I just got a new(ish) phone and am reinstalling all of the apps that I used to have on my old phone, and I remember that there was an app out there where I could type in an address, and then it would auto-open OSM by passing in the geo-coordinates. I cannot find this app again for the life of me. Does anyone have any idea where I can find this?

I think this other app used different source data for addresses (eg Google Maps or Mapbox API) because OSM business and address data is often very out of date and incomplete
