Yes, I am a life recorder junkie and will never put my private data on the cloud. TrueCrypt is your best friend :-)

You should take a look at https://deniablevideo.com/ for any video you record. but for a fixed location like a home or office, since it's not a mobile device.

That 'deniable' part is a bit thin. Say, law enforcement finds this device at your home. Even if it is not plugged in, a case could be made that you have been videotaping. It would be more useful if this thing had a secondary function, say as a file server, and if it were priced like one (this box is US $5999.00 for 500GB)

The "Receive beautifully printed quarterly & annual reports with highlights and statistics." isn't prominent enough. To me, this is the killer feature - I've wanted this for years but I've been too lazy to collect it all myself.

Yeah, the printed quarterly report is a brilliant feature. I helped the everyday.me team with the design of it, esp around the data visualization bit. Excited to hear how people respond to it.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. We just need it to stay in touch with you and we don't want to spam your Facebook, Twitter, etc to do so. Re: the About page. Yes, in our rush we didn't have time to put up an About page to tell you more about us. We'll be putting one up soon. We really hope to build something that can help people collect and tell the stories of their lives. To me that's what gets me really excited, is kn…

You didn't answer his question about monitization. How will the product stay alive?

I'm sure those quarterly printed reports don't come free.

How are you installing this over the air? Are you using an enterprise license?

Probably using TestFlightApp: https://testflightapp.com/

From what I understand you still need user's udid with test flight. This just simply installs on any device.

Exactly, that's why I was so curious.

What a pointless app. You have a brain. it processes memories. Brains have worked pretty well for millions of years recording memories. And they don't require a Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

You mean that notoriously unreliable system which drifts over time by re-storing altered information during every recall, selectively stores some details and not others, and nearly always functions poorly during old age, the time when people would most like to tell stories and reminisce? That one?

Yeah, written records were probably the greatest advance of all time, simply because they aren't made of meat.

I had the same question. So I dug into the download page source and found an itms-services:// link pointing to a plist. This type of plist gives info about an app and points to an IPA which contains the app bundle itself. I've worked with enterprise certs before, and this was one of the ways we would initiate the intalls from a webpage.

So my guess is that they are indeed using an enterprise certificate. Though I can't be 100% sure, I can't think of anything else that would be done this way.

I was always under the impression that Apple required companies to have at least 500 employees to qualify for an enterprise cert. But, it looks like they might have lifted that restriction, which is fantastic.
