Search
Find any battle in seconds.
You remember a commander's name but not the battle. Or the campaign, or the year. Search covers all of it — battle name, location, war, commander — across the full 4,818-record dataset, instantly.
- Search by battle name, location, war, or commander
- Live results as you type
- Jump straight from a search hit into the feed or the map
Advanced Filters
Slice history your way.
Only interested in naval battles? Only the 19th century? Only decisive victories? Chain filters together — era, region, type, outcome, significance, war, year range — and the feed updates as you go.
- Ten eras as coloured chips
- Land, naval, siege, amphibious, urban, guerrilla types
- Outcome, significance, and the full list of 25 wars
- BC/AD-aware year range slider in 25-year steps
Bookmarks
Build your own reading list.
Some battles deserve a second pass. Save them with one tap from the feed's action stack. Your bookmarks become their own filtered feed — nothing but the ones you cared enough to save.
- One-tap save from anywhere in the app
- A dedicated "Saved" filter on the main feed
- Sync'd to the device — stays on your iPhone or iPad

History near your feet.
Travelling? On holiday? Battle Lens can show you the battles that happened near wherever you are. Useful for trip planning — and a reminder that a lot of history happens in places that don't look like anything happened there.

Pin the On This Day widget and Battle Lens surfaces the battles from the current calendar day across history. A small serif headline and an outcome badge, every day.
