Stourk vs Levende

Your photos already know where you have been. Stourk reads only the date and place stored with them and turns the whole collection into a journey: a stork carrying your memories across an illustrated atlas, city by city, year by year. WATCH THE JOURNEY Choose a year, or your whole life, and watch the places become a route. The map is a printed atlas, not a satellite view; the route is drawn as the shortest arc between the places your photos know. Scrub through it, jump to a moment, and see the photographs from that stop as you pass. THE POST Every city you stayed in writes to you. Its letter is addressed by hand, stamped with the city's own postage, and postmarked by the Stourk postal service. Tear one open and the city's own note comes out first, then the photographs from that city. THE PASSPORT Every country you entered is stamped into a passport: rubber ink, struck askew, dated. Turn the pages. Tilt your iPhone and the pages keep a surprise for you. THE CASE Journeys earn luggage labels. They stick to a suitcase you keep. KEEPSAKES Save a journey as a poster or a short film, and share it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Stourk has no account, no server and no analytics. It reads photo dates and locations on your iPhone, keeps what it builds there, and never uploads a photograph or a place. Your library is read-only to it. Clear the local data whenever you like; Stourk will not read your library again until you ask. The only network traffic is the map itself, vector tiles from OpenFreeMap with data from OpenStreetMap contributors, and, for a photo that lives only in iCloud, that photo from Apple. English and Turkish.

Levende brings your kids' drawings to life. Scan the drawing from the fridge, and Levende cuts out the figure, gives it a skeleton and makes it wave, walk, jump and dance. Put several figures together on a stage, or stand them on the kitchen table in AR, and record a video you can keep and send to Grandma. Draw a car, a bus or a train, and it drives round the stage on turning wheels. Everything happens on your iPhone or iPad. Drawings, photos and videos are never uploaded: no account, no cloud, no tracking and no ads. Your kids' drawings stay theirs. HOW IT WORKS • Scan a drawing with the camera, take a photo or pick a picture • The figure is cut out automatically – touch it up with the brush if an arm is missing • Levende finds the head, arms and legs and gives the figure a skeleton you can adjust by dragging the dots • Pick from 20 moves: wave, walk, run, jump, dance, dab, jump rope, boxing, float, zombie and more • Cars, buses and trains: Levende finds the wheels, and they drive round the stage, honk and do wheelies • Print a figure as a paper puppet: cut it out, join it with split pins and pull the string • Tap the floor and the figure walks there • Music and sound effects – turn each on or off • Tap the figures you want to dance and give each its own move • 13 sample drawings to try, and a short guide to drawing a figure that can dance • Put several figures on the stage and pick a background: paper, garden, night or studio • AR: stand the figures on your table or floor and pinch to make them bigger • Record a video and save it to Photos or share it • On iPad the stage gets the whole big screen, with every move right beside it PAY ONCE. THAT'S IT. Levende costs a small one-time price: every feature and every future update, with no ads and no subscription. The extra app icons and a silly little game are included for everyone. Levende works in English, Danish, Japanese, German, French, Spanish and Korean.
