How it works

Press start. Go. Listen as you arrive.

01

Pick a route

Runs and walks in cities from New York to Tokyo, each route checked for sidewalks and safe crossings.

02

Lock your phone

Start the tour, put your phone away and go. Tours download first, so they play without a signal.

03

Hear each place

As you reach each stop, a narrator tells its story. Your music drops down, then comes back after.

Real places, real stories

The record set on that corner. The bridge that nearly wasn't built.

Made for moving

Built for the run, not the couch.

Timed to your pace

Set your running or walking pace and each story starts as you reach its place.

Every fact checked

Stories are researched and independently fact-checked against sources. When something is a legend, we say so.

Your music stays on

Music drops down while a story plays and comes back after. Every tour has a soundtrack you can open in Spotify.

Works offline

A tour downloads to your phone before you start, so it plays without a connection.

Earn the stamp

Finish a route and its city stamp is yours. Run it. Learn it. Earn the stamp.

Location only on tour

"While Using the App" is all it needs, and location stops the moment you end the tour.

Good first tours.
