Three pillars

Place becomes story.

Three ideas behind everything PlaceStory does.

Layers of places

See what is happening right now, plus the stories that built up there over time. Every pin holds context.

A journey through time

Browse the last hour, the last week, or years of moments tied to the streets around you.

Discovery and meaning

Reports come from your neighbors, not algorithms. Confirmed by the community, kept readable.

Live nearby

Discover what just happened on your block.

Open the map and see live reports within walking distance: incidents, traffic, events, neighborhood updates. Calibrated to your radius and the categories you care about.

  • Events and incidents in real time
  • Memories and highlights, kept on the map
  • Verified by the community

  • Toggle between recent and historical
  • Filter by category, time, and distance
  • Tap any moment to read the full story
