Meet in the middle.

Median ranks meet-up places by drive-time fairness — not the geographic midpoint — so nobody quietly takes the long road.

Three ways to find where to go.

Whether you're alone, planning ahead, or coordinating with friends across town — pick the mode that fits the moment.

Mode 01

Around Me

Find places near your current location — for when you're already out and need somewhere within walking or a short drive.

Mode 02

Around There

Drop a pin anywhere — a hotel, a venue, a future home — and Median surfaces what's nearby before you ever leave.

Mode 03 · Standout

Let's Meet

Enter 2 or more addresses. Median ranks meeting spots by drive-time fairness — the spot is in the middle for everyone, not the map.

Beyond the geographic middle.

Median uses Google Distance Matrix to rank spots by drive-time fairness for the whole group — with per-person minutes, miles, ratings, and open-now status on every card.

Three ways to ask when.

Median treats time as a first-class input. Pick how you want to think about the trip and the engine models traffic for that exact moment — including reverse-solving departure when you've committed to an arrival.

Mode A

Now

LightModHeavy

Live traffic, leaving this minute. Best when you're already moving.

Mode B

Depart at 6:45 PM

Model the trip at a chosen departure time. Useful when you're planning ahead.

Mode C · Standout

Arrive by 7:30 PM

7:30 PM← solve6:52 PM

Back-calculates everyone's departure so traffic is modeled at the real time you'll be driving, not the time you tap "search."

Real-time search, labelled pins, tappable cards.

Google Places powers the search; Median layers it with category filters, cuisine subtypes, "You" + addressed pins, and inline photos, ratings, hours and price level.

Built to be sent, polished to feel native.

Every place card is share-ready, every output drops into a calendar, and the prototype lives inside a real iPhone frame with the small UX details that make mobile feel right.

iPhone-style mobile frame preview

The full app lives inside a polished device frame, so designs and demos feel native instead of like a web page in disguise.

02
iOS zoom-prevention on inputs

Every input uses 16px+ font sizes so Safari doesn't punch a zoom on focus — small detail, big native feel.

03
Persistent preferences in localStorage

Your last mode, addresses, and timing intent are remembered between sessions — open the app and pick up where you left off.

04
Traffic-aware everywhere

Every minute shown — for every person — is calculated against live or modeled traffic for the actual trip time.
