"like a guide whispering in your ear"

№ 01 — How it works

A guidebook that reads itself.

01

It knows where you are

Quiet GPS listens for landmarks within your chosen radius — from 100 m to a kilometre.

02

It tells you the story

A short, well-written narration plays through your headphones. No swiping, no screens.

03

You keep walking

Phone in your pocket, eyes on the city. Stories pause and resume as you wander.

"We made Nearby Tales for the kind of traveler who would rather feel a city than photograph it."
