Krumb shows you what matters, only where it matters
Finally an app that puts your location in the centre of attention
Krumb is a Belgian app that completely changes the way you look at places. As an attentive early adopter featured Krumb on Product Hunt today, we thought this might be a good time to introduce it properly.
We see many people and organizations using social media to push content to their connections. Unfortunately that content ends up in a timeline and it disappears after a matter of days or hours. Because the audience doesn’t see that information when and where they need it, they tend to forget it really quickly.
With Krumb, that’s completely different.
Krumb is a free (iOS & Android), mobile app to attach stories and messages to places. But, keep in mind: a ‘krumb’ is only viewable exactly where you drop it! When dropping a krumb, you decide who’ll be able to see it (one person, followers or the world) and for how long it will be visible. One day, one month or ... forever.
“In recent years we have been inundated with social applications. They deluge us with pictures and events that are only occasionally relevant. Because we don’t feel ourselves to be directly involved, they often constitute merely fleeting messages that fade from our timeline in a matter of hours. Krumb wants to reintroduce meaning to our local digital experience. By leaving ‘digital krumbs’ at specific locations and by making them available only in places that give them relevance.” - Björn Joos, co-founder.
Above all, Krumb is for everyone who wants to share and save experiences in that one particular place: photos of your friends in the café where they threw a party last week. An image of a historical building that once stood here, but in the meantime has been demolished. A funny story at a statue. A personal message from your partner on the spot where you kissed for the first time …
Next to thousands of users, Krumb is widely adopted by many organizations such as the cityarchives of Amsterdam, the touristical service of Paris (InfoParis), the Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art (SMAK) in Ghent and many Berlin-based lifestyle blogs.
Krumb doesn’t stop when you enter a building. Together with Estimote - leader in iBeacon technology - Krumb developed an extension making it possible to drop ultra-precise krumbs in buildings, museums or shops. They can even be attached to objects.
So go ahead: Download Krumb to share and see what matters at your location!
