On this day in history, a map of when, and a daily quiz.
Epoch opens on today's date and what happened on it, newest first, from Wikipedia's day pages. Tap a moment to read it or save it, scrub a world map through 7,880 curated events from 3000 BCE to 2026, and finish with a quiz that takes about a minute.
A short daily ritual: read what happened today, see where it sits in time and place, and test what stuck.
Every day of the year, newest first, from Wikipedia's day pages with the last fifty years merged in. Step back a day, pick any date, or tap Surprise me.
7,880 curated events on a world map. Drag the years from 3000 BCE to 2026, jump by era, or press play and watch history fill in.
Then or Now with a Daily game, Chronology Challenge, and two map quizzes: Where in the World? and Which Came First?
One tap narrows the map to the 110 events rated five for impact, such as Magna Carta, Gutenberg's press and the Moon landing.
Star a moment to keep it. Search your saves by title, country, category or year, and find the last 100 events you opened.
A dark theme in ink and brass, or a light one like warm parchment. Your streak counts every day you open it in a row.
Every figure below comes from the app itself. The crops are real screens of Epoch; the map behind the title is an illustration drawn from the app's own data.
Epoch opens on today's date. The first eight entries mix the last fifty years with the day's top-ranked moments from further back, and Load more adds more, up to 32 a day. Tap a card and the full text opens, with a link to its Wikipedia day page.
Explore puts the curated events on a world map, each in its region and coloured by category. Drag the year, tap an era to jump, or press play. Pins that crowd together stack, with the most common category in front. The map ships inside the app, so it works offline.
Your first Then or Now game each day is the Daily: eight pairs, pick the event that came first. Play again for practice. Chronology Challenge deals four events to put in order, and the two map quizzes explain every answer.
Tap the star on any card or story to save it. Saved is searchable, and Recently read lists the events you opened.
A story shows its category, country and year, an impact rating, and buttons to save it, learn more on Wikipedia or see it on the map. On This Day entries link their Wikipedia day page, and many link the same event in Epoch's own collection.
Today shows what happened on this date, newest first, and your streak counts the day.
Read the story, save it, or see where and when it happened on the map.
Eight rounds of Then or Now, about a minute. Then explore for as long as you like.
Epoch, at phone size, with sample saves and scores. Nothing is mocked up.
Your streak, saves and quiz scores never leave the device. There's no account and nothing to sign in to, and the only internet use is a link you tap, such as Read on Wikipedia.
No account, no ads, no in-app purchases.
