HowClose

HowClose helps you answer a simple question: *How close is this location to the places that matter to me?* Whether you're house hunting, comparing neighborhoods, or checking a new address against your regular spots, HowClose scores any location against your personal list of favorites. **Build your favorites list** Add specific places (an address, a business, or a map pin), or add categories like "Starbucks" or "grocery store" that resolve to the nearest match near each location you're evaluating. **Compare saved locations** Save candidate addresses or properties and see an aggregate distance score, walkability count, and bikeability count at a glance. Lower scores mean you're closer to more of what you care about. **Use your current location** Open Compare → Current Location to score where you are right now against your selected favorites. **Real travel distances** HowClose uses Apple's routing APIs for driving, walking, and biking distances and estimated travel times — not just straight-line guesses. **Share with others** Send favorites or saved locations to family or friends via AirDrop. They can import them directly into HowClose on their iPhone. **Navigate there** Tap any resolved favorite to open directions in Google Maps or Apple Maps. **You control the list** Choose which favorites count toward each score, set weights, configure walk/bike thresholds, and drag favorites into the order you prefer. HowClose stores your favorites and locations on your device. No account required.
