Life Indexing Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Retrospect App by Moonshot Labs Records and Indexes Moments

— May 5, 2013 — Tech
The Retrospect app currently being developed by Moonshot Labs promises to allow you to replay and search moments of your life. The app periodically records your location and audio while indexing this data to create a scroll-able timeline of your moments.

Running in the background, Retrospect intelligently records your daily interactions. These recordings are then uploaded to the Moonshot servers where topic detection algorithms tag and organize your moments. The result is a searchable database of audio from your life. Searches like “Conversations with Jane at work” would return clips of dialogue that were previously stored.

With the app recording everyone indiscriminately, privacy concerns are an issue. Moonshot plans to address this by educating users about local privacy laws. In addition, users will maintain full ownership of their data.
Trend Themes
1. Life Indexing Apps - Personalized life recording and indexing applications are on the rise, presenting opportunities for companies to advance the technology and explore new business models.
2. Topic Detection Algorithms - The increasing development of topic detection algorithms to effectively process and categorize vast amounts of life data provides opportunities for innovation in fields such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
3. Privacy Education Technology - Privacy concerns around life indexing apps present opportunities for businesses to develop educational resources about local privacy laws, and for entrepreneurs to develop new privacy-enhancing technologies that build user trust and confidence.
Industry Implications
1. Digital Health - Personalized life recording and indexing apps may hold valuable data for doctors, and could pave the way for predictive healthcare analytics and telemedicine solutions.
2. Personal Security - Life indexing apps can increase personal security for individuals, presenting opportunities for companies to provide other innovative security solutions that leverage user data for heightened safety and protection.
3. Artificial Intelligence - Technology that organizes and categorizes vast amounts of data into meaningful and useful insights through topic detection algorithms provides significant potential in the field of artificial intelligence, creating opportunities for companies to develop applications and advances in this area.
