Lorelight: History Stories

History's greatest stories. One every night.

Lorelight turns the moments that shaped the world into short, painted films. Every evening the app opens on tonight's story: about three to four minutes, told by a narrator who draws you in, with music that makes you forget you're learning.

WATCH
• Cinematic, painted films about history and philosophy
• Every story narrated and subtitled in nine languages
• In English, choose your narrator: three voices, each with its own character
• Turn your phone for the full picture

KEEP
• Every story ends with a lesson for your own life, in a single line
• Keep the lessons that matter to you and add a note of your own
• A short quiz after the film, if you feel like it

EXPLORE
• The Atlas: turn the globe, open a region and fly down to the places where the stories happened
• Meet the people in each story
• Inside Stories: longer films that tell the same story from someone else's point of view, in chapters
• The Footnote: a true and faintly absurd extra, one minute long, on the house

YOUR LAMP
Each evening you watch, your lamp is lit. Watch seven evenings in a row and a bonus film unlocks. My lamp keeps your evenings, and My lessons keeps the lessons you saved, with your notes. Your lessons and notes stay on your device.
