Field notes
The page describes benches as community-submitted places, with contributors able to add a view photo and name alongside the seat’s direction. Filters cover both landscape and mood, while the sky screen is said to pair sunset timing with cloud conditions and optional reminders. The site lists five interface languages and says the app has no ads or analytics.
