Why did we make this app?
Mrs. Owl was getting frustrated not being able to find status-free outlets online. AI apps and search engines don’t show all matching business results. StatusNearMe has been created with community input (there’s that word-of-mouth again!) and careful data picking.
What the app does
Talk or type
Powered by an in-app AI owl trained on how people actually talk — including everyday Indigenous and Status-community phrasing. Say “status gas,” “rez fuel,” or “gas to Calgary.” Filters switch for you.
Your language, your way
Search and read the app in English or French — speak it or type it. Prefer typing in Cree (nêhiyawêwin) or Inuktitut? That’s welcome too for on-screen text. Voice is ready for English and French; Cree and Inuktitut stay keyboard-friendly for now — no pressure, just more ways to feel at home in the app.
Your privacy first
We do not collect Status Card numbers. Search works on your device. You stay in control of location permission.
An owl that gets Indigenous everyday English
StatusNearMe runs an in-app trained AI assistant (the owl) built for how we talk day to day — not a generic chatbot that only understands corporate search terms. Made for Indigenous and Status Indian travellers.
Ask it something real, like:
Where can I get rez gas?
The owl doesn’t freeze on jargon. It hears
on-reserve / Status fuel,
flips the type menu to Gas, and shows
stations near you — with GPS. Try “rez fuel” or “tax-free gas” too; same idea, same
translation.
- Understands plain talk, slang, and place-first questions
- Switches type filters (gas, retail, services) when your words imply them
- Stays on-device for the assistant experience — no Status Card numbers, ever
Informational only — not tax advice. Confirm exemption and process at each pump.

I'm assuming you mean on-reserve / Status fuel (“rez gas”). Switched type to Gas.

Plan Status gas stops along the way
For road trips: tell the owl where you’re going. StatusNearMe finds Status-relevant gas stations along the real road corridor — not random pins in the bush — then hands the multi-stop route to the maps app you already use.
Try something like:
Status gas from Williams Lake to Alexis Creek
or
Status gas to Calgary
.
Confirm with the owl, pick Google Maps or
Waze, and you’re off — pump to pump, with
the route already built.
- Corridor search along the drive, not a straight-line guess only
- Multiple Status gas stops ordered for the trip
- Opens Google Maps or Waze with the planned waypoints
- Works with the same privacy rules — no Status Card numbers collected
Informational only — not tax advice. Confirm exemption and process at each pump.
