TRACKS vs tiny social

Tracks is a new app specially designed for audiowalks. Audiowalks are guided walks thoughtfully combined with the sensory attention of listening. With Tracks, discover a variety of sound artists and the walks they create seamlessly with your smartphone. Search by keyword to find your ideal Track, orient yourself on the interactive map, and share your experience with a community of audiowalkers. Audiowalks offer stories, music, sound experiments, and all kinds of sensory information you might otherwise miss. Sight, scent, and feeling are present, but sounds take the lead. This modulates one's usual sense of body and consciousness, promoting a new understanding of the environment. With every step, hear the artist play with sound, experiment with composition, and lead you to new perceptions. Think of a film, where sound and image are strongly linked and controlled by the artist. In audiowalks, the 'point of view' becomes the 'point of hearing'. Tracks is a further development of ‘Soundtrackcity’, the app for soundwalks that Roeland Landegent already developed for Soundtrackcity in 2013. In summer 2020, Jubilee artist Justin Bennett initiated a collaboration with Soundtrackcity, which led to the idea of an application that unites the audiowalks produced by art organisations in Brussels and Amsterdam: Jubilee, Beursschouwburg, BNA-BBOT, Overtoon, Q-O2, and Soundtrackcity. The result is Tracks – an app for audiowalks. Put on your headphones and get walking!

Social media without doomscrolling. tiny social is a small browser for Instagram, YouTube, and X that removes the parts designed to keep you scrolling, and keeps the parts you actually came for. Pick a site, give yourself a few minutes, and when time’s up, it tells you. INSTAGRAM • Your feed is the people you follow, newest first • No Reels tab. Reels sent to you won’t roll on to the next one • Explore keeps the search; the bait grid is removed YOUTUBE • Shorts are gone, including from search results • No suggestion rail beside what you’re watching • No autoplaying previews on the home screen X • Home is the Following tab, never “For You” • No algorithmic short-form video. You won’t roll on to the next one SESSIONS, NOT STREAKS Before you open a site, you pick how long you’re staying. When time’s up, you get told. The home screen shows today’s opens and minutes, so you can see your own patterns. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account, no server, nothing to sign up for. Every session is written to a file inside the app and read back by the counters on the home screen. You sign in to sites with your own accounts, the same way you would in any browser. Those logins live in the app’s own storage, separate from your other browsers, and deleting the app clears them. You can erase your session history from inside the app at any time.
