Kimd is an app created especially for concerts. It allows you to take photos and videos without being that annoying person with the “bigger than bigger“ iPhone 6 Plus glowing like crazy in everyone’s face. It’s free, super dark, gluten-free* and has no flash.

There could be other sneaky use cases too, theatre, cinema etc etc etc...

@thomhuxtable About theaters we believe that people should respect the etiquette. We created Kimd in order to make concert halls a better place but I'm sure people will find other ways to use it :)

For me, the phone and arms blocking my view would still pretty big contributors to "disturbing the crowd" :) Very curious to see if this app makes things better (reducing avg screen brightness), makes things worse (even more people blocking the view for photos), or has no effect (if the people who care are already being conscientious, and the people who don't care don't download)

@staringispolite Well, to be totally honest, we worked on this app because we were annoyed by people putting their phones in our faces. We don't try to promote this behavior in concerts but if people are using their phones, we would prefer that they to do it with respect for people around them. If we find a solution for taller people, arms and big hats, I hope we'll get a Nobel Prize ;)

@syswarren Haha yes exactly :) Maybe for your V2: Some sort of disrupter field so cameras don't work in the venue, and transparent hats
