TourGuide

TourGuide — your story-driven audio companion on the road

TourGuide turns travel into a guided experience. As you drive or explore, chapters play at the right moment — timed to your route and where you are — so you hear the story when it matters, not all at once in a parking lot.

Whether you’re on a long highway stretch or moving through a destination, TourGuide adapts: corridor stories on the approach, stop-by-stop narration when you arrive, and a clear path to browse what’s ahead while the guide keeps running
How it works

Choose a journey — open a trip pack with curated stops, stories, and practical tips.
Start your trip — grant location access so chapters can trigger while you travel.
Listen as you go — audio plays automatically in Drive Mode, or on demand when you explore.
Pick up where you left off — active trips can continue after the app is closed or restarted.
Features

🎧 Adaptive audio chapters — narration ordered and triggered by proximity and estimated arrival, so stories finish as places come into view.

🚗 Drive Mode — a focused, hands-friendly screen for active travel with playback controls and trip management.

🗺️ Explore while you travel — browse the itinerary, map, and chapter details without stopping the guide session.

🌐 Multilingual narration — pre-recorded audio in supported languages; downloads and caches on your device for smoother playback.

📍 Location-aware guidance — uses GPS (including in the background during an active trip) to decide what to play next.

🔁 Manual controls — replay, skip, deep-dive stories, and open navigation in your maps app when you want directions to a stop.

🔒 Privacy-first onboarding — clear consent for privacy policy and location use before your first trip.

Built for real travel

TourGuide is designed for physical devices with GPS — emulators and desktop testing won’t reflect the full experience. A network connection helps for maps, routing, weather details, and first-time narration downloads; cached audio improves playback once files are on your device.

Permissions (why we ask)

Location (while using & in background) — only during an active trip, to trigger the right chapter at the right time.
Notifications — optional progress and guide session status.
Network — journey content, maps, and updates.
We don’t sell your personal data. See our privacy policy in the app for full details.
Early access

TourGuide is in active development. More journeys and languages are on the way. If something feels off — timing, audio, maps, or UI — your feedback helps us improve the experience for everyone on the road.
