EARLY DAYS: Founder Lifetime is a one-time purchase. Premium pricing will change as we grow; founders keep access forever.
Every road has a story. History Drive-By turns any drive into a guided tour of the history hiding along your route. Historic sites, local lore, and detours actually worth taking.
Enter where you're headed and the app scouts the road ahead. As you drive, stories surface when they're coming up: the gold-rush town two exits away, the landmark behind that roadside marker you always pass, the heritage railroad fifteen minutes off the highway.
HOW IT WORKS
• Plan any drive — from your morning commute to a cross-country road trip
• Stories stream in along the route: historic sites, area history, and roadside attractions
• Each detour shows the minutes it adds, so you can decide at a glance
• Photos and sources included — tap any story to see where it comes from
• Your logbook keeps every drive and every find
GROUNDED, NOT MADE UP
Every story is built from real, cited sources. Wikipedia, the National Register of Historic Places, OpenStreetMap, and automatically checked against those sources before it reaches your screen. If we can't back it up, we don't show it.
