Open any EAGLE CAD file (from version 6 and above) directly on your iPhone and investigate the PCB layout and schematics with your finger. Select parts and signals, manage parts and Bill of Materials. Copper creates 3D versions of your PCB including parts that you assign from our extensive 3D model library to your footprints. Copper then renders a photorealistic representation in real time that you can touch, rotate and move in a virtual studio. Setup lights and materials like the solder mask or the floor. Import EAGLE files from any source like the web (just download a ZIP file with EAGLE files), from Github, your Dropbox, or send PCB files directly via Airdrop, Mail or iMessage to your iPhone or iPad. Every file you import is kept in Coppers library. This way you can build up a nice library of PCBs and Schematics right in your pocket. Copper is also available for the Mac and both share the same codebase and file format.

n-eight-n Workflows is open-source, and you can report a bug or request a new feature at: https://github.com/mgarciate/n8n-workflows-ios/issues This iPhone app is designed to activate and deactivate workflows in the n8n service. It works seamlessly with both self-hosted and cloud instances of n8n. Setting it up is simple: just enter the domain or IP address of your instance, along with the API key that can be obtained from the n8n configuration panel. In addition to managing workflows, you can also view the most recent executions for any specific workflow. The most exciting feature? The app integrates with the iPhone's Shortcuts app. This means you can trigger workflows without even opening the app, making it easier to activate or deactivate workflows with just a voice command or automation. You can further automate workflows by combining them with your iPhone’s built-in automations, such as activating a workflow based on your location, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection, or when opening and closing specific apps. This flexibility allows you to streamline and automate your workflows with ease, boosting your productivity and efficiency.
