Move in. Settle faster. Trust the right sources.

SettleRoute is a no-account setup assistant for people who have just moved to a city. It helps you understand what to do, what to bring, where to start online, and how to avoid unreliable links.

The problem

Moving creates too many small decisions at once.

Healthcare, council records, transport, utilities, documents, banking, school tasks, and local support can all become urgent at the same time.

Search results often mix official sources, outdated pages, ads, forums, and third-party services.

The approach

SettleRoute turns setup into a calmer checklist.

The app gives users a practical starting point, explains why each task matters, shows what may be needed, and links to official sources when the user needs to continue.

How it works

Start with your situation, then follow the next useful step.

Users choose a profile such as student, worker, family, driver, needs support, or not sure. SettleRoute then highlights relevant tasks without asking for sensitive personal documents.
