Der Pendler matches commuters whose recurring routes and time windows overlap — so daily driving costs go down, traffic eases, and no one has to plan a thing. Not a taxi. Not Uber. Just everyday commuting, shared.
Tell the app where you commute from and to, your departure window, and any flexibility on pickup or drop-off zones.
The route-intersection engine compares your geography and time window against other commuters — no AI, no guesswork.
Passenger requests, driver approves, PIN handshake at pickup. Payment is settled automatically when both confirm completion.
Email, Google, Apple login with optional Face ID / fingerprint unlock for trusted devices.
Be a driver, a passenger, or both — switch at any time with one tap.
Lightweight geometric matching of polylines + time windows. Predictable, debuggable, fast.
Counters for available rides, pending requests, and upcoming commutes — everything one tap away.
Both users exchange a 4-digit code at pickup to confirm identity and activate the ride.
Passenger covers ~⅔ of fuel cost. Platform keeps a flat €0.10 per ride.
Carpooling lives or dies on trust. Der Pendler adds two layers that don't get in the way of daily use: verified identity on signup, and a PIN handshake at every single pickup. If the codes don't match, the ride doesn't start.
Tap through a typical commuter flow — sign in, set your route, find a match, do the PIN handshake, complete the ride.
Share the commute you already drive.
You can switch any time.
Both of you confirm with a 4-digit code. The ride only activates when codes match.
Both of you confirmed. Payment was processed automatically.
This is a clickable prototype — flows and data are illustrative. Production targets are Flutter + Firebase + Google Maps, as specified in the brief.
