This is exactly what we're building at Out Of Office. We've built a database of free and bookable spaces to work, meet, take calls, or take a break. We've collected all sorts of data you might find useful, like the number of seats, number of outlets, noise level, and other different amenities that we've rolled up into an 11-point score for each venue.

We've scouted thousands of coffee shops, hotel lobbies, parks, libraries, coworking, and other public spaces.

Right now we're only operating in San Francisco, but looking to expand to other cities in the future.

Are you planning on making your service available via your website? I'd be curious to look at it when you get down to the south bay, but there's a 0% chance I'm installing an app for something I have such a passing interest in.


We're focusing on mobile right now because finding a workspace is heavily dependent on where you are or where you need to be. We're a small scrappy team right now so we don't have the resources to build out a proper web experience that we'd be proud of. We'd love to build one in the future though!


FYI, LiquidSpace is doing similar work, and offers listings for both hourly rentals and monthly rentals.
