## What is Lorelight?

History's greatest stories, as short painted films for the evening.

Every night one new story opens: a few minutes, a narrator who draws you in, and a lesson to keep. Light your lamp, watch, and you're done.

Slip inside the Trojan Horse, watch Queen Cleopatra dissolve her pearl, cross the Alps with the general Hannibal, march on Moscow with Emperor Napoleon and land on the Moon with Apollo 11. The Atlas flies you to where it happened.

WATCH
• Cinematic, painted films about history and philosophy
• A narrator and subtitles, in a growing number of languages
• Turn your phone for the full picture

KEEP
• Every story ends with a lesson for your own life, in a single line
• Keep the lessons that matter to you and add a note of your own
• A short quiz after the film, if you feel like it

EXPLORE
• The Atlas: turn the globe, open a region and fly down to the places where the stories happened
• Meet the people in each story
• Inside Stories: longer films that tell the same story from someone else's point of view, in chapters

YOUR LAMP
Each evening you watch, your lamp is lit. My lamp keeps your nights, your lessons and your notes. Your lessons and notes stay on your device.

WHAT'S HERE TODAY
Every evening there is a new story, and by now there are dozens. Painted films about history and philosophy, each with a lesson that stays with you. The app itself speaks nine languages; narration and subtitles are added story by story, so not every story is available in every language yet.

LORELIGHT+
The Trojan Horse is free to watch. Lorelight+ opens every story and every Inside Story. Choose a yearly plan with a 7-day free trial, a monthly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

The films are painted with the help of AI and told with synthetic voices. Every story is written, checked and directed by us.
