Dashy

Dashy is a new iPhone app that lets you turn an iPhone mounted somewhere in your car into a dash cam. Using the rear camera, Dashy can record a video of your trips so that, in case of an accident, you can simplify the insurance claim process with a recorded video of what happened. Dashy can attach location data to tracked events and lets you export images, plus it can keep a record of other trip metadata such as start and end time, distance, top speed, and more. I hope I’ll never get to use Dashy for its intended purpose, but I’m glad something like this now exists in case I want to install a dash cam without having to buy a dedicated device.
