Privacy
What’s your scene? has no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and it sets no cookies.
Your browser keeps your map and your light or dark setting in its local storage. Clearing this site’s data in your browser deletes them. Start over clears the map.
When you search or press Music recs, your browser sends what you typed to our server. Our server sends it through OpenRouter to two AI models: Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite by Google writes the map, and Jev by TypeSafe checks the names. When you make your Scene ID, our server sends the names on your map the same way to Gemini, which writes the scene name.
Our server keeps each map and each set of music recs for 30 days under the text you typed, and each scene name for 30 days under the names on the map. Anyone who types the same text gets the same stored map. The stored map does not say who asked for it.
To limit each visitor to 20 new searches a minute, our server holds your IP address in memory while it runs. It does not write your IP address to storage.
The Scene ID card is drawn in your browser. Download image and Send use your device; we do not receive the card. Copy link copies a link that holds your whole map, so anyone with the link can see it. Copy match link copies a link that holds your scene name and your whole map.
When you press Match, your browser sends the names on both maps to our server, and our server sends them through OpenRouter to Jev, which scores how close they are. We do not store the result. A match link you opened stays in your browser until you press Forget this match.
The Spotify, YouTube, Maps, Shop and Wikipedia buttons open those sites in a new tab with a search for the name. Those sites’ own privacy policies apply there.

Terms
What’s your scene? is a free web app made by Glenmore Studio, California.
AI models write the maps, and the maps can be wrong: a name that does not exist, a name in the wrong block, a shop that has closed. Check a name before you buy something or travel for it.
The names on a map belong to their owners. A name on a map is not an endorsement, and Glenmore Studio has no deal with any brand, artist, show or shop listed.
Your Scene ID card is yours to keep and share.
The site is provided as is, without warranties. To the extent the law allows, Glenmore Studio is not liable for damage from using it.
California law governs these terms.
Accessibility
What works with a keyboard:
Tab reaches every button, name, link and window. Enter or Space picks a name or opens one on your map.
In Scene match, each block’s score is written out (for example “Music: a lot in common”) as well as shown as 4 squares.
Each name in the blocks tells a screen reader whether it is on your map, and carries the short reason it fits.
The loading bar is a progress bar a screen reader can read.
The block headers use black text on colors with a contrast of 8.4:1 or more.
The site follows your system’s reduced motion setting: the home video shows one still frame and the blocks appear without animation.
Dark and light themes.
Known gaps: the Scene ID card is an image, and a screen reader hears only its scene name and count; the names on it are the ones on your map. On a large map the desktop view shrinks the map to fit, so its text gets smaller. We have not tested the site with a screen reader.
