the best Timeline is Offline
3,853 art spaces on the map.
5,843 events on right now.
Every exhibition, performance, indie cinema and bookshop event near you, on one map — gathered every night by a pipeline we built ourselves. Go, then write down what you felt.
The app
Three things, done properly.
Map
Galleries, alternative spaces, theatres, indie cinemas, bookshops. What is open around you today, tonight, this weekend — with filters for genre, hours and price, not an algorithm.
Archive
After you go, write it down. A few lines, a photo, the space it happened in. Your record stays yours; the good ones surface for people standing where you stood.
Today & LIMBOT
Save what you want to see and get told before it closes. Ask LIMBOT — a chatbot that only knows art events and gets sharper the more impressions it reads.
Written offline, tonight
What people wrote after they went.
How we gather
Nobody had collected this. So we built the thing that does, every night.
Art information is scattered across thousands of Instagram accounts, posters and PDFs, and most of it changes every two weeks. In 2026 we built a collection pipeline on top of LLM agents, then spent three months every dawn writing the rules an art-literate editor would apply. It now runs without us.

- lines of art-specific rules: copyright, how to read a poster, what counts as an event
- 2,404
- spaces patrolled every day in Korea for changes, closures and new shows
We make a space between art and people — a limbo — so that art becomes an ordinary part of a day, not an occasion.
No ads on the map. No feed tuned to keep you scrolling. Genre, venue size and budget don't decide what you see; distance and time do. The best timeline is the one you walk.
