Every street has stories. Hereabouts finds the ones around you and turns them into a walk. AROUND YOU Wherever you are, Hereabouts shows the places nearby — temples, markets, old streets, landmarks — each with its story, how far it is, and a street-level look before you go. Stories come from Wikipedia, with authors and licences credited. STORY WALKS Pick a walk and Hereabouts strings nearby places into a route with a theme. Put your phone away: when you reach the next stop it buzzes and shows you what you're standing in front of. Afterwards, a recap of where you went. DAYS AND TRIPS Plan today, tomorrow or a whole trip. Each day becomes a story line — morning, afternoon and evening, each in its own part of town. Move places between days, add the ones you've saved, and start again from where you are. TAKE IT OFFLINE Save a day before you go, with its photos, stories and walking routes, so it still works without signal. MADE FOR WALKING • Works in any city, not just one • English, 日本語 and 繁體中文 • Location is used only to find what's around you, and in the background only during a walk you start • No account, no ads On supported devices, Apple Intelligence writes short summaries on the device, from the article text alone.
