The rCloud app runs the equipment we manufacture, over a WiFi connection or iDevice hotspot. It is used to run industry specified tests, and then saves the results of the tests locally on the device and to a backend database in the cloud via Azure. The tests are not accessible for editing by the user once they are saved (local databases are encrypted). The completed tests can be viewed immediately on the App and also on the rCloud website once they are uploaded to the backend database.

That gut-drop moment at the traffic light — "did I grab my wallet?" PocketCheck ends it. Photograph the things you can't leave without. PocketCheck cuts them out into stickers on your pocket board. Set a boundary around home — as tight as 20 metres — and the moment you step past it, your checklist appears. Tap through it and go. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Seconds, not minutes — GPS-confirmed departure alerts the moment iOS senses you moving, while other reminder apps wake up ten minutes too late • Your real stuff — photos become stickers, not another grey text list • Anywhere mode — leave a restaurant, gym, or friend's place after a real stay and PocketCheck checks you again. Smart rules mean brief stops never trigger and alerts never spam • Impossible to miss — Time Sensitive alerts break through Focus modes, with optional loud alarm sound and repeat-until-opened • Private by design — photos processed on-device, no accounts, no tracking, and your route is never stored HOW IT WORKS 1. Snap your stuff — wallet, keys, badge, anything 2. Drop your boundary on the map 3. Walk out the door — your checklist appears Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
