About this app
Told turns your drive into a running audio documentary about the places you pass.
As you travel, Told quietly follows your route and tells you short, vivid stories about what's actually around you — the historic markers, roadside landmarks, old towns, local businesses, natural features, and strange-but-true history of wherever you are. Every story is narrated aloud and timed to arrive as you move, so you can keep your eyes on the road.
WHAT YOU'LL HEAR
• The history behind the town you're passing through
• Roadside attractions and historic markers you'd otherwise drive right by
• Local landmarks, businesses, and buildings with a story
• Natural features, rivers, and geology along your route
• Quirky, surprising, true facts about the place you're in
HOW IT WORKS
• Just start Told and drive — no destination or planning needed
• Stories are generated for your exact location and read aloud
• Choose how talkative Told is and which topics you hear
• Parked or at home? Told still finds stories about where you are
• A Recent Stories list keeps everything you've heard, with sources to learn more
BUILT FOR THE CAR
• Hands-free, eyes-free listening
• Works with Android Auto, CarPlay, and Bluetooth
• Hands your music or radio back between stories
Told is free to try. Told Pro unlocks unlimited stories with a subscription that includes a free trial.
Every fact is drawn from trusted public sources like Wikipedia, the Historical Marker Database, national weather services, and open map data — never invented.
