What is inside

A guide that works where the signal does not.

Everything you need for the day is already downloaded before you leave the hotel.

Narration

310 narrations, already on the phone

Each stop is recorded in advance and stored inside its content pack, so play starts instantly — no streaming, no signal, no voice to download. It keeps playing with the screen locked.

Arrival

It starts when you get there

With location permission, AlohaKai watches the twenty closest places and begins the story as you arrive. A ten-minute cooldown stops the same stop from repeating. Prefer silence? Start every narration by hand.

Nearby places sorted by distance from where you are standing
Museums

Photograph the label

Point the camera at an exhibit label. On-device text recognition and image labels match it against the museum pack, and the exhibit's narration opens. You can also type the label or pick a photo.

Apple Intelligence

Ask the question the recording skipped

On supported iPhones, follow up in your own words and the on-device model answers from the guide's facts. When Apple Intelligence is unavailable, the same screen answers from the pack's local notes.

Privacy

Nothing to sign up for

No account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Location, photos, speech and AI answers are processed on the phone. Wikipedia is contacted only when you ask for narration outside the active pack.

Pricing

Five stops free, then one unlock

Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, Hanauma Bay and ʻIolani Palace are free. One non-consumable purchase opens the rest of the library. It is not a subscription: it charges once and never renews.

Maps that stay downloaded

The Hawaii pack includes offline map tiles rendered by MapLibre, so the map still draws with no connection. Apple Maps fills in the rest when you are online.

How it works

Three taps from arrival to story.

No itinerary to build and nothing to configure.

01

Open Nearby

The list sorts by distance from where you are standing. Every place shows how far it is, what it costs to get in, and whether the walk is easy or hard.

02

Press play

The narration is already on the phone. It keeps playing while the screen is locked, and the transcript stays on screen for anyone who prefers to read.

03

Ask, scan, or walk on

Follow up with Apple Intelligence, photograph a museum label, or search the rest of the island. Listening progress is kept per pack, so you can pick the trip back up later.

Questions

The things people ask.

It is free to start. Five essential Oʻahu stops — Pearl Harbor National Memorial, Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, Hanauma Bay and ʻIolani Palace — are included at no cost. A single one-time purchase, Hawaii Complete, opens the other 195 places and all 20 museum packs. It is not a subscription: it is charged once, it never renews, and there is nothing to cancel.
