Three choices, one look.

How it works
01

Find a place

Search a city or a landmark, or drop a pin anywhere on the map. Curated starts are there when you want a nudge.

02

Set the time

Any year from 1000 BCE to today, and the hour of the day. The ruler keeps every era you have looked at.

03

Look back

An image in seconds. Read the moment beside it, compare eras, download, or make a short film.

Films

Turn a look into a short film.

Fifteen or thirty seconds, built from a few generated shots with ambient sound. It renders in the background and lands in your library.
