About RangeBites
What it is
RangeBites helps you find food nearby. No account. Not a reservation. Not RangeBits. You must be 13 or older.
Tap Locate Me or search any city. Listings come from OpenStreetMap (ODbL); some chain hours come from AllThePlaces store-locator data (CC0). Both can be wrong or stale. The matching method is documented in the project's public source repository (tools/build-atp-hours.py and app.js). Directions open in Apple Maps or Google Maps. Reviews open in Google Maps. RangeBites does not invent hours, star ratings, or coupons.
Location
RangeBites does not store information about you on its servers; some choices are kept only on this device. Location is used only to show nearby places and is not saved. Locate Me keeps your coordinate in memory for this search only. This device may remember saved restaurants, range, filter choices, and distance units. Those stay on this device and are not sent. Filters includes Clear my saved data.
To fetch restaurants, our host’s proxy sends the search to OpenStreetMap services: Overpass (run by OpenStreetMap France) and, for a city you type, Nominatim (run by the OpenStreetMap Foundation). With Locate Me, that search includes your coordinates rounded to 3 decimal places, which still places you within about 100 m. Our host sees the search and your IP address; the Overpass and Nominatim servers receive the request from our host, not from your device. Map images come from tile.openstreetmap.de (FOSSGIS e.V.), which sees your IP and the map area you view.
RangeBites is a free site that tracks nobody. It does not use device codes, analytics identifiers, visitor tracking, or third-party analytics or trackers. It does not log page views or taps. RangeBites does not create or store a device identifier. A city search or Locate Me is used only during that search, then dropped.
Tap the heart to save a restaurant name and address on this device. That list is not a GPS trail.
Operator
RangeBites is designed, published, and operated by an individual website developer in Virginia, USA (the “Operator”), not a restaurant. Use of RangeBites is subject to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
