The Zscaler App for iOS includes both Zscaler Internet Access and Zscaler Private Access modules. Mobility has raised business productivity, but it’s brought its share of issues, as well. One of the biggest challenges is the need to provide complete, consistent security across devices that you may not own. The majority of web traffic from mobile devices comes from apps, not from standard browsers, so threats may not even be visible to traditional security appliances. Note: Zscaler App is used with an active enterprise subscription to Zscaler's Mobile Security service. Please follow instructions from your IT organization to use this app. Zscaler App automatically creates a lightweight HTTP tunnel that connects the user’s endpoint to Zscaler’s cloud security platform with no need for PAC files or authentication cookies. The Zscaler Cloud Service delivers one-step enrollment, with multifactor authentication support via SAML. If you are an end-user and have issues or concerns, please reach out to your organizations support. Client Connector does not collect any personal information about you, or your device, however traffic your device sends to websites and SaaS applications is visible by your company administrators.

About

ApplyArc AI

Features
Read full description

Turn a job post you explicitly choose into a clear, source-backed application plan without uploading your resume or documents to another service. ApplyArc AI reads pasted text, PDFs, and images with on-device recognition, then organizes editable requirements and preserves the exact source excerpt behind each one. Confirm the draft before it becomes part of your pipeline. Map every requirement to evidence from your resume, portfolio, projects, achievements, or notes. See what is already supported, identify genuine gaps, and create concrete next actions instead of repeatedly rereading the same job post. Track saved, preparing, applied, interviewing, offer, and closed stages on iPhone and iPad. Export work you own as PDF, CSV, calendar ICS, JSON, or a portable ZIP application pack. Share Extension import, App Shortcuts, and a next-action widget keep the workflow close at hand. Up to three active opportunities and complete single-opportunity exports are free. ApplyArc Pro Lifetime is one non-consumable purchase that unlocks unlimited active opportunities, complete-pipeline export, local backup and restore, and widgets. There is no subscription. Recognition, optional Apple on-device Foundation Models analysis, deterministic fallback rules, records, and exports stay on your device until you explicitly share a file. There is no account, developer backend, advertising, analytics, tracking, scraping, recruiter monitoring, automatic application submission, ATS score, or job guarantee.
