What Is PinScene?

PinScene is a real-time, community-driven map that shows what's happening near you right now. From local events and traffic incidents to weather alerts and civic reports. If it's happening nearby, it's on PinScene.

Think of it as a live layer over your city. Users drop pins on the map to share what they see: a road closure, a pop-up market, a food truck, a free giveaway, or just something worth knowing about. Other users confirm or clear those pins, so the most relevant updates rise to the top.

How It Works

PinScene combines real-time community reports with curated data feeds. Users can drop pins for anything happening around them, while our automated feeds pull in live data from sources like the National Weather Service, transit agencies, traffic systems, and event platforms like Ticketmaster and SeatGeek.

Every pin has a lifespan. User-created pins expire after a few hours (you choose: 2h, 6h, 12h, 24h, or 3 days). Event and alert pins update automatically as conditions change. This keeps the map fresh — what you see is what's happening now, not last week.

What Makes PinScene Different

  • Community-verified: Other users confirm or clear pins, so you can trust what you see.
  • Category filtering: Toggle between events, traffic, weather, transit, food, and more — see only what matters to you.
  • Privacy-first: No tracking, no selling your data. We use your location to show nearby pins, nothing more.
  • Open map data: Built on OpenStreetMap and self-hosted map tiles — no reliance on Big Tech map providers.

Who Runs PinScene?

PinScene is built and operated by 7H Ventures LLC, a Georgia-based technology company.
