Gyde is a map-based app for discovering the history, memories, and hidden lore of the places around you — wherever you go.
Three types of knowledge, one living map.
Source-cited historical records and confirmed events, reviewed for accuracy before they appear on the map.
Memories, experiences, and moments from people who were actually there — the living history of a place.
Legends, myths, and unverified tales that make a neighborhood feel alive. Take them with a grain of salt.
Explore your surroundings with a live map showing nearby stories, filtered by type and category.
Contribute places with photos, audio recordings (Echoes), source citations, and rich descriptions.
Connect with expert local guides who offer tours, share insider knowledge, and bring history to life.
Visit places and rise through tiers — from Wanderer to Curator — as you build your exploration history.
Leave a voice note tied to a location — an audio memory that others can find and listen to on-site.
See what friends and explorers are discovering near you in real time.
Launch Gyde and see stories pinned around your current location — each one waiting to be tapped.
Read the full story, view photos, listen to Echo recordings, and see source citations.
Drop a new pin, write your story, and contribute to the living archive of the places you love.
Register as a Gyde Guide and offer your expertise to curious explorers. Set your rates, define your service area, and build a profile that showcases what makes your tours unique.
