- What is Awl, On Us?
- A free random restaurant picker (some people call it a random restaurant generator). Instead of a group chat going back and forth on where should we eat, Awl, On Us finds nearby restaurants, cafes, and bars and rolls one for you to try.
- Why does it need my location?
- Awl, On Us finds restaurants, cafes, and bars near you, so it needs to know roughly where you are to search. It can't pick a nearby spot without it. If you'd rather not share your location, you can drop a pin on the map manually instead, and the app will search around that point.
- Where does restaurant data come from?
- From OpenStreetMap, a free, community-edited map of the world. Because volunteers maintain it, listings are sometimes outdated — a place might have closed or its hours might be wrong. If you spot something incorrect, openstreetmap.org is the canonical place to fix it, and the correction will eventually flow through to this app.
- Is it free?
- Yes. There's no cost and no account needed — just open the app and go.
- Can I choose miles or kilometers?
- Yes. There's a Miles / Kilometers toggle in the filters panel, right next to the search radius slider.
