Every Street Has a Story

Backyard turns any walk into a story. Wherever you are, a talking tree guide narrates real, fact-checked history and hidden stories about the exact block you're standing on, triggered automatically as you walk. No planning, no searching, just walk and listen.

Fact-checked stories about any street, anywhere in the world. Walk, listen, and discover routes shared by a growing community of explorers.
