The shift
You shouldn't just wait at the airport.
You should experience it.
01
Time between security and the gate can feel like dead time.
You arrive early.
02
Gatemate shows what is near you, and how long you actually have.
You start looking around.
03
An installation, a counter, a window nobody else walked to.
You find something.
04
The wait becomes part of the trip instead of a gap in it.
Now you have a story.
Discovery
Every terminal hides more than a departure board.
Find what others miss.

The product
This is what Gatemate looks like.
One surface, designed to read the time you have left and turn it into somewhere to go, something to do and people doing the same.

The list on the right is what is near you right now — art, counters and views, ranked by what you can actually reach in the time you have left.
Social discovery
Discover your people.
People are part of the airport experience. Gatemate makes the travelers exploring the same terminal visible through what they have found, not who they are looking for.

FAQ
Questions before you join
What is Gatemate?
Gatemate is an airport passenger experience app designed to help travelers make better use of the time before boarding by discovering places, activities and experiences inside airports.
How does Gatemate work?
Gatemate helps passengers discover interesting things around their airport, explore experiences, complete activities and collect discoveries while they wait for boarding.
Is Gatemate a social app?
Gatemate includes a social layer built around travel identity: profiles, discoveries you collect and other travelers exploring the same airport. Social features are part of the product direction and are not all available yet.
Which airports will Gatemate support?
Gatemate will launch progressively, starting with selected airports before expanding to more locations.
Is Gatemate free?
Gatemate is designed as a free-to-use passenger experience. Final pricing and premium features, if any, will be announced before launch.
When will Gatemate launch?
Gatemate is currently preparing for launch. Join the early-access list to be among the first to receive launch updates.
Is Gatemate a navigation app?
No. Gatemate is primarily a discovery and passenger-experience platform. It helps users find interesting things to do and discover around the airport rather than functioning primarily as a conventional navigation app.
