Good job! simple & efficient design. Just tried it a bit, but seems a good way to remember great moments alcohol is trying to make me forget. Just a question where are the servers where my data is stored ?

Hey there @flo2sa, thanks for asking! The creators of Capsule put privacy before everything else. The app is Private by Design which means than none of your user data ever leaves your device. You data is yours and yours alone, nothing reaches a server and all your secrets stay in your phone! 🍋

@colas_kirschoff @flo2sa What happens when we get a new phone?

@xstex @flo2sa As long as you back up your data, you should be able to get everything back on the new phone, the same way you get your texts, photos, music back. Back up old phone, get a new phone, you'll restore a backed-up info, continue filling your Capsule. :)

@jameskoole you’re totally right. IOS backup and restore on a new phone. If you’re not backed up, then deleting the app deletes the data. Exactly. As far as iCloud goes, part of really sticking up for privacy by design (something that REALLY MATTERS to us!) is creating projects that do not require iCloud storage. So, if you do not connect iCloud (like me) and rather back up to your laptop, nothing goes to the cloud. PBD! (privacy by design)

@colas_kirschoff @flo2sa Glad you addressed this, now I very much want the app.

Hey everyone, This is Capsule the app that helps you remember everywhere. Capsule is an AI powered iOS app that helps track your movements through the city and connects the photos you take to the places you've been. Check Capsule for the name of that dive bar you hit last Friday night, or to find photos you took at the basketball game on the weekend. The app also keeps a weekly digest quantifying your week looking at metrics like the average time you leave the office to the number of places you visited in the evening.

@colaskirschoff hey Colas, this looks awesome. Love what you guys are doing with Snips as well! Quick question, will Capsule be running in background and that will add up to my weekly digest? Or I have to take pictures of whatever I am up to for Capsule to aggregate data?

@cemkozinoglu Thx for the kind words :) No need to take pictures every now and then, the moments will be recorded even if you do not open the app every day. Yes the app will run in the background but has amazingly low battery footprint. Note that the more you help the app know which places you were at, the more your weekly digest will be relevant.

@colaskirschoff is this just like swarm minus social?

@poolnoodle93 You're not the first person to make this comparison, @rrhoover also compared our product to Swarm but there are a couple major differentiators: - We don't record or see any user data, Capsule is Private by Design - We use your knowledge graph (contacts, email, calendar) to bring more clarity to your location and enhance results - We use passive tracking: we do not require the user to say that he stopped somewhere at some point. - We also show a weekly digest for the quantified self/bullet journal fans out there! We would love for you to check it out and hear what you think!

@colaskirschoff Very cool! But oy, that's a lot of App Store competition for 'capsule.' Isn't that annoying? Anyway, I just got it and am looking forward to seeing it after a week's worth of activity!

hey @colaskirschoff cool concept! Software looks really nice, and I dig the name. I also just recently started exploring Esplorio which does the same thing. One thing I noticed there, and with your app as well, is the erroneous business names that are assigned whenever the app thinks you're near something. For example, around my home apparently there is a chiropractor listed nearby and it says I'm there taking pictures a lot. I see you do have the "Home" setting which I assume would fix those, but the same thing happens when I'm out and about. For example, I took a picture with my wife a few weeks ago down in Maryland at a friends house, and Capsule said we were at "Rou Marketing" - I know this is a difficult solution to fix, but do you have any plans to address that? It kind of takes the magic away, and makes the process feel more manual to have to fix things.

@scawtent Happy that you like the concept ! About the fact that we associate Points of Interests to your locations, it’s true that it’s not always easy to do that. However there is a workaround to that: you can edit the places associated to your moments. And the more you do that, the more the app will learn from your behaviours and get the correct place. Also we’re crossing more and more sources, such as your address book, your calendar events, your pasteboard, reservations, et… to find hints that would help us find the right place.

How does it know precisely where I am in a dense city? I didn't know whether I am at a dive bar, or the barbershop next-door? Also, if I do want to check in, is there an Apple Watch app?

@mimi_wong Hello! Capsule will use the data of your habits to guess which kind of places you might be in. It use also a lot of other parameters (the rating, the affluence, the opening hours, etc..) that also will help it guessing. The more you edit it in the first days the better it become guessing your positions. As for the apple watch, it would be awesome to have such a way to check in quickly! we will investigate this for sure!

@quentin_zibra @mimi_wong note that you can "check-in" directly into the app, by editing the place of the visit

Looks really cool, any plans for adding trip details for commuting, expense reporting, that kind of stuff?

@colaskirschoff prioritizing the backlog for this product is probably a beast of a task! I've been playing with the app for 10 minutes and can come up with a list of 50 ideas.. good luck! looks great!!

Been waiting for something like this, looks like you nailed it. Can it or will it be able to track commute times?

@daniellarsson thx for the kind words ! You're not the first one to ask this, but we're not currently tracking movements in between stops right now. It would require us to track many more geolocations, hence resulting in a huge battery footprint. We did create an algorithm to estimate the transportation mode in between stops though :)

This seems like a much needed better version of the Moves app. Excited to try this out. @colaskirschoff will you be tracking movement between places as well? For example, If I take the train between Home and Work, will you automatically track that movement and attribute it to transit?

@colaskirschoff Awesome. Will see what it looks like once I actually go to a different location :). One last question: Do you expect to have a public API? I'd love to use with something like Gyroscope instead of Moves. CC: @aprilzero, @myusuf3

@daniel_schwartz To be honest that's not part of the short term plan right now, but things move fast here, so we might investigate this soon :)
