A four-star rating from 2019 tells you nothing about whether today is worth your afternoon.
How StepInside works
Three simple steps connect travellers with businesses in real time. What you see is what's happening — right now, where you are.
No filters. No old reviews.
Step one
Open StepInside and see the places that are actually open, on and happening within walking distance — cafés, restaurants, markets, attractions, galleries, places to stay.
Venues that have posted something today rise to the top. Everything else waits its turn.
Two kilometres, five, ten. Nobody buys their way up the list.
Today's events and a route that strings them together, curated from what's live nearby.
Step two
Every listing can carry a short live video, filmed and posted by the business itself. Not a stock photo from three summers ago — the bread coming out of the oven, the stalls filling up, the light on the water at six o'clock.
Posts carry a shelf life. An hour, four hours, until close. When the moment passes, so does the post — which is exactly the point.
Just what's happening today.
Step three
One tap for directions. Walk in. Collect a stamp in your passport, unlock rewards from the places you supported, and keep a record of the day that isn't a camera roll you'll never scroll again.
Support local businesses. Create unforgettable memories. That's the whole loop — and it closes in about three taps.
The short version
A four-star rating from 2019 tells you nothing about whether today is worth your afternoon.
What the camera sees is what you get. If the market is quiet, you'll see that it's quiet.
Position is earned by being open and posting something real, not by having the biggest budget.
Your passport
Every time you step inside somewhere new, you collect a stamp. Stamps become badges — First Steps, Coffee Lover, Market Explorer, Night Owl, Local Legend — and badges unlock small, real rewards from the businesses you actually visited.
It isn't a loyalty scheme dressed up as a game. It's a reason to walk through one more door.

Questions
We're opening town by town, starting with our founding host communities. Join the explorer list and we'll email you the moment StepInside goes live near you — one email, not a campaign.
Free for explorers, always. Founding hosts pay nothing to launch and keep their founding-host status permanently.
StepInside runs in your browser and installs to your home screen like an app — no store, no update queue. Open it, allow location, and you're in.
Your location is used to show you what's nearby and nothing else. We don't sell it, share it, or build a profile from it. Businesses see counts — views, direction taps, stamps — never individuals.
Post something when there's something worth posting. It takes about ten seconds from your phone — a short clip, a line of caption, and a duration. No scheduling tools, no agency, no ad spend. Join the founding host waitlist →
