Desamber is a time format invented by Devine lu linvega. Each year has 26 months of 14 days each. Each month is denoted by a letter of the alphabet: A - Z. Each day is divided into 1,000,000 pulses. For example, noon is 500:000, 6AM is 250:000 and 6PM is 750:000. "In the decimal format, the shortest pulse equals 86.4 milliseconds, the second shortest 864ms and so on. 1 beat, or 1000 pulses, is equivalent to 86.4 seconds, or about 1m26s. A second is equivalent to 11.57 short pulses." - Devine -- This app shows a visual representation of the Desamber time format on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Questions or comments?

Every word you type. Every message. Every search. Every note to yourself at 2 AM that you deleted before sending. Your keyboard has seen all of it. Most keyboards send your keystrokes to a server for autocorrect and "improvements." The permission is buried in the terms of service. The data travels whether you meant it to or not. SafeType doesn't. There is nothing to send. Autocorrect, autocomplete, emoji suggestions, and on-device speech-to-text — everything works locally on your iPhone. No network calls. No telemetry. No log of what you typed, when, or to whom. This is not "we encrypted it." This is not "we anonymized it." This is: it never left your phone. That claim is backed by architecture, not policy. What you get: • Full keyboard with autocorrect and autocomplete • Emoji suggestions • On-device speech-to-text — no microphone data sent anywhere • No account required What we don't do: • No network access — by design, not by setting • No data collection of any kind • No keystroke logging • No analytics or telemetry • No cloud processing You type. The words are yours. That's it. From Digital Disconnections — software that works without watching you.
