Why Proxigem

A field guide to right here

Everything Proxigem needs lives on your phone, so it answers "what's around me?" instantly — even with no signal.

A live arrow to each place

Your phone's compass turns every nearby place into a pointer and a distance — just look up and walk toward it.

Works fully offline

A worldwide base map is built into the app. No signal, no roaming, no problem — nothing is fetched to show what's nearby.

Worldwide coverage

Millions of notable places on every continent — drawn from Wikipedia, Wikidata, GeoNames and national heritage registers.

Rich detail on demand

Tap a place for a longer story, and download detailed country packs when you want deeper local coverage.

Private by design

No sign-in, no ads, no tracking. Your location is used on-device to find nearby places and never sold or shared.

Real facts, credited

Every entry carries its source and licence. Open data in, attribution shown for each place — nothing scraped, nothing invented.

Zero setup

Three taps to your next discovery

No account, no configuration. Open the app and it's already looking around you.

Open the app

Grant location once and Proxigem centres on where you are — anywhere on Earth, online or off.
