About

How does a heat pump find heat in freezing air? Why does a microwave leave cold spots? How does a key know it's the right one? Cutaway explains one everyday thing at a time, in about a minute, with a drawing you can work with your finger. Drag the Moon round the Earth and watch its phase change. Slide a leaf from summer into late autumn and see the red appear. Turn the microwave's plate. Push a key into a lock and watch the pins line up. WHAT'S INSIDE • Pills: short visual explainers of the things you use, see and feel every day • A diagram to operate in most pills, drawn as a blueprint • Every pill explained twice: simply, and technically • A common myth in many pills, flipped against what the sources say • The sources each pill was checked against, listed in the app • A question at the end that comes back days later, just before you'd forget • Tracks: Inside Your Kitchen, Inside Your Phone, Getting Around, Space You Can See, Your Body on a Normal Day, Small Machines Around the House, Everyday Mysteries, and seasonal issues on what is in the air right now • A pill of the day, a gentle daily reminder, a Home Screen and Lock Screen widget, Spotlight search and Shortcuts • Made for iPhone Duo: open it and the list sits on one side with the pill on the other, or read full width with the diagram beside the words. Folded, it works like any iPhone. iPad in landscape works the same way FREE TO TRY Today's pill is free for everyone, every day, and so are the first pills of every track. Cutaway Plus opens every pill in the library. CUTAWAY PLUS Cutaway Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, yearly or monthly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase that never renews.
