Every building you walk past has something behind it — who put it there, what it survived, who it ruined. Tellby tells you that story out loud, at the moment you're standing in front of it.
Stories are the way in. Here are five doors to them.
Pick a city, pick a place, and start walking. GPS does the rest — each story plays when you reach the spot it belongs to. Nothing to search, nothing to tap.
A place isn't one story either. A cathedral is nine of them — the crypt, the bell that cracked, the architect who died before the roof went on.
Start from a film, a series, an album, a novel, a game, a person you admire — and Tellby builds the map for you. Every location it was shot, written about or lived in, laid out as a route you can actually walk. The thing you're a fan of becomes the reason you're there.
Squid Game across Seoul. Sherlock across London. A K-pop video, stop by stop. Pick one and it's a day planned.
Tellby reads the social chatter in each city and surfaces the places people are actually going right now — the wine bar with no menu and no phone number, not the one from the 2019 listicle. And if you'd rather not go alone, you can find someone to go with.
Walk a route, record what you know, publish it. When someone else arrives at that corner, they hear you. It's the closest thing to being there to show them around.
Build your own itinerary, or just take one someone already walked. When you have three days and no idea where to start, the route of a person who has been there beats a top-ten list.
We'll email you the moment it's live, with 200 credits already in your account — enough to listen to two places end to end.
iOS is in testing now and Android follows shortly after. Sign up and you'll hear from us before anyone else.
Browsing and free content cost nothing. Audio guides run on credits, charged per place. Early access comes with 200 credits — two full places, on the house.
English and Korean. We'd rather write and narrate two languages well than machine-translate into a dozen — a story told badly isn't worth hearing.
No. Audio you've downloaded stays on your phone, so it works with roaming off. Grab a place over hotel wifi and walk it the next morning.
Yes. Record in your own voice or have AI read your script, set your own price, and keep half of what you earn.
One launch email and the occasional note about early-access perks. No marketing blasts, and you can leave the list whenever you like.
