Check real-time availability of local businesses, government offices, and services before you step out.
Save time, fuel, and frustration by checking real-time status updates.
Three simple steps to save time and avoid wasted trips.
Enter the name of the shop, pharmacy, or office you want to visit.
Instantly see if it's OPEN or CLOSED based on real-time updates.
If you are at the location, update the status to help others save time.
People don’t suffer because shops have fixed timings.
They suffer because availability is unclear in real life.
This project focuses only on real-time clarity, not bookings, management, or assumptions.
We don't rely on "9 AM - 5 PM" charts. We check what's happening NOW.
Old updates vanish automatically to prevent misleading data.
Real people nearby update the status for everyone's benefit.
We'd rather tell you we don't know than lie to you.
How we ensure that the "Open" or "Closed" status you see is reliable and not spam.
We don't ask for logins to keep it fast, but we log an anonymous hash of the user's IP address for every update.
A single user can only update the status of the same place once every 10 minutes. This prevents spamming or malicious toggling.
If multiple people update a place, the most recent confirmation is shown. However, if a place gets conflicting updates rapidly, we flag it as "Uncertain".
if (user.lastUpdate < 10_MINUTES) {
blockUpdate("Rate limit exceeded");
} else {
acceptUpdate();
logIPHash(user.ip);
}
