Memii (맀미) is a location-aware mobile application that gently reveals hidden cultural and natural heritage around you, turning daily walks into moments of discovery.
By using real-time GPS and open heritage data from the Korean Heritage Service, Memii notifies users when they are near hidden or significant heritage sites, quietly inviting them to pause, explore, and connect. The app is envisioned to make memory audible, heritage visible, and cultural meaning personal.
Cultural heritage is often perceived as static, distant, or confined to museums. Millions of people walk past historical landmarks, protected trees, and cultural monuments every day without ever knowing their stories.
Contextual, lightweight, and respectful. Rather than forcing comprehensive tours, Memii delivers ambient, soft notifications and minimalist cards that fit naturally into everyday mobility.
Automated push alerts within configurable geofence radii (100m to 1km), with vibration-only silent mode for respectful public use.
Real-time map rendering nearby historical, archaeological, architectural, and natural heritage sites with curated summaries.
Bookmark discovered heritage sites, track personal walking footprints, and export memories without mandatory sign-up hurdles.
"I want to feel like this street I've walked a hundred times still has something to teach me."
