Peplos is an audio guide on your phone. Get to a place and a voice tells you what it is and why it matters, in English, Russian, German or Polish. On a drive, Peplos suggests places on the way and hands the route to Google Maps. To keep it fun, the map is under fog: it clears wherever you have been, so you see how much you have discovered. Early access is free.

It installs through TestFlight, Apple’s free app for early versions.
