Built for quick orientation

Intersector tells you about nearby mapped intersections and the direction you are facing. Find the information you need using the iPhone app, Apple Watch companion app, or Siri Shortcuts.

Nearest Intersection

Hear the closest mapped intersection to your current location, with options to hear the second and third closest intersections.

Upcoming Intersection

Use your current heading to hear the mapped intersection ahead, with options to hear the next two intersections after that.

Scan Mode

Point the phone toward nearby mapped intersections in your immediate area and receive spoken and optional haptic feedback.

My Direction

Hear the direction the device is facing, with wording that can follow standard compass language or Manhattan Snob Mode.

Custom Announcements

Choose whether announcements include distance, direction, and neighborhood details so repeated information stays useful.

Apple Watch

Find your nearest or upcoming intersection and check your direction from the companion Apple Watch app.

Accessibility first

Intersector is designed around VoiceOver-first use, with large full-width controls, Dynamic Type-friendly text, native SwiftUI interface patterns, spoken updates, Apple Watch support, and optional haptic feedback.

Siri Shortcuts

Use built-in App Shortcuts for common actions, including finding the nearest, upcoming, second, and third intersections; checking My Direction; and starting Scan Mode on iPhone. You can also create custom phrases in the Shortcuts app.

Privacy and map data

Intersector uses location and heading information to provide intersection, direction, crossing, walking-path, and optional neighborhood context. It does not create accounts, sell personal information, show ads, or intentionally collect analytics.

Map and neighborhood context comes from OpenStreetMap through Overpass. OpenStreetMap data is available under the Open Database License.
