Maps and places · by Window Swap Limited (Hong Kong)
WindowSwap
A web app that plays short videos of the view out of real people's windows around the world, one random window at a time, with paid extras such as a map and the full archive.
Each click drops you into a stranger's flat in another city, with the street noise and weather of that moment.

For your agent
No official API. An agent should not scrape the site: use it by hand.
- No public API; it is a single-page app whose videos are hosted on Vimeo, so link to the site rather than scraping or re-hosting clips.
- Do not download, re-host or screen the videos publicly; terms allow personal, non-commercial viewing only
- Link to window-swap.com instead of embedding clips unless WindowSwap gives written permission
Paste into your agent: Read https://agentgid.com/resources/windowswap/agent.md before using WindowSwap.
What you can build
- A 'take a break' button in a focus or pomodoro app that opens WindowSwap in a new tab
- A personal travel-mood board that links out to WindowSwap alongside your own photos
