you try a place, you log a review.
* And at the end, Cravit shows a leaderboard of all the spots — so you finally know which bar becomes your new McLarens.
If this sounds fun or useful, I’d love if you checked it out → getcravit.com
Any feedback is super appreciated!
Great launch, Cravit team. From a clarity & onboarding lens: when someone opens Cravit for the first time, what’s the one belief you want them to hold in the first 10-15 seconds? • “Finding a food adventure with friends can be simple & fun.” Or: • “I’m going to discover meals I’ve never thought of with people I trust.” Because in social food-discovery tools the biggest adoption barrier isn't features; it’s users believing this is actually going to be fun and easy. Curious how you're shaping that moment.
Great idea. When you are thinking of launching to the public?
Congrats on the launch! This is a really fun idea. I like how you turned a common habit - trying new food places with friends - into a simple app that makes the experience more organized and social.
The concept of creating a “Cravy” feels unique, and the rating system based on personal criteria is a smart touch. The design also looks clean and easy to use.
Great work - excited to try it out and see how it changes the way my friends and I explore new spots! 🍽️🚀
What was the hardest part of building Cravit, and where can I see the mobile app? Does it already exist yet?
