We built ClearSpot so nobody has to move blind again.
One day we were house-hunting. The view was postcard-perfect. What we could not see: three wind turbines planned 480 m away, a pollen-heavy grove at the edge of the garden, and a motorway that turned the night into a sustained 62 dB hum. By the time we understood, the paperwork was signed.
Why
Environmental exposure is not abstract. It is headaches, poor sleep, allergies flaring up, a baby crying at 3 a.m. because of low-frequency noise. Each of those sources has open public data. Cross-referencing them is a weekend project for an engineer - and completely out of reach for someone who is just trying to choose where to live, work, or send their kids to school.
ClearSpot exists because we want that information to be one tap away, in plain language, for everyone. No dashboards. No spreadsheets. A single verdict: clear, or not clear, and why.
How
We fetch open datasets from governments, research agencies and citizen networks. We normalise them to a common grid, tag each cell with a severity score tuned to the sensitivities you declared during onboarding, then we render the result on a globe you can rotate with a finger.
Die gesamte Pipeline ist nachvollziehbar: Die Seite Über uns listet jede Quelle auf, die Leitfäden unter Datenquellen erklären die Schwellen, und das Backoffice führt ein Crawl-Protokoll. Wir erfinden keine Zahlen. Wenn die Evidenz umstritten ist, wie oft bei Infraschall von Windturbinen, sagen wir das und verlinken widersprüchliche Studien.
What
A free web app, PWA-installable, that tells you in under two seconds whether the spot under your feet is clear or not. It is not a medical tool. It is a map and a conversation starter.
Everything on ClearSpot is GDPR-first. Your sensitivity profile stays on your device unless you explicitly create an account. We log no location without your consent. The site runs on a tiny VPS in Europe, with no third-party tracker beyond the analytics you opt in to.
