NFC Tools can read and write your NFC tags with a simple and lightweight user interface. By passing your device near an NFC chip, you can read the data it contains and interact with the content. The "Read" section allows you to see data such as: - the maker of the tag - the type of tag (ex : Mifare Ultralight, NTAG213) - the norm of the tag (ex : NFC Forum Type 2) - the available technology (ex: NFC A) - its serial number (ex : 04:85:c8:5a:40:2b:80) - the size of the tag and of the data on it - if you can write on the tag - all the data on the tag (NDEF format) NFC Tools can record standard information on your tags which will be compatible with any NFC device. For instance, you can store a VCARD to share your contact details easily, open an URL, share a phone number or even a geolocation. The "Write" section let you record standardised data such as: - a simple text - a link to a website - an email - a contact - a phone number - a predefined text message - an address or geolocation - a WiFi or Bluetooth configuration - personalised data - and more... The write function allows you to add as much data as you wish. This way you can record large quantities of information on your tag. The app also allows you to save the contents of your chip for later access. NFC Tools has been tested with the following NFC tags: - NTAG 203, 210, 210u, 212, 213, 213TT, 215, 216, 413 DNA, 424 DNA - Ultralight, Ultralight C, Ultralight EV1 - ICODE SLI, SLI-S, SLIX, SLIX-S, SLIX-L, SLIX2, DNA - DESFire EV1, EV2, EV3 - ST25TV, ST25TA - Felica If you encounter any problem, don’t hesitate to contact us. Notes: - Compatible from iPhone 7. - Use the "compatibility" mode to read/write Mifare Classic tags.
WristChatUI
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bring your own AI connection to iPhone and Apple Watch. WristChatUI lets you chat with a compatible service, use optional web search, and keep your conversations and returned source details together. YOUR CONNECTION, YOUR CHOICE Configure a base URL, model and any required API key. Choose OpenAI Responses, OpenAI Chat Completions or Anthropic Messages format for a compatible provider or gateway. WEB SEARCH WHEN YOU NEED IT Turn Web search on for a supported connection and model. Native search lets the model decide when to use the service's search tool. Or explicitly select a separate MiniMax plan search source or a search tool on your remote HTTPS MCP server. Your chosen chat model uses the returned references to answer. ADAPTS TO IPHONE DUO Use a conversation sidebar in wider windows and a focused chat on the outer display. Read at a comfortable width and keep unsent drafts and search choices while the layout changes. OPTIONAL VOICE Dictate questions on iPhone and listen to completed replies on iPhone and Apple Watch. Choose language, speed and automatic playback separately on each device. Microphone and speech access are requested when needed; automatic reply playback starts off. SEE THE SEARCH STATUS Distinguish an ordinary answer, retrieved reference material, successful search and an interrupted request. View source details and citation links when returned by your configured service. MADE FOR THE WRIST Start a chat with native Watch input or dictation. Read short paragraphs, lists and code on the small display. Watch complications, the Smart Stack widget and Siri Shortcuts help you start a new conversation. RECOVER WITHOUT LOSING THE QUESTION Stop an active response, retain a clearly labeled partial reply, or Retry the original question after a timeout. Retry replaces the interrupted reply without duplicating your question. Compact iPhone chats keep the conversation clear of the tab bar, while wider layouts keep navigation accessible. KEEP YOUR DEVICES TOGETHER Sync connection profiles, securely stored keys and chats with your paired Watch. Optionally back up and restore conversations through iCloud Drive, including compact source information. WristChatUI does not provide an AI subscription or ChatGPT subscription sign-in. Bring a compatible endpoint and any account or credentials it requires. Provider, model, plan, region and server capabilities determine search availability and usage charges. Independent search services have their own authentication and availability. A compatible Chat Completions endpoint does not automatically support native search. Watch network access depends on its available connection and your configured service. No developer-operated chat/search backend or analytics service. Read the privacy policy for configured-service data flows, paired-device sync and optional backups.
