"Theres no shortage of apps that want to help you document your life, but there are none quite like Kennedy." — The Verge
---
With one-tap Kennedy will capture layers of a moment including location, date and time, current weather conditions, latest world news headlines (which you can choose to hide)) together with what music youre listening to at the time. Add a note or a photo and then save it to the archive of captured moments.
Use the archive to relive past moments. Remember where you were when that big news event happened, or show all those moments when it was raining or when you were listening to that much loved song. Secure your archive using the Touch ID option.

"Kennedy (like Dawes other projects) is an experiment that challenges the way we interact with and interpret data." — Cool Hunting
---
Use the Data Explorers to explore your captures; see them grouped by locations on a map, geek out with stats and relive moments with postcards from the past.
Share any of your captures to Twitter, Facebook or via email and SMS.
Edit your photos, make adjustments and add effects using the built-in photo editor.
Choose from different headlines that were happening at the time and view the actual news article. Specify your own news source using RSS feeds - local, global, politics, technology, its up to you!
Sync Kennedy across all your devices through iCloud and backup and restore your data using Dropbox.
View a map of where you were stood when you captured the now; add a venue via a list provided by Foursquare and open the venue details in the Foursquare app.
Export your data to a standard JSON or CSV file so you can create your own data visualisations or import them into online data viz tools.
Filter the archive to find locations, weather conditions and more.
