Gladys is a drag-and-drop shelf that holds things you want to set aside, such as links, text snippets, map locations, contacts, images, photos, emails, messages and much more (even if the application that the information came from is removed) It works with any app that supports drag-and-drop, and helps keep you focused by letting you quickly set something aside, without having to consider where it needs to be dropped, or having to constantly switch between apps. • Works with any app that supports drag-and-drop, but also provides an extension for apps that don't yet support it, as well as the ability to paste items to & from the clipboard. • Quickly search for items inside the app or via Spotlight. Access your top items from the home screen / Today widget, your Apple Watch, and even iMessage. • Annotate items with notes, custom titles, and tag items with labels that allow you to easily categorise, browse, and sort your collection. • Take your collection with you on your iPhone, and keep it updated by turning on automatic iCloud syncing. • Invite friends to keep items from your own collection in their own collections, and, if you give permission, even collaboratively annotate and edit them. • Import/export/merge collection archives simply by dragging. • Ideal for bookmarking between apps: For example you can quickly return to dropped email items by selecting 'Open' in their info view, quickly share links between different browsers, or use Siri shortcuts to copy often-used items to and from your clipboard. • Experienced users can get details on dropped items and extract or modify specific data components (e.g. extract the URL of an image link, instead of the whole item, add a new image, or edit the title). • Technical users can inspect binary data using the in-built hex viewer, download items pointed to by web links, and even archive web pages. • Contains no analytics, ratings prompts, or noise.

IDS Log M1

Features
Read full description

The app lets you store your daily notes on whatever you want to take note of in a database of nine fields which you can label as you wish. If you was wanting to have a simple app doing such and didn't find, je veux vous presenter the first essai of IDS Log. The restriction to nine fields is due to keep it simple and to let you have your focus on categories that matter to you. (In a future version there will maybe the possibility to create multiple databases that could cover different categories.) Speaking of categories: the Input View presents just nine empty fields labeled with your custom category labels (or the default: these are also fine - but I recommend you to decide yourself on which subjects to your life you want to take notes.) Into these fields you will input your observations, stories, dreams..., notes about weather, plants, politics..., what you work and read or even what you ate. You're free. In the Log View you'll be presented your notes, the timestamp of when you took the note is added automatically (when saving your Log input in the Input View.) A Search View gives you an opportunity to query your notes, using regular expressions. You are still not able to edit your notes; I dont know if this is necessary. So it's a passive way of writing and keeping and viewing what you held worth remembering. Simple is that. And fine or not: the Log entries are synced over your devices, if not switch off iCloud sync. (The database still remains very small unless you decide to copypaste your whole digital library into it...) #### features - export entries database to a custom format (.csv, sqlite) #### notes If you want to complain about what you get with this, please keep in mind, that in the moment the app is free (which may change some day) and that I mainly created this for my own purpose and it wks fine I say. You are very welcome to give constructive critique on what features you are missing or what you would want to have realised any other ideal way. Bitte beschweren Sie sich nicht über eine fehlende deutsche Benutzeroberfläche; die Bedienung ist weitgehend intuitiv und enthält ohnehin nur sehr wenige (englischsprachige) Bedienelemente, deren Übersetzung heutzutage nicht als notwendig erachtet wurde. Just keep learning... It's possible there's hidden a donate button for support further development and cover expenses if I may. But there's surely no advertisement. Be happy...
