# Modemix

> Biking to transit, made effortless.

Modemix is a free mobile navigation app that combines cycling with public transit to cut door-to-door travel times. By biking the first and last legs of a trip — the segments where walking or waiting for a bus is slowest — Modemix makes public transit dramatically faster. It routes riders along protected bike lanes and quiet streets for safer cycling.

- Turns slow walk segments at the start and end of transit trips into quick bike rides.

## Free tools

- [Mask Image Editor](https://modemix.io/mask-image-editor) — a free online mask editor. Brush a mask over part of a photo and change the saturation, exposure, contrast, hue, or warmth of only that area. It does what Lightroom's local adjustment brush does for those five adjustments, in a browser tab, with no install, subscription, or account; it does not do RAW processing, catalogs, presets, or tone curves. No signup, no watermark, and no upload: it runs entirely in the browser, so images stay on the user's device. Exports full-resolution PNG. Works with mouse, touch, and stylus.
