Lore in your pocket.
Point. Listen. Wander.

The native app puts the docent in your hand. Raise your phone and the scanner ranks chronicled places in front of you, the real camera experience the web can only hint at.

Three verbs, one glance

The native app is built around what you actually do on the street, nothing more, nothing in the way.

Scan

Point the phone at a chronicled place. Its story appears in view.

Wander

A living map that blooms pins outward from wherever you stand.

Listen

A docent reads it aloud while you keep your eyes on the building.

Everything the street can tell you

Live AR scanner

GPS + compass in your hand, chips float on the real facades ahead, honest about direction and distance.

Audio narration

On-device narration reads the full story aloud while you keep your eyes on the place in front of you.

Visit journal and badges

Mark the places you visit, keep private notes and photos, and watch your city passport take shape.

Curated tours

Docent-paced walks, a note at every stop, in an order that makes the stories add up.

Context you can follow

Stories keep their available links and attribution close, so you can continue reading beyond Lore.

Cities and counting

Browse the cities already chronicled in Lore, with new places added as their editorial records are ready.

How it feels

01

You step off the plane

First night in a new city. You open Lore and it introduces the place, the city's name huge, one line: you're standing in 200 years of stories.

02

You point at the tower

No search box, no typing. An Amber reticle finds the building, a chip floats over it, name, year, the one fact worth telling a friend.

03

You keep walking

The docent reads the rest aloud. You look up, not down. Every cornice and plinth has been waiting for you to ask.
