Real cards from real walks

Real places.
Their stories.

Word for word from the screens above. Each story is written by AI from OpenStreetMap and Wikidata facts, told like a friend would, and distilled to the one thing worth knowing.

Elizabeth Tower

Most people don't realize they've never actually seen "Big Ben" — that's just the nickname for the massive bell hidden inside, not the tower itself. The tower's official name is Elizabeth Tower, renamed in 2012 to honor the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

The Burghers of Calais

Six men walking to their own execution, ropes already around their necks — that's what Rodin captured here, and what gets me every time is that he refused to put them on a pedestal.

Winston Churchill

Most people don't realize that when Churchill's statue was put up in 1973, he'd already been dead for nearly a decade — almost like the city finally got around to saying sorry for taking so long.

What you get

A guide for wherever you happen to be.

No itinerary to follow and no tour to book. Explore a new city, rediscover your own neighbourhood, or take a different route home. Waymark helps you notice the history hiding in plain sight.

Stories as you walk

Tap Start exploring and keep the app open. When you pass a landmark, a memorial or a corner worth knowing about, a short story slides up.

Ask your guide

Tap Tell me more to ask follow-up questions about the place in front of you: who built it, what happened there, why it matters.

Listen while you walk

Tap the speaker and the story is read aloud in your phone's own voice, so your eyes can stay on the street.

Every walk, saved

Your discoveries are kept on your phone and grouped by walk, with the places you passed and the stories you heard, ready to revisit.

No account. No ads. No tracking across apps or sites. Your location is used only while you're exploring, to find nearby places. Your discoveries and chat history are stored on your phone. See the Privacy Policy for the details.
