Short, spontaneous real-world prompts that make the ordinary day feel a little less ordinary. Skip the algorithm. Step outside.
A Sidestory is a small, do-it-today quest. Not a habit tracker. Not a checklist. A nudge — somewhere between a dare and a daydream — to take the long way home and bring back a story.
A fresh Sidestory matched to your time of day. Accept it, or shuffle for another. No streaks. No guilt.
Snap a photo or two on the way. Jot a quick note while it's fresh. The app stays out of your way.
Every completed Sidestory pins itself to your Memories — a polaroid wall of the year you stopped scrolling.
Seven lanes, hundreds of prompts. Lean into whatever the day is asking for.
Routes, rooms, neighborhoods.
New menus, weird flavors.
Strangers, friends, conversations.
After-hours, low-stakes adventure.
Quiet quests. Phone face-down.
Shared quests. Same story.
Make, sketch, build, write.
Group Quests turn a night out into a shared diary. Invite friends, pick the quest, and add photos along the way. At the end, everyone gets the same story — written by the night itself.
