Find cafés with power outlets, fast Wi-Fi and room to stay — on a map. Google Maps won't tell you how many outlets a café has or how fast its Wi-Fi really is. Mugg does, from check-ins by people who were actually there. Log the cafés you find with photos and build your own café map. [Find a café to work from] - Filter by power and Wi-Fi Show only nearby cafés with outlets or Wi-Fi. Each café also shows how many outlets it has (none / few / many / every seat). - Real Wi-Fi speed Measure the Wi-Fi on the spot. Each café shows the community average. - Work Score A 5-level "how easy is it to work here" score from Wi-Fi, power and vibe. - Crowd level and opening hours See how busy it gets and when it's open. [Log the cafés you visit] - Check in with a photo Snap a photo and the café name and place fill in. Up to 10 photos per visit, editable later. - Your café collection on a map Every café you visit lands on your map, with a day-and-hour heatmap of your visits and a streak. - Check-ins near you See which cafés people nearby just checked into.
