nthLink: Secure and Private VPN Connectivity nthLink is a robust VPN designed to provide a secure and stable connection, even in unreliable network environments, such as those with slow connectivity or frequent errors. Most importantly, it incorporates strong encryption to safeguard users' information. Strong Privacy & Security nthLink client applications prioritize user privacy by minimizing data collection. No sensitive or personal information is stored on user devices, and user data is never transmitted to nthLink servers. Additionally, nthLink does not log traffic patterns that could be used to track personally identifiable information. The client IP addresses are hashed in server security logs, retaining only country-level data to ensure transparency and service reliability. By following a minimal-data approach, nthLink enhances user privacy and security—if we don’t have it, no one can access it. nthLink employs industry-leading encryption to protect user communications, helping prevent unauthorized access and ensuring a private browsing experience. Ease of Use The nthLink mobile app is designed for simplicity. Once installed, it does not require additional setup or registration. Users can secure their internet connection with a single tap, and nthLink’s automatic network discovery and recovery features help maintain a reliable connection.

Canaryly brings AI-powered translation directly into your workflow. Instead of opening a separate translation app, copying text, and switching between screens, Canaryly works through the iOS system Translation action. Select text in a supported app, tap Translate, and view the result directly in the Canaryly translation panel. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a supported AI provider. 2. Add your own API key and select a model. 3. Set Canaryly as the default Translation app in iOS Settings. 4. Select text in Safari, Notes, or another supported app. 5. Tap Translate to view the result without leaving your current context. KEY FEATURES • Translate selected text without switching apps • Support for multiple AI providers and models • Multilingual translation without assuming a fixed language pair • Customizable translation instructions PRIVACY AND CONTROL Canaryly does not require a Canaryly account. Your API credentials are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. Translation requests are sent directly from your device to the third-party AI provider you configure and do not pass through Canaryly-operated relay servers. Canaryly does not create a translation history or store your selected text and translation results on its own servers. REQUIREMENTS • An API key from a supported third-party AI provider • Provider usage fees, availability, and data-handling practices are determined by the provider you choose
