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.
Around Me
Find places near your current location — for when you're already out and need somewhere within walking or a short drive.
Around There
Drop a pin anywhere — a hotel, a venue, a future home — and Median surfaces what's nearby before you ever leave.
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.
Now
Live traffic, leaving this minute. Best when you're already moving.
Depart at 6:45 PM
Model the trip at a chosen departure time. Useful when you're planning ahead.
Arrive by 7:30 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.
Caravan Coffee & Wine
The full app lives inside a polished device frame, so designs and demos feel native instead of like a web page in disguise.
Every input uses 16px+ font sizes so Safari doesn't punch a zoom on focus — small detail, big native feel.
Your last mode, addresses, and timing intent are remembered between sessions — open the app and pick up where you left off.
Every minute shown — for every person — is calculated against live or modeled traffic for the actual trip time.
