Looop gives you peace of mind that friends and family are safe - without being intrusive. Are they having a typical or unusual day? Maybe it's time to check-in with them. In quick glance, you can see if their activity, and nearby weather. Why Looop? • Daily Reassurance: Know your loved ones are safe and going about their day, even without the details. • Weather Awareness: Get alerts for storms, flood warnings, extreme heat, or cold that might affect them. • Moments That Matter: Receive gentle notifications when something important changes. Looop isn’t about tracking or monitoring. It’s about reassurance, independence, and staying connected while reducing worry. Because caring from a distance should bring peace of mind, not added stress.

Uqbar

Uqbar identifies tension patterns and shifts from a person's usual behavior in video and voice — entirely on your device. WHAT IT MEASURES - Video signals: blinking, facial movement, gaze, lip compression, brow, head stability - Voice signals: pauses, hesitation, rhythm, volume shifts, false starts - Repetitive nervous patterns THREE MODES - Full analysis: record or upload any video with a visible face and get 19 behavioral signals with a clear 0-100 tension score - Comparison: two videos of the same person, side by side, to spot changes from their usual behavior - Live analysis: a real-time read while filming, with fewer signals and nothing recorded unless you choose to keep it PRIVATE BY DESIGN All analysis is processed locally on your iPhone using Apple's on-device frameworks. No accounts, no ads. Your videos, audio, and results never leave your device, and you can erase all history at any time. We only measure basic app usage (installs and purchases) to run our own advertising — never your videos or results. WHAT UQBAR IS NOT Uqbar is an experimental observation tool. It is not a lie detector, not evidence, and not a medical or psychological device. A change in behavior can mean many things — stress, tiredness, thinking harder, or nothing at all. It describes observable behavior only and cannot establish truthfulness or intent. Free daily allowance included. Extra use via credit packs or an optional Uqbar Pro subscription (monthly or yearly), with prices shown in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in your App Store settings.
