On a slow connection? Speed up Safari with Speedafari! "Kinda crazy, but it works." - Federico Viticci, Macstories.net Speedafari blocks unnecessary parts of websites from loading. By removing part of the experience (ads, tracking scripts, external fonts, videos, etc.), you save time, battery, and data. Speedafari is always just a swipe away, in the notification center. Just tap once, and — boom — Safari speeds up. No need to switch browser. Easily switch between three different aggressiveness levels — low, medium, and high. The higher the aggressiveness, the more will be blocked, and the faster the page will load. Note that some website functions may not work at all with the medium and high levels. Whitelist the sites you love to support them, by letting them show you ads. Use the Speedafari URL scheme to toggle speedup and change the aggressiveness, from inside other apps. For example, you can make Speedafari semi-automatically trigger upon leaving home, by using it in combination with the Launch Center Pro app. Out in the woods? With Speedafari, you don't need to worry about slow internet anymore! "Speedafari is a blocker that strips away everything it can so you can still load pages even when your connection is crap." - Thorin Klosowski, Lifehacker.com Oh, and don't worry about privacy! Speedafari has no access at all as to what web pages you visit. Note that all features are included in the download price, and that in-app purchases are not required to unlock anything. The in-app purchases simply provide a means to voluntarily support the development of Speedafari. What our users say: – "You didn't know that you needed this nifty little app until you used it; then, you wondered how you could have gone this long without it! Flawless so far." – "On its highest level of blocking it eliminates *all* graphics, which is terrific if you have limited bandwidth or just want to get to a site's text. [...] Very useful, unique features make this a must-have for me. Recommended." – "The ability to quickly turn it on and off and change the aggressiveness through the notification menu is a win win." – "It works beautifully." – "One of the best app purchases made" – "Get it. Quickly." Developed and designed by Arvid Lunnemark.

FlexiCalc combines a calculator with a free-form canvas, so your numbers, formulas, notes, and calculation steps stay together instead of disappearing after you get an answer. It is built for calculations you need to revise, extend, or compare. Plan a loan, test investment returns, stack shopping discounts, adjust a quote, or check changing measurements on one clear canvas. Edit a source number and every linked result updates automatically—no starting over. KEY FEATURES - Linked calculations: Continue from any existing result. Change an earlier value and all dependent steps update automatically; inspect where a number came from and where it is used - Free-form canvas: Drag numbers, operators, text, and full expressions anywhere. Add labels such as “tax rate” or “discount,” zoom with two fingers, use the mini map, and keep formulas on one line - Searchable history: Calculations are saved automatically. Rename, delete, and switch between pages, or search by page name and number notes - Number labels: Mark values as “cost,” “profit,” “interest,” and more. Keep results highlighted and set their display format and precision independently - Ready-to-use templates: Start with loan, investment, discount, cost, and profit templates, or save your own reusable setup - Scientific keyboard: Use common scientific functions and long-press a function key for a short explanation and example - Voice input: Speak numbers and operators to reduce manual entry - Cloud sync: Pro users can keep calculations in sync across devices and continue at home, at work, or on the go MADE FOR REAL-WORLD CALCULATIONS - Loans and mortgages: Compare payment plans and see monthly payment and total interest changes as you adjust the rate - Saving and investing: Explore compound growth, recurring contributions, and deposit interest side by side - Shopping: Combine sale prices, percentage discounts, and coupons to find the final price - Quotes and business: Rework cost, tax, profit, and margin assumptions without rebuilding the calculation - Engineering checks: Track elevation differences, cut-and-fill values, pipe levels, and multi-step measurement corrections while linked results stay current FlexiCalc is more than a place to get an answer.
