You almost missed this

The best things are rarely on your usual route.

After the first few weeks, we all walk the same paths. Out of habit, not conviction.

Café

Coffee, no queue.

Ari shows you the nearest café without a wait, plus pop-ups and new openings.

Food

Know the price before you sit down.

Ari shows you restaurants nearby and what the menu costs.

Unwind

Sunset, with a seat.

Ari shows quiet viewpoints and tells you when to head out.

Tonight

What’s on in your neighbourhood tonight.

Concerts, markets and street parties on the map, with the way there.

Map your moment

Your way, your stops.

Any map gets you from A to B. Ari adds the coffee here and the view there. Tap them, Ari builds the route.

When time matters, straight there.

Hauptbahnhof to the Grossmünster

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

One glance. Then go.

A widget answers the question you're actually asking: the lake at 22°, the weather looks good, so yes. You put the widgets on your home screen in Ari.

The answer is there when you open Ari, so you're out the door instead of scrolling.

Medium-wide Badi widget showing lake and Limmat water temperatures.

Medium-wide weather widget showing Zürich weather and the hourly forecast.

Medium-wide UV widget showing the current UV index and exposure level.

Looks good. The swimwear is coming along.

Your city, nobody else’s.

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.

What you save shapes what Ari suggests. Every place, every route sharpens the picture, until Saturday's tip feels like it came from you.

FAQ

Some early questions, answered simple.

What does Ari give me if I already know Zürich?
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.
Which apps does Ari replace?
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.
Who is Ari?
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.
Is it free?
Yes. The core of Ari is free and will stay free. Premium extras may come later.
What about my data?
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.
iOS, Android or web?
Ari is available on iOS and Android. Web is coming soon.
Why Zürich first?
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.
Can I suggest a widget?Ari Lab
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.
