Draw your own timeline. Every scribble you make becomes your intuitive timepiece, and a red dot moves along it, marking the present moment. Time is observation and calibration. Before hours and minutes, humans observed time in the world around them—the stretch of a shadow, the bloom of a flower, the quiet drift of the stars. We expand that timekeeping tradition. You create your own timeline—an arc, a wave, a winding trail—and watch time trace it. Time Lines is a chronological investigation by Shashwath Santosh and Nithin Eluvathingal.

Put it away. Find it later. Just say where you put something — "the charger is in the kitchen junk drawer" — and WhereMate files the thing and the place. Months later, ask, and see the place, the photo and your note. • Say it, type it, or snap a photo. One sentence is enough. • Find anything fast: the place first, then the box, the photo and your note. • Every save shows what was saved, with Undo and one-tap fixes. • Places hold boxes, and boxes hold things. Know what's in every box. • Print a QR label for any box, or save it as a PDF. Scan the label with WhereMate to see inside. • Made for iPhone and iPad, in Light or Dark.
