About
Pick a place and a time, then fall in.
RabbitHole turns history into a rabbit hole you actually want to fall down. Choose anywhere on the world map, slide to any era from Prehistory to today, pick a topic, and you'll get two facts. Tap the more interesting one and go a level deeper, then deeper again, following the thread wherever it leads.
WHAT'S INSIDE • 14,000+ history facts across 27 regions, 8 eras and 8 topics: Food, Art, War, Literature, Science, Politics, Philosophy and Culture • Every topic is introduced for its place and time, like "The Fall of Tenochtitlan" or "Rice, Fish and Cowries" • Tap any highlighted name to find out who or what it is: 13,000+ people, places and terms • Follow a life: step through the lives of 1,500 people from history, from birth to legacy, with dates and ages, then follow the people they met • Browse all the people by era, or search for anyone • A daily reading streak, with titles you earn along the way
CAREFULLY SOURCED Every fact, card and life story is written from Wikipedia and checked against its source article, and each fact shows where it comes from.
CALM BY DESIGN • No ads, no accounts, no tracking, no in-app purchases. Ever. • Works completely offline, on a plane, underground or anywhere • Light and dark mode, large text and VoiceOver support
Swap ten minutes of scrolling for ten minutes of falling down a rabbit hole. You'll actually remember it.
