Timebox for Geeks

If you're an app developer yourself or if you're interested in a more technical description of Timebox, I wrote a post on Ray Wenderlich's Tutorials for iOS Developers site:

It also includes a little peek inside Timebox, describing some of the technology that we used to build the Timebox app.

Tell Timebox Your Story

If you don’t feel like typing, use the dictation feature on your iOS device to tell Timebox your story. 

When you are in edit mode of a story, tap the microphone button on the keyboard and start talking. Your iOS device will simply convert your words (and numbers and characters) into text. From what we’ve read it will hold about 30 seconds of dictation.

Our stories were transcribed pretty well but we did have to correct a few small mistakes probably because we were a bit mumbly. With practice I’m sure our error rate would go down.

Tell Timebox your stories and it will remember.  Easy. Fun. Convenient.

We Know You're Busy

You want to organize your photos, describe them with a few words and preserve them. Because you're busy the process needs to be convenient and quick. We can help you succeed in a few simple steps, at home or on the go and have fun doing it. 

We developed Timebox because we wanted to organize our thousands of photos. We also wanted to add the stories behind the photos and share them with our friends and family. 

A few photos were lost or misplaced along the way so we wanted to preserve what was left. We were further encouraged when our friends told us that they were vexed by similar issues with their own photos.

Being busy people we wanted something that was fast, simple and fun to use. Today, my Timebox has 226 stories with 2,700 photos. I have shared many parts of it and that makes me feel good.

We'd love to hear from you. All comments, feedback and suggestions welcome at info@timeboxapp.com.

Thanks.
