I created this app because I often wanted to capture moments when I didn't want to be the person holding a phone. One example was family holiday dinners with my beloved late grandfather. I wanted to put my phone somewhere before dinner, let it capture the evening, and simply be present with my family. I couldn't find an app that worked the way I wanted, so I built one. I hope this app helps you capture the moments where the best thing you can do with your phone is put it down and walk away. If you have a feature you'd like to see or run into a problem, I'd love to hear from you.
