Today we're introducing a new app to measure the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present and future, regarded as a whole. It's a new way to determine where you are in your day, your week, and even your life, and we're rolling it out across the iTunes App Store, Google Play and Windows Store starting today. We call it Ticky, and we're excited to share it with you.
First, here are a few highlights that make this release stand out:
Explore. The new Ticky for Mobile will allow you to see where you are in the context of your day, and everyone else's, using a concept called tocks. Everyone gets exactly 114,300 tocks from birth to EOL. Simply tap the face and you'll see an at-a-glance visual representation of where you are in your life's path. Tock, tock, tock. It's fun!
Memories. A beautiful sunset; young hands touching for the very first time; the way that special someone made your heart feel, long ago. Now you can record all your memories in Ticky, just by jabbing it with your finger.
A revolutionary design. Examine your contextual progress using a beautiful, existentially flat design.
And finally, Ticky is a way to discover valuable offers, constantly.
One thing you should know is that the universal concept of time will be retired. We understand that you may still want to discover how your progress in the context of past, present and future relates to your peers and all of reality around you. We anticipate that you will now do this using Ticky.
