New Sharing App Looks to Out-Snap the Competition

Its differentiator is the ability to, in the words of the company’s tagline, “Take back control of your social media” by “backpeddling” on questionable decisions.

The app lets users or “peddlers” determine the lifespan of their images, videos, text messages or audio files “with less worry about how it may impact their future”.
