Benches with a view. And the minute the light is best.
Bench Spotter is a map of benches worth sitting on — the ones with a sunset in front of them, a view, a coffee across the street — and it knows when the light on each one is at its best.
Tap a bench
It faces the sunset. Bench Spotter works out the sun for that exact spot and tells you when it sets right in front of it.
The sun today
Sunrise, golden hour, sunset — and which benches face them. A quiet nudge before the best light, if you want one.
Find by vibe
View, sunset, water, quiet, coffee, nature, cozy, city, mountains. Around you — or anywhere in the world.
Add your own
One tap when you're on a bench: the compass remembers where it faces, a photo shows what you see.
After dark
The whole app follows the sun where you are: warm at golden hour, blue after dark.
Solar palette
The sky in the app
Every screen is painted by the height of the sun where you are: night, dawn, golden hour, day. Nothing is a flat white — and there's a dark theme too.
Spotted
10 out of 10 bench views
Real benches, real light — the kind people film and post. Every one of these is a pin on the map, with the minute its light is best.
What it does
Made for sitting outside
Which way it faces
Every bench remembers its direction. Sunset in front of it at 20:49 — not somewhere behind your back. First light, too.
Clear or cloudy
A cloud forecast for that hour, so you know the sky will be worth the walk.
Check in, save, review
Mark that you sat here, keep the bench, tell about it. Come back and see who else sat there.
