Vignettz

Real stories, pinned to the exact spot where they happened. Every one only plays when you're standing there. Record your own and add it to your city's map.

Vignettz is a map of real stories told by real people, pinned to the exact places where they happened. Where someone met their spouse. The park where something unforgettable went down. The corner the whole neighborhood used to gather on.

It's not a review app. It's a memory app.

EXPLORE Open the map and see story pins near you, color-coded by category. Search for a vibe instead of a place: "romantic," "spooky," "the funniest thing that ever happened on this block."

GO THERE Preview what a story is about, then get routed to the exact spot. Some stories are a block away. Some are across town.

LISTEN WHERE IT HAPPENED You can preview any story from anywhere, but it only plays once you're standing in the actual spot. Vignettz rewards being there, not just scrolling.

TELL YOUR OWN Anyone can record a story and pin it to the map. Over time, every neighborhood builds up its own layer of lore, left by the people who actually live it.

TOURS Follow a curated walk through a set of stories, stop by stop, and hear a neighborhood the way the people who know it would tell it.

Vignettz uses your location only while the app is open, to show nearby stories and confirm you're at a story's spot. It never tracks you in the background.

Every story is reviewed before it goes live. You must be 18 or older to create an account.
