Facilities on the Map & Invite-Only Access

See what's around each listing — toggle MRT stations, bus stops, hawker centres, parks, schools, clinics, and places of worship directly on the map. Sign-ups are now invite-gated as we prepare for a wider public release.

What you can do:

• Explore nearby amenities – Toggle facility layers on the map to see MRT stations (colour-coded by line), bus stops, hawker centres, parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and places of worship near any listing
• Controlled sign-up flow – New accounts are reviewed before gaining access; you'll see a holding page after email verification while your account is being approved

Bug Fixes & Polish:

• Transactional emails (verification, TOTP setup) refreshed with a cleaner design

Heads up: We're preparing for an open public release. Some features may be gated behind an account during this period as we run trials — that's why sign-ups now go through an approval step. If you'd like early access, reach out at [email protected] and we'll get you in.

Supported browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari (desktop recommended)
