World's first short-range one-way communication app. This app is designed for communicating with people around you, when you can't speak or be heard. You don't need to know the other person's phone number. Just type your message and show it. The best chat app for quiet places (meetings, conferences, libraries and more), and for sports coaches to give directions to their teams.

WorldTime

A timezone scrubber app that lets you visualise time across cities with an interactive dial. Most timezone apps use static displays or linear sliders. But time is cyclical — so WorldTime uses a dial interaction that mirrors how we actually think about time. Rotating the dial scrubs through hours, and concepts like "yesterday" and "tomorrow" become intuitive as you cross midnight.
