Bänkle – Bench & Rest Finder

Tired feet? Bänkle points a live compass at the nearest public bench and tells you how far it is. Just follow the arrow.

Bänkle finds public benches around you and points you straight to one.

Open the app and every nearby bench appears on the map, drawn from OpenStreetMap. Pick one and a live compass turns to keep pointing at it while the distance counts down as you walk — no need to stare at a map. A green check tells you the moment you arrive.

Exploring a new city on foot? Bänkle works anywhere OpenStreetMap has benches, so wherever you travel you always know where the next place to sit is.
