Remember what you lend your friends! Borrow will help you remember what you lend and to whom, all preserved in a beautiful app that shows off your immeasurable generosity. Borrow was born out of a profound trauma: the loss of a screwdriver. Lent out of the goodness of his heart to an absent-minded friend, it got lost over time, and the identity of the borrower remains a mystery to this day. ADD A BORROW : To add a loan, simply enter the object's name, the borrower's name, a small classification category and a reminder date. You'll then be notified when it's time to ask your cousin to return your Mariah Carey Compil'. By linking each loan to a contact, you'll be able to contact the borrower by phone, SMS or even email, thanks to subtle shortcuts from within the app. Clever Bill. AND ALSO YOUR LOANS: There's also a " Borrows to return " section for you, which records all your loans and reminds you when they're due to return them to their owners. Because we know you're not one to keep a loaned screwdriver forever. FEATURES : - Notifications: Stop losing track of time and let us remind you when it's time to collect what's yours. - Contacts: With just a few keystrokes, you'll never forget who borrowed your Mariah Carey compilation. And when the time comes, easily contact the borrower by phone, SMS or even email thanks to subtle shortcuts from within the app. - Apple Watch, Widgets: Borrow has some great companions to make the experience smooth and enjoyable. So manage your various loans and borrowings from your phone widget, app icon shortcuts or even from your Apple Watch. - Multi-tasking: On the road or at home, enjoy Borrow on iPad in a perfectly adapted interface. Take advantage of the "split screen" mode to access the app at a glance without losing track of your activity. - Enhanced search: Search for a loan from within the system (Spotlight). Simply type in a contact's name, contact details, item name or even an item category. - Confidentiality: The application works offline. An automatic backup on a private iCloud container associated with your iCloud account allows you to synchronize your various devices (iPad, Apple Watch, Mac or even Apple Vision Pro), but also to restore your data should you inadvertently delete our little app. We do not have, nor do we wish to have, access to your personal data and information. We do not collect any usage data.

Avec GoToShop je peux gérer mes menus et mettre les menus des autres dans mes menus favoris. Ainsi, j'ai plus d'idée de menus et je peux gérer ma liste de course plus facilement. Lors de mes course, je vide ma liste au fur et à mesure que je remplis mon cady.
