Approve
Coworkers claim the same site, and you approve them from your dashboard. We email them as soon as they’re in.
Sign in with your official organization email and you can start editing right away. Other emails are confirmed by Jinship, usually within a day.
your listing
Everything people need before they head out.
Each section saves on its own and shows up on the public map as soon as you save.
Food, showers, restrooms, charging, wheelchair access, and how people get in. These become the map’s filters, so people can find the right place before they make their way over.
Weekly hours, split shifts, and dates you’ll be closed. The map uses them to show “Open now” and “Opens at” on your card. Especially important during winter weather alerts when longer hours go in effect.
Location details
Address, a public phone number, and how to find the entrance.
Your team
See who can edit, approve new coworkers, and remove people who have moved on.
what visitors see
Your listing, the way the public sees it.
Every place gets its own page with today’s status, hours, how to get in, and where the information came from.
built for trust
We keep watching, and you stay in charge.
Our monitor checks the official pages that describe your site. It fills gaps, but it never overrides you.
Every change has a receipt.
Each update records what changed, who changed it, and where it came from: your staff, the official page, or our team.
