What NoGuri is

Tired of walking into a cloud of cigarette smoke? NoGuri shows you where people are smoking nearby. Steer clear, and breathe cleaner air.

NoGuri is for avoiding smoke, not for finding somewhere to smoke. A mark describes a place, never a person.

How it works

Everything on the map was put there by someone who ran into it.

Real-time smoke map

See the smoke before you get there

Open the map and nearby smoke is already on it, with how far away each spot is. Official no-smoking zones from public records show up too, even before you sign in.

Clean-air walking routes

Steers around the heaviest smoke

Ask for a clean-air route and you'll see it next to the fastest one. Each says how many smoke marks it passes.

Two walking routes between the same two points: the shorter one passes three smoke marks, the clean-air one goes around them

Mark & share

Mark exactly where it happened

Drop a mark where it happened, pick what you found, and add a tag like “near an entrance” if it helps. There is no free text and no photos, so a mark can only ever describe a place.

Keep it accurate together

Old marks don't stick around

Marks fade as they get older, then expire on their own. Confirm one that's still right, or report one that isn't. Three reports and it's gone.

What's on the map

Four kinds of mark, each with a different lifespan. You add the first three. No-smoking zones come from public records.

  • Smoke Spotted

    Someone's smoking right now — smoke in the air.

    Gone after about 6 hours

  • Cigarette Butt

    Cigarette litter or a butt hotspot.

    Gone after about 3 days

  • Smoking Area

    A spot where people regularly smoke.

    Long-lived

  • No-Smoking Zone

    Official no-smoking zones from public records.

    Always on the map

Who it's for

  • Non-smokers who want to avoid secondhand smoke
  • Parents walking with kids or strollers
  • People with asthma or respiratory sensitivity
  • Anyone who cares about cleaner air

Privacy

Look around without an account

Official zones from public records are visible. Marks other people left need an account; yours are kept on this device until you sign in.

For users aged 14 and over.

  • No ads, no tracking

    No ads, and no advertising or tracking IDs. We don't use third-party analytics or crash reporting either.

  • Foreground location only

    Location updates only while the app is open. NoGuri never collects location in the background.

  • What a mark can say

    Report locations, not people. Never identify or target individuals. Marks carry no free text and no photos.
