Focused by Design
The interface is built around the map: a dark theme, readable typography, fast search, simple filters, and a timeline that stays close at hand. The goal is to help you explore history without clutter.
Privacy and Connectivity
No account is required to browse the map. Core historical datasets are bundled with the app, so timelines, territories, and markers work without signing in. Map tiles, dataset updates, and Wikipedia article lookups load online when a connection is available.
