A history app for iPhone and Android
Chronos tells the strangest true stories that ever happened, as short illustrated cards you can read in a minute.
Wait, what?
A new card with every swipe: the date, the subject, and the part you didn't know. These are real cards from the app — try a few.
Swipe, use the arrows, or press ← →
Read deeper
Every story asks what you think before it tells you. Then it unfolds card by card, and you choose how deep the explanation goes.
Inside the app
Home
Roughly two quick facts for every story, dealt so the subject keeps changing and nothing you've seen comes back while something new is waiting.
Stories
Full story opens a short illustrated read: a question first, the answer after, then who, when and where, and what was happening elsewhere in the world at the same time.
Timeline
From the first humans at Dmanisi to the first website, every event sits on one ruler. Drag to travel, pinch to zoom from eras down to single years.
World map
59 regions and 84 civilizations on a map of the world. Tap a place to see who lived there, when, and the stories that happened there.
Streaks and levels
Chronos remembers what you read and what you keep, and brings the best of it back. Grow from Curious visitor to Keeper of time.
Privacy
Your progress, saved cards, streak and badges stay on your phone. We collect only anonymous usage and crash information to make Chronos better, and we never sell it.
