About the Lore App
Lore is a location-based storytelling platform launching on mobile devices in May 2026, initially in Alaska.
Stories are tagged on the map in the Lore mobile app. Users of the app must travel to the location the story took place in order to unlock and listen to it.
This location-based approach creates an immersive experience where listeners don't just hear your story—they experience it in the exact place where it unfolded.
