Hint (Home Intelligence) vs Quiet Spaces

Download Hint and enter your address. In under a minute, Hint maps out your home: when it was built, its climate, soil, and the risks it faces. From there, it builds a maintenance plan around your home and the season. Share your inspection report, insurance policy, and bills as you go. Hint reads them closely, so you don't have to, and keeps everything in one place as your home's library. The more Hint knows, the more it catches, like a renewal flagged before it sneaks up on you. Hint helps you: • Hit the ground running. See your whole home and what to tackle from day one. • Stay ahead. Hint flags renewals and deadlines, so you've got time to plan. • Handle problems fast. Snap a photo, and Hint tells you what's going on and how to fix it. • Find local pros for the job. • Compare your options. Shop insurance, utilities, and internet in one place. When something needs you, Hint speaks up. Otherwise, it stays quiet Behind Hint are experts who've spent their careers around the home: contractors, inspectors, and insurance adjusters, alongside co-founder Martha Stewart. Your home is yours. Your data is too. Hint never sells it, never shares it without your say, and never uses it to train models. “I’ve wanted to create something beyond education, something that could actually help proactively manage one’s home the way that I do. The technology wasn’t ready for my vision. Hint is.” Martha Stewart, Co-founder What new homeowners are saying. “The thing that was amazing was when you put in your address. It tells you all these little details about your house that you didn’t know.” Homeowner, Davie FL. Free to download. Homeownership without the guesswork.

A place where you can hear each other. Quiet Spaces rates restaurants, cafés and bars on whether you can hear the person across the table, using ratings and decibel readings from people who sat there. FIND OUT BEFORE YOU GO • A map of places, colored by how easy it is to hold a conversation, with a key that explains every color • Every venue page opens with the answer that matters: how many visitors could hear the person they came with • Each place shows when it was last rated, so you know how current the answer is • Filter for Crystal clear rooms, or for places that are good for talking at this time of day • Places nobody has rated yet show an estimate, always labeled as one THE DETAILS THAT DECIDE IT • Patio, booth, bar and main floor are rated separately, because they don't sound the same • Each venue shows which time of day people found easiest to talk • Decibel readings come from visitors' phones and are averaged the way a sound meter averages them • Save places with the heart and find them again on your profile CHECK A ROOM YOURSELF • The noise check shows the level as a ring that turns from blue to orange to red as the room gets louder. About ten seconds gives a good average • It also reads how steady a room is. Some rooms are loud but even; others swing between quiet and loud, which is harder for many listeners than volume itself • Nothing is recorded, stored or uploaded. Sound is analyzed on your phone and thrown away; only the number is kept, and only if you add it to a rating • Quick Rate is one screen: two answers, an optional seat, and you're done • Sound Walk plans a short walking route past the calmer places near you WHO IT'S FOR This app is for people who can hear an entire room except the one voice in front of them: people who are hard of hearing, who use hearing aids or cochlear implants, who process sound differently, and autistic or ADHD listeners. It was built by one person who spent years nodding along to conversations he couldn't follow. The map is young, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. A venue with no ratings says so. Every rating you add gives the next person a real number instead of a guess.
