Do you want a way to check if you’d locked your door? Or if you turned the oven off? Maybe it is if the sinks are not running? Whatever it might be the TickyTack application allows you to get up to a five minute video of whatever you may want to be sure you did later. Our memories are not always perfect, but with the help of TickyTack you can let it remember some things for you just as a backup, in case you happen to need the help—which is ok if you do, coming from the developer, it is nice to have a small clip to reference those sort of things in my experience.
