It’s not exactly a time machine, but it’s the next best thing

Faalsa Labs has this cool app on offer called HEARD, which enables you to listen to sounds from the past and choose to save those sounds as an audio clip.

It may sound like science fiction the first time you “hear” it, but it’s not. The app basically records all the time and buffers the last 1 minute in the free version, and the last five minutes in the paid version (in-app purchase).

When you think you’ve caught something interesting, such as your baby’s first words, just pull out the iPhone and tell HEARD to save those last few minutes as an audio clip. It’s that easy.

You can use tags to keep the clips organized, and you can even assign photos to them. The app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and requires iOS 5.0.
