Bänkle – Bench & Rest Finder

About

Bänkle finds public benches around you and points you straight to one. Open the app and every nearby bench appears on the map, drawn from OpenStreetMap. Pick one and a live compass turns to keep pointing at it while the distance counts down as you walk — no need to stare at a map. A green check tells you the moment you arrive. Exploring a new city on foot? Bänkle works anywhere OpenStreetMap has benches, so wherever you travel you always know where the next place to sit is. FEATURES • Live compass to the nearest bench, or to any bench you choose • Track a bench as your destination — the route and compass keep pointing at it, even after you close the card and between launches • "Next bench" — hop from one bench to the next along a longer walk • Search any city, address, or landmark and see the benches there • Real benches from OpenStreetMap, with backrest, material, and accessibility details when known • Filter for wheelchair-accessible seating, armrests, or covered / shaded benches — helpful when standing is hard or you need to get out of the sun • Favorites and a nearby list, one tap away — synced across your devices with iCloud • Apple Maps in Standard, Satellite, or Hybrid — all in 3D • Walking ETA and arrival time on a glanceable pill • Home-screen and lock-screen widgets showing your nearest bench • Dynamic Island and Live Activity with a direction arrow while you head over • A standalone Apple Watch app, plus a watch-face complication • Ask Siri to "Find the nearest bench in Bänkle" • Full VoiceOver support and a clean black-and-white design that follows Light and Dark mode Whether you're exploring a new city, walking the dog, resting between errands, or looking for accessible seating and shade, Bänkle helps you find somewhere to sit.
