The Experience

Walk to history.
Unlock the story.

Vistory uses GPS proximity to connect you with verified historical narratives exactly where history happened.

Open the Map

Vistory shows you historical markers nearby. Every pin represents a verified piece of history waiting to be discovered.

Walk There

GPS proximity detection checks your location. When you arrive within range, your presence is verified. You have to actually be there.

A collectible historical icon unlocks instantly with a verified narrative. Your discovery is added to your collection and shared with your group in real time.

Share the Moment

Group members see your discovery instantly — even those who couldn't be there. React, celebrate, and plan your next visit together.

Every visit earns
a place in history.

Two tiers of collectible icons recognize how you made the discovery — and Group Finds keeps your whole group connected.

Standard Icon

Earned by every group member who visits in person — whether before or after someone else has been there. Your visit. Your icon.

Group Finds

When a teammate reaches a marker before you, it's added to your trips under Group Finds — so you stay connected to the discovery and have every reason to go earn the icon in person yourself.

Common Questions

Everything you
want to know.

What is Vistory?

Vistory is a GPS-based historical tourism app for iPhone and Android. When you physically visit a historical marker, GPS proximity unlocks a collectible historical icon with a verified narrative about that location. Think of it as Pokémon Go for history lovers and families.

How does GPS proximity work?

Vistory continuously checks your location as you move. When you're within range of a historical marker, your visit is verified automatically — you have to actually be there. No shortcuts, no spoofing.

What is Group Finds?

When a member of your group reaches a marker you haven't — whether you're deployed overseas, away at college, recovering from illness, or simply couldn't make the trip — Vistory adds that place to your trips under Group Finds. It's how the group keeps you connected and included, and gives you every reason to go collect the history in person yourself. You earn the icon when you make the visit.

Who verifies the historical content?

Vistory partners with museums, historical societies, and state historic preservation offices to source and verify marker narratives. We never publish unverified historical claims.

Is Vistory free to use?

Yes. Vistory's free tier includes discovery of all historical markers, one group, one theme campaign, and all achievements. Explorer ($4.99/month) and Historian ($9.99/month) plans unlock more groups, unlimited themes and trips, and premium features.

When will Vistory be available?

Vistory is coming soon to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Join the waitlist at the top of this page to be notified the moment we launch.
