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.
