1.3M+ stories are waiting. Explore local lore, cultural treasures, and make your own history — pin personal milestones and memorialize the Lives of those who shaped you. Places have a lot to say. Wrinkles lets them speak up. Walk the cobbled streets of Rome, the grand boulevards of Paris, the bustling avenues of New York, or the quiet courtyards of Kyoto, and hear the hidden stories of the places you encounter revealed to you in real-time. STORIES THAT FIND YOU Wrinkles uses your location to automatically surface stories about the places around you, both in your ear and on your phone. Explore any city, town, or archeological site, and Wrinkles will uncover in-the-moment insights about the places you pass, from the cultural treasures of Cairo, Egypt, to the ruins of Ephesus, Turkey. Wrinkles is like having a local expert to everywhere, walking stride for stride with you anywhere, sharing remarkable stories about the nearby landmarks, buildings, monuments, and hidden places most people walk right past. ASK AWAY Wrinkles is a conversational guide to the physical world powered by AI, so if you want to learn more about a point of interest, go for it—ask a follow-up question (or 3). Wrinkles replies in real-time with encyclopedic knowledge about everything from where the water in the Trevi Fountain comes from to where to find a great carbonara around the corner. BUILD A TOUR INSTANTLY Want a guided tour built just for you? Wrinkles can generate a walking tour in seconds. Plan your tour ahead of your next trip or generate one spontaneously with a single tap. Simply choose a place and a topic, and Wrinkles will design a route and narrate each stop along the way as you walk. Create tours tailored to your interests, like: • an architectural tour of Barcelona • a folk music tour of Greenwich Village • a Renaissance tour of Florence • a Cold War tour of Berlin Wrinkles maps the route, organizes the stops, and shares the story behind each place as you arrive—turning any walk into a guided tour, even in your hometown. EXPLORE THE WORLD Browse the interactive map to discover stories anywhere on earth. From ancient ruins in Pompeii to historic temples and landmarks in Kyoto, Wrinkles lets you explore places before you visit — or discover them while walking. Over 1,300,000 points of interest worldwide. CREATE YOUR OWN WRINKLES Wrinkles isn’t just for discovery. It’s where you too can leave a lasting impression on the world. Unlike other social media platforms, Wrinkles lets you make your mark by tying your posts to the specific location on the map. You can share personal histories like where you got engaged with family and friends, or share public posts about the places you love with the world, including: • the best place for tapas in Seville • the best wine bar in Athens • a hidden gem in Hollywood • your favorite Van Gogh in Amsterdam Your stories become part of the map — visible to friends, family, or the public. BUILD & SHARE YOUR PERSONAL CITY GUIDE AUTOMATICALLY Save the places you love and Wrinkles organizes them automatically so that you can share them with friends. No more scattered notes, lists of links, or long texts of recommendations. Every landmark, museum, hidden street, or historic site you bookmark is instantly organized into a clean, shareable city guide. Your profile becomes a collection of the cities you've explored — from the cultural confluence of Istanbul to belle époque buildings in Buenos Aires, to the vibrant streets of Mexico City. Planning a trip with friends or family? Simply share your guide and they can explore the exact places you loved, already mapped and ready to experience. START EXPLORING Wrinkles is free to download and you can start exploring the stories around you, or anywhere in the world, instantly.
