Find your way - with EASE™

Before you go

What if you had a guide to a place’s social etiquette before you even walked in?

Right in your pocket.

That’s Before you go. Not just “is it loud,” but what kind of place it is, who it’s for, and what’ll be expected of you once you’re through the door.

Every place gets a short heads-up so nothing catches you off guard. It’s built with autistic and sensory-sensitive people in mind, and it helps anyone who’d rather know what they’re walking into.

The problem with star ratings

Five stars tells you the food is good. Not whether you’ll want to stay.

Reviews are written for people who already like crowds and noise. Ease is for figuring out how a place will feel to you — before you’ve driven there, parked, and talked yourself into going in.

Look up the places you already go.

Cafés, restaurants, parks, theaters, museums, stadiums. If it’s on the map, you can check it.

See the vibe, not just the stars.

People who visited rate the noise, the crowd, the lighting, and how much you’ll be expected to talk to strangers.

Tell it what today is for.

Some quiet time alone, a first date, a group hangout. Ease Match scores each place for that plan and your own comfort settings.

Go when it’s good.

The same coffee shop is a different place at 8am and at noon. Best Times shows you when it tends to be calmer — or busier, if that’s your thing.

Tell Ease what’s comfortable for you in the moment and it remembers.

Everybody’s “too much” or “just right” is different. Set what matters to you, and every place you search for gets matched against it, using your Ease score to show you how compatible a place is towards your specific choices.

The higher, the better suited.
The lower, maybe not the best fit.

The Ease beta

We’re opening Seattle one neighborhood at a time.

Ease only helps when places have real observations behind them, so we’re filling Seattle one neighborhood at a time, starting with West Seattle. Join the beta and start using Ease now. If your part of town is still quiet, your observations are what fill it in. Everything you add carries over when Ease launches.
