Take photos to prove you packed. Never forget an essential again. THE PROBLEM You're at the airport and can't remember if you packed your charger. You check a list but still aren't sure — did you actually put it in the bag? WHY EXISTING SOLUTIONS FAIL Regular checklists let you tap a box without proof. You can check off "passport" while it's still on the kitchen counter. THE SOLUTION ThingsToTake requires a photo to mark an item as packed. Point your camera, snap, done — visual proof right in your list. Organize items by category, sync across devices with iCloud, and travel with confidence. No ads. No tracking. Just your packing list.

Your iPhone, live in the session. Link Audio Bridge streams your iPhone's microphone, or any audio interface you plug in, straight into an Ableton Link session over your local network. It's metered, compressed and locked to the shared tempo. No cables to the computer and no account. STREAM • Send mono or stereo audio to Ableton Live, or any Link peer that supports Link Audio, over Wi-Fi • Pick any connected input: built-in mic, USB interface or headset • Watch it the whole way with a stereo input meter on a true dB scale, with peak hold SHAPE • A compressor built in, so the signal is under control before it leaves the phone • Threshold, ratio, attack, release and make-up gain • A live gain reduction meter shows exactly how hard it's working • Your settings are remembered between sessions SYNC • Locked to Link: shared tempo and beat position with every peer on the network • Start and stop the Link transport from the phone • A Link-synced click on the phone to play along to • MIDI clock out, with start and stop, to keep other MIDI gear and apps in time WHAT YOU NEED • Ableton Live 12.4 or later, or another compatible Link peer • Your iPhone and computer on the same local network Something not working in your setup? Email hi@happyorbitlabs.com and tell us what you're running. The click only plays through the phone's own speaker or headphones and isn't sent into the stream, so the copy doesn't say it reaches Live.
