## What is OPEN?

What's open right now - and until when.

Every app can tell you a place's opening hours. OPEN answers the other question, the one you actually care about at 9:40 PM: is this place open right now, and how much longer will it stay open.

Opening hours are a promise. Live status is what is actually happening.

What OPEN gives you

Open now, not "should be open". The owner updates the status in seconds, and that update overrides the regular hours.

Until when. "Open until 2:30 AM" - so you know whether it is worth heading out or you have already missed it.

Closing soon. A warning before you spend twenty minutes travelling to a locked door.

Close to you. The list is ordered by distance. Your location is used only while the app is open, only to find what is near you right now - we do not store it, and we keep no location history.

"Unknown" is not "closed". When there is no fresh information we say "unknown" instead of guessing. Showing an open business as closed is the worst harm an app like this can do - so it does not do it.

Every status carries a source and a timestamp. You can see who updated it and when: the owner, someone who was just there, or the regular hours.

Favourites. The places you keep going back to, and which of them are open right now, on one screen.

Hebrew and English, and a real dark mode. People open an app like this at night, so it is designed for night.

Categories: food, coffee, bars, shops, groceries, pharmacy, gym, beauty and services.

For business owners

Updating your status takes seconds, not a form. "Open until 1:30 AM", add thirty minutes with one tap, close now, or close temporarily with a reason and a return time. A customer who sees "open now until 2:30 AM" is a customer on the way to you. Listing is free.

Launching in Jerusalem.

No ads, no tracking, no data sold.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.11 — 2026-08-27

New: notifications from the businesses you love. Save a business to favorites and allow notifications - when it posts an update or changes its hours, you get notified right on your phone. Business owners see how many customers follow them. Plus: search, categories and the open-now filter stay pinned while you scroll.

### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-25

New: story sharing on your own photo. After every update - opening, closing, a customer note or an hours change - share a story to Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp riding a business photo or a gallery pick, with your message on top. Also: business cards redesigned with a large photo and the logo beside the name, the business page shows a photo mosaic, and the logo upload moved to the photos screen.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-24

New: business photos. Owners can upload up to 3 photos - the first becomes the cover shown on the business card on Home, in search, favorites and the map, and the rest appear in a gallery on the business page with fullscreen swiping. Sign-up can include a photo too, always optional. Plus: the owner message board now shows inside the app, and a fix for the keyboard covering the update screen.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-21

New: a message board from the business. Owners can post a short line about what is happening right now, like "at the doctor, back at 17:00" or "15% off until 18:00", and it shows on the business card straight away. Every update disappears by itself at the end of the day, so old messages never linger. A message that closes the shop moves the status too, so the words and the badge always agree. Plus owner screen fixes.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-18

What is new in this version:
- Sign in with Apple fix
- A new welcome screen after sign-up: business owner or visitor
- New events category
- Search understands full questions, like: where is burekas open right now
- Tapping a status in the map legend filters the list
