## What is Strata History?

The ground you are standing on has 2,000 years stacked under it. Most of it is invisible. Strata digs it up.

Press one button and Strata reads your exact position, searches open historical archives, ancient gazetteers, and the geologic record around you, then writes the story of your spot - battles, temples, castles, iron furnaces, famous lives, and the rock beneath your shoes - as one readable, cited narrative.

WHAT YOU GET
• One story, three rings: right where you stand, within a short walk, and the land around you — each told from deepest past to present
• Six eras, color-coded everywhere: deep time, prehistoric, ancient, medieval, early modern, modern
• Every fact cited. Sources are listed with their distance from you, one tap from the original record
• A map of everything you've discovered, pinned and filterable by era
• Photographs of the sites around you as you read
• A journal of every spot you've ever dug - yours to revisit offline, forever

Your first dig of any spot takes a moment while the story is written; after that it's instant, for you and for everyone who ever stands there after you.

HONEST BY DESIGN
Narratives are AI-synthesized exclusively from cited open sources (Wikipedia and Wikidata contributors CC BY-SA, Macrostrat geology). Passages of general era background are clearly marked "period context" - Strata never invents records of your exact spot.

PRIVACY
Your location is used while the app is open - that's the whole product. Your exact position stays on your phone; digs are shared by neighborhood-sized square, never by your footprints.

Stand somewhere old. Ask what happened here.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-09-14*

This app is legit. So cool to be able to see what has happened in the place you’re currently at or where you want to go. Also a little freaky when find out a dark history about the place, haha. Totally enjoy this and can’t wait to use it more often. Highly recommend it to anyone.

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP!!!

*2026-09-14*

What a fun and fascinating app! It has been so much fun opening it wherever I am and discovering the history of the exact place I’m standing. I’ve learned so many fascinating stories and facts I never would have known otherwise.

It’s also such a conversation starter! I’ll pull it up and suddenly everyone around me wants to know what happened there too. It turns an ordinary place into something fascinating and makes you look at places you’ve been a hundred times in a completely different way.

I keep finding myself opening it just to see what I might discover next. Such a cool concept and such a fun way to experience history. So cool!!

### 5/5 — Such a cool app!

*2026-09-12*

I absolutely love this app! It’s such a cool concept being able to see the history of the exact place you’re standing and learn about what happened there in the past. It makes exploring new places and even places you’ve been a hundred times, so much more interesting. I’ve already found myself opening it just to see what history is around me. I would definitely recommend this app to everyone. Such a fun and unique way to experience history!
