Trove turns the street you're standing on into a guided walk: expert audio narration, a map that shows you on the route, and the stories guidebooks skip. Your first walk is free — runs in any browser, no app to install.

Hi, I'm Daniel - I built this on my own from Ireland.
It actually started in museums. I never wanted to queue up and rent the audio-guide handset, but wandering around with no context is worse - so I built a guide that plays in my ear from my own phone with my own earphones, telling me about the thing I'm standing in front of. Then I tried it outside and it worked even better: a city is basically a museum but just way bigger. So now it does whole cities too.
You pick a city (or a museum), it gives you a route, and the audio plays stop by stop as you walk. Every city has a free walk (I call it the Trove Edit) - the full walk, not a teaser, so you can judge it without paying anything.
Couple of honest things: it only just launched, so there are basically no users yet - you'd genuinely be among the first, and I want the blunt feedback. And playing a walk needs a quick Google sign-in, because generating the audio costs me real money per clip. Free means free - there's just one tap to sign in first.
If you try one, tell me which city and what you thought. Bad news is more useful than good.
