Curated, not generic
Each walk is built around a route, a local story angle, and moments worth noticing on the ground.
Untourist Untourist NYC walking tour app
Untourist turns New York City neighborhoods into short self-guided audio walks with local stories, offline routes, and enough structure to keep you oriented without making the walk feel rigid.
Limited tours are available right now. This TestFlight is focused on in-field usability testing so we can make the on-the-ground walking experience as good as possible. NYC residents and visitors are the best fit while tours are limited to New York City.
Why use an app
Each walk is built around a route, a local story angle, and moments worth noticing on the ground.
Listen to local context while you walk instead of reading a long guide before you leave.
Save the route and audio before you go so the walk still works when signal gets patchy.
Follow the route, pause anywhere, skip a stop, or drift a little and find your way back.
App intent
Untourist is not trying to be a giant attraction list. It is a focused walking tour app for curated NYC routes, local stories, and short walks you can actually fit into a day.
Untourist lets you move at your own pace without waiting for a guide, schedule, or crowd.
You get a curated route and local stories, not just pins scattered across a neighborhood.
The app is built for short walks you can fit before dinner, after coffee, or between plans.

Quick answers

Both. It is for travelers who want local experiences in New York City and locals who want to rediscover familiar neighborhoods through curated walks.
Untourist is built so route details and audio can be saved before you walk, which helps when signal is uneven.
Untourist is in prelaunch TestFlight with limited NYC tours. Prospect Park is the first live route, and more curated NYC walks are in progress.
