About Looxcie

Looxcie Beginnings

Playing video-camera hot potato one day with his wife, the founder of Looxcie experienced a "what if" moment. What if you could video the events most important to you without being stuck behind the video camera? What if you could be a participant and capture video at the same time? What if you could share your experiences immediately with your friends and family without sacrificing your own enjoyment? Looxcie was founded in 2008 to answer these questions.

Looxcie Approach

We strive to develop products that:

  • Inspire you
  • Meet your needs with simple, elegant, intuitive functionality
  • Get the details right
  • Just plain work
