Your sensory atlas

A landscape, a sound, a scent. Those are worth more than 300 pictures.

Because your memories deserve more than pictures. Whib captures a sensory fingerprint of your travels: scents, sounds, emotions, textures, and tastes. For you. For the ones who matter.

Too many pixels. Not enough memories.

Every year, 2.1 trillion photos are taken. Yet we forget. Science confirms it: photographing a moment reduces what memory keeps (Henkel, 2013). We document everything, we remember little.

The science
en·gram (n.)

Trace left in the brain by a past event, constituting the physical support of memory.

WHIB captures it before it fades.

How it works

Pin

20 seconds on the spot: a pin on the map, a photo, a few seconds of sound.

Rest

On day +5, WHIB reminds you to enrich the memory, with the perspective of being back.

Relive

The Time-Capsule sends you a random memory months later. Intact.

Private by Default. Shared by Choice.

Your map is yours alone — nothing is public, ever. When you want to, add a few friends and share the journeys you choose. Sharing is something you opt into, never the default.

Private by Default

Every engram you pin is private from the start. No public profile, no global feed — your map stays yours until you decide otherwise.

Friends, by Invitation

Add friends one by one through mutual requests. You build a small, trusted circle — there's no follower count to chase.

Share What You Choose

Open a trip to a friend and explore each other's maps. You stay in control of exactly what's visible, and to whom.
