Powerful
---------

Hewell is powered by WikiData and Wikipedia. Their work makes all of this possible.

Hewell leverages the awesome power of WikiData and Wikipedia to provide you insights into the world around you.

Private
-------

Hewell respects your privacy. I only use the data I absolutely need and nothing is stored or transmitted except to Apple (i.e. votes and crash reports) or Wikipedia (for fetching places). It's all too common these days for apps to track user behavior and sell that data to advertisers. Hewell doesn't do that. No behavioral data is collected and no data is ever sold or given to another party. Your data is yours.

Indie
-----

Hewell is handcrafted in San Diego by one person, me. There's no shady venture capital, no stock trading, no short-term strategy. I build Hewell so that you can use it. If you like what you see, please consider tipping in the app.
