Autio is a location-based audio storytelling app that redefines how people experience travel, exploration, and place. Co-founded by actor and director Kevin Costner, Autio was born from a passion for uncovering the rich, untold stories behind the places we pass by every day. With a growing library of over 23,000 professionally narrated stories, the app offers immersive, GPS-triggered content that plays automatically as users move through different locations, whether driving cross-country, strolling through a new city, flying over landscapes, or even daydreaming at home.
The stories span a wide variety of topics, including history, culture, music, sports, and local legends, offering everything from deep dives into historical events to quirky anecdotes about small towns. Renowned narrators such as Kevin Costner, John Lithgow, and other acclaimed voices bring the stories to life, adding a layer of emotional connection and authenticity to the experience. By blending travel, education, and entertainment, Autio turns every journey into an enriching adventure, allowing users to connect with places on a deeper, more meaningful level.
Whether you are discovering hidden gems off the beaten path or gaining new insight into iconic landmarks, Autio transforms passive travel into an active, story-driven experience. The app is designed for curious minds, road-trippers, lifelong learners, and anyone eager to hear the voices of the land beneath their feet.
Every place has a story. Now, every story has a place with Autio.
