RoamBuffer

Spare time, without the scramble

The delay changed. Your return time doesn’t have to.

RoamBuffer turns an early arrival, unexpected delay, or free hour into a nearby mini-itinerary—and protects the time you need to get back.

Estimated walking times use straight-line distance with a conservative route multiplier. This is not live navigation.

Built for the real travel moment

Useful when plans go sideways.

RoamBuffer stays honest about provider fallback, unverified opening hours, and conservative estimated walking times.

01

Buffer first

The planner removes return time before it considers a stop.

02

Nearby, not maximal

One to three stops keep the plan legible and the return realistic.

03

Useful offline

The application shell and your explicitly saved plan stay on this browser.

What’s next

Broader coverage, same return discipline.

International location coverage is planned after this U.S.-only hackathon release. The country allowlist is intentionally structured so coverage can expand without changing the return-safe planner.
