Quick! You're a person of interest and we need to know what you were doing 3 Fridays ago at 4:27 PM. Well... what was it? Where were you? Can you remember? Can you prove it??? Welcome to alibi. Partially inspired by Serial Podcast, alibi. combines power-efficient passive location tracking with Apple's TouchID to create a biometrically verified timeline of the places you've been. As you go about your day, alibi. will ask you to verify your location and identity with a fingerprint or passcode (for non-Touch ID devices). While you'll probably never need alibi. to prove your innocence (and let's be real, it wouldn't hold up in court if you did), you'll build a convenient record of the places you visit. Your alibi. timeline serves as a go-to resource for when your memory runs faulty. What about my privacy? Your alibis are yours. All data is stored on your device alone. If we ever make changes to that, you'll be the first to know. Battery? alibi.'s location tracking is passive when in the background, meaning we'll never turn on your GPS or do other high-power usage location lookups. Other questions? Suggestions?
