Easily filter your iOS devices The iboss cloud Lite app provides proxy-free Web security, transparent single sign-on authentication, and user-based reporting for the iOS device family. iboss cloud Lite interfaces with the iboss Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and is tasked with securing iOS devices to ensure Web security and access policy enforcement. It offers the following features: •Extends iboss role-based Web security and access policies across iOS devices, whether they are on-premises, traveling, or at home •Provides a better end-user experience and a reduction in help desk calls Implementation is easy, only requiring the network administrator to push this app through their MDM solution, and then activate it via an appropriate MDM Content Filtering profile. On-premises, the iOS devices will be automatically bound by directory or user group to the security and access policies for each user. When the iOS devices are off-premises, the app will detect this and automatically filter traffic requests. No proxy is needed whether on- or off-premises and all activity is managed through the centralized iboss Threat and Event Console to ensure security and compliance. Note: iboss SWG firmware version of 8.2.0.90 or higher is required
HowTall
Read full descriptionHide full description
HowTall measures a person's height in real time using your iPhone Pro's camera and LiDAR scanner. Point the rear camera at someone, and HowTall instantly projects their head and feet onto the floor plane to read their height — no tape measure, no markers, no setup. Everything runs on-device using ARKit body-pose tracking and the LiDAR depth sensor. No images or measurements ever leave your phone. FEATURES • Real-time, smoothed height readout • LiDAR-accurate (uses the depth sensor, not camera estimation) • Save measurements locally with an optional snapshot • Share an annotated image via the iOS share sheet • Fully on-device — no accounts, analytics, or servers • Imperial and metric units REQUIREMENTS HowTall requires an iPhone with a LiDAR scanner: iPhone 12 Pro, 13 Pro, 14 Pro, 15 Pro, 16 Pro (or any newer Pro / Pro Max). iOS 17 or later. PRIVACY HowTall does not collect any data. The camera and LiDAR feed is processed in memory and discarded — no images, depth maps, or measurements are transmitted off the device.
