Candid vs. Tinybeans

Tinybeans helps after you have the photo or video. Candid helps with the awkward part before that: getting the clip in the first place.

Capture first, share later

Tinybeans describes itself as a family photo-sharing app. Parents can save photos and videos, keep family in the loop, build a child's life story, and revisit memories later.

That is useful after the photo or video exists. Candid works one step earlier. It is for the split second when your baby does something worth keeping and you realize you were not already recording.
