The app

The map of benches worth the detour.

A community map of the most beautiful public benches: photos, ratings out of 10, reviews. Wake up forgotten benches, collect your discoveries.

Free. No account needed to explore. Coming soon to iOS and Android.

The concept

3,500,000+ benches are asleep on the map.

Grey dots, no photo, no name. Nobody has told their story yet.

Underneath, the benches from OpenStreetMap. On top, the ones the community documents: a photo, a rating, a review. All the others are waiting for their moment.

The wake-up

Be the first to wake one up.

A photo, a rating, a name you choose. Your discoverer title stays on the bench page forever.

Less than 30 seconds on the spot: the location fills itself in.

The rating

Rate every bench out of 10.

Comfort, view, vibe: the community decides.

And sometimes, an exceptional bench earns the rare 11/10.
