TIMEFLIP2 is an interactive time tracker, designed to make logging time an intuitive and enjoyable task. TIMEFLIP2 is powered by a mobile app and a web service to store, process and visualize time data. Unlike popular software time tracking tools, TIMEFLIP2 is a physical connected device. This provides for radically different user experience, ease of use and instant adoption. TIMEFLIP2 was created for individuals and teams to help them track time, control their work patterns, bill hours and analyze productivity in the most user-friendly manner. TIMEFLIP2 is the tool for everyone who needs to measure (and bill) time spent per project/client/process or seeking a tool to control and improve productivity, for example applying different patterns and techniques like pomodoro. Our typical users work in industries like: software development, consulting, design, marketing, media, education, legal, etc. At the start, user marks TIMEFLIP2 sides with the tasks or activities he/she wants to track and assigns them once in the mobile app. Whenever one wants to start tracking a task or activity, he/she simply places TIMEFLIP2 with the corresponding side facing up and the device automatically starts clocking time for it. Thus, all user time stats is logged and visualized in the app or web service and can be exported in xls or csv format. While logging time for a task, TIMEFLIP2 blinks periodically in user-defined task color to notify on current task status. TIMEFLIP2 can be used both as direct and pomodoro timer. In the latter case, the device starts blinking in red color on approaching user-defined time interval to signal the end of Pomodoro sprint. All user-generated time data is stored securely in AWS cloud and is synchronized with the device regularly or on demand. For more details on user data policy, please, refer to our Privacy Policy. TimeFlip2 has an on-board memory to store data of 1166 flips (30-40 days of activity). It has been designed as a network-independent solution from the very beginning. Once TIMEFLIP2 device is initially set up with an app it does not require a network or permanent connection to the app/smartphone to operate. Every time TIMEFLIP2 app is opened, it will immediately synchronize with the device and read out all generated time data, sending it to the cloud.

SoundMeter Pro 2020 is not recommended for new purchases. SoundMeter X offers perpetual license and subscription options for the latest tools and features. SoundMeter Pro turns your iOS device into a handheld data-logging sound level meter (SLM), data-logging noise dosimeter, multi-channel data recorder, and real-time analyzer (RTA). Input signals can be acquired from the current audio input path (iOS automatically selects the audio input path according to which external audio devices, if any, are connected to your iOS device). Sensitivity calibration can also be performed for any audio input device or input channel. In addition to real-time sound level measurements, SoundMeter can stream raw sound data to audio files, and store acquired sound level data, including date, time, and location, in CSV or TXT (tab-delimited) files, MAT-files, or high-resolution PDF images for later retrieval from your device. Features: - Level Meter -- Lp, Leq, Lx sound levels -- Standard Flat, A, C frequency weighting -- Standard Fast, Slow, Impulse time weighting -- Data logging. Data can be logged as often as every 0.1 seconds for up to 8 hours, every second for up to 72 hours, or every 10 seconds for up to two weeks. -- Event notifications - Max Levels Meter -- Traffic-light-style meters make it easy to monitor 2 separate sound level thresholds in 2 independent user-defined frequency bands. -- Define lower (warning) and higher (limit) sound level thresholds for overall (full audio band) levels as well as for individual octave frequency bands. -- Store user-defined thresholds in files for later recall. -- View auxiliary sound level or octave spectrum display with the device in landscape orientation. - Noise Dosimeter -- 8-hour Noise Dose, Projected Dose, TWA calculations -- Criterion Levels: 80, 85, 90 dB -- Exchange Rates: 3, 4, 5 dB -- Data logging. Data can be logged as often as every 0.1 seconds for up to 8 hours, every second for up to 72 hours, or every 10 seconds for up to two weeks. -- Event notifications - Octave Analyzer (RTA) -- Lp, Leq, Lx sound levels -- Supports whole or 1/3-octave frequency bands -- Standard Flat, A, C frequency weighting -- Standard Fast, Slow, Impulse time weighting -- Data logging. Data can be logged as often as every 0.1 seconds for up to 8 hours, every second for up to 72 hours, or every 10 seconds for up to two weeks. -- Event notifications - Data Recorder -- Supports up to 8 channels -- Live monitoring of recorded data -- Metadata (including calibrated sensitivity) embedded in audio file (AIF, CAF, WAV), optionally saved in separate data file - Signal Generator -- Left and right outputs assigned to arbitrary hardware output channels -- Random and pseudorandom (periodic) noise sequences with white or pink spectrum -- Linear and logarithmic frequency sweeps -- Dual periodic waveforms with arbitrary frequency and phase difference Learn more about SoundMeter Pro 2020 at FaberAcoustical.com. SoundMeter Pro 2020 will receive major upgrades, consistent with those available in the SoundMeter X Pro subscription, through calendar year 2021, after which it will receive maintenance updates for a limited time. It can be used indefinitely thereafter on a compatible version of iOS.
