Neomatix
Under-inflated car tires can be expensive and dangerous, and are bad for the environment. Neomatix tackles this problem in two ways: an enterprise solution using an electro optic sensor system to monitor tyre inflation across a whole vehicle fleet, and a consumer-focused app called TireCheck. The app is free but Neomatix can white-label the technology for car manufacturers and other companies in the automotive industry.

CanDoBaby
Aimed at parents, CanDoBaby is a Brooklyn-based startup focused on building apps that makes parents’ lives easier. Its first product is BabyBook. If offers prompts for the kinds of milestones that a child goes through in its first three years, from its eyes first making contact with yours, through to a toddler’s first steps and beyond.
For each milestone, parents can take multiple photos and assemble them into mini-gallery. From there, parents can order a printed book of the milestones in one of three sizes.
RareWire
RareWire offers a suite of products aimed at making it easier to build and test mobile apps. Its App Creation Studio, which launches out of beta today, allows developers to create native iOS and Android apps with the company’s own XML-based WIRE language as an alternative to having to work with harder-to-use tools like Apple’s own Xcode.
The startup is targeting enterprise clients who want to build apps in-house in a cost-effective manner. It’s free to download the App Creation Studio and to learn WIRE; you’ll only pay when you export an iOS IPA or Android APK.
