Ari, your city sidekick. Ari is your city sidekick, and the city's lineup changes daily. Ari's got it: the tram in four minutes, the e-scooter around the corner with its charge level, the fountain for your bottle, the street party in your neighbourhood. Pick what catches your eye, Ari builds the way, and go. You'll see how in a moment. See how it works.

Everything in one place
A Saturday rarely comes together in one app. You jump from the weather app to the transit app, from the map to the events page. And for the bar tip, you still end up texting the one friend who always knows one.
One Saturday. So many open apps.
In Ari it does: weather, tram, events and the right route on one screen, and the plan is set before you'd have opened the next app.
You almost missed this
After a few weeks, we all walk the same ways. Not out of conviction, out of habit.
In the courtyard
New
Two lanes over.
While everyone queues at the same counter, Ari points you to the new pop-up café in a hidden courtyard, two lanes over.
Your next coffee needn’t be at the usual spot. Discover new cafés nearby and make them part of your plan.
In the neighbourhood

Good food, small bill.
Eating well in Zürich while your wallet barely notices: Ari knows the neighbourhood gems that pull it off.
A good lunch tip that fits your budget. Find the details of the offer at each place.
Above the rooftops
21:04
Time for sunset.
The view without the crowds: a bench above the rooftops, just before the sun goes. Ari knows where.
A viewpoint above the rooftops, a small detour at the end of the day. Plan your way there around sunset.
Illustrative examples, not live listings. Offers, prices and sunset times vary.
Any map gets you from A to B. Ari shows you what lies in between, with live info, and lets you build your route around it. You pick the stops. Ari handles the way between them.
When time matters, straight there.
A blocked path or a broken streetlight? Report it in the app, and the route gets better for whoever walks it next.
Your view of the city
Looks good. The swimwear is coming along.
You choose the widgets. Swim before work? Put the lake temperature first. Heading out at the weekend? Bring club nights, queer events and techno onto your screen. Your screen ends up showing your city, and only yours.
What you save shapes what Ari suggests. Every place, every route sharpens the picture, until Saturday's tip feels like it came from you.
At home in Zürich
Built in Zürich, on Swiss sovereign data. Ari knows your favourite spots and keeps them to itself. We don't sell personal data.
How Ari handles your dataFree on the App Store and Google Play. Web coming soon.
You know the places. Ari knows what’s happening at them right now: the lake temperature, the next tram, what’s on tonight, and the quieter way between two spots you’ve always walked the long way round. It’s live information on top of what you already know.
For most plans in the city: your map, weather app, transit app and event listings. Keep them if you like. You just won’t need to switch between them to plan an evening.
Ari is a city app that brings routes, live local info and events into one place. The name comes from Ariadne, who gave Theseus the thread that led him out of the labyrinth. A city can feel like one too, even after years. Ari is the thread.
Yes. The core of Ari is free and will stay free. Premium extras may come later.
Ari keeps what it learns about you on your phone wherever it can. Your profile only syncs so Ari works across your devices. We do not sell personal data, and nothing leaves your profile without your action or permission. Read more in our Privacy Policy.
Ari is available on iOS and Android. Web is coming soon.
It’s where we live, walk, miss trams and swim. Local knowledge doesn’t copy and paste from one city to the next, so we start where we know every corner and build from there.
Soon. Ari Lab is where new widgets start: send an idea, vote on others, follow the best ones into the app. Until it opens, the feedback form works too.
