Read full description

Möbius Sync brings Syncthing to your iPhone or iPad, allowing you to synchronize selected files between iOS devices and other devices supported by Syncthing, without the need for any cloud service. Supports multiple folders and multiple remote devices. Synchronized folders can be created either: 1. in the Möbius Sync sandbox and files can be added to and retrieved from shared folders via the iOS Files app; or 2. (PAID feature) by accessing other apps' sandboxes. This feature is EXPERIMENTAL and may break other app's functionality. Uses the open-source Syncthing engine internally. Usage within the Möbius Sync sandbox is free up to 20MB. Unlimited file sync, including files in other apps' sanboxes is available for a one-time purchase. NOTE: The functionality unlocked by in-app purchase is identical to that in Möbius Sync Pro (which is purchased up-front).

About

Axis Productivity

Read full description

Axis is one place for the things you're actually trying to keep track of. Most apps make you choose: a task manager here, a habit tracker there, notes somewhere else, and nothing that knows about anything else. Axis puts them in one app where they share context - so your tasks, calendar, routines and goals understand each other. EVERYTHING, FREE No trial, no locked features, no ads. PLAN YOUR DAY - Tasks with due dates, priorities and time blocks - A full calendar with events and classes, laid out hour by hour - Routines that repeat on any schedule - daily, weekly, or patterns you define - Projects with sub-projects, milestones and templates that spawn on a cycle THINK AND REMEMBER - Notes and a journal with rich text, plus voice notes you can dictate - Goals with sub-goals and metrics that update themselves - People - who matters, and what you last talked about TRAIN - Workouts, lifts and personal records - Body metrics and nutrition targets that adapt as you go - Route mapping for runs, and Strava sync NOVA, YOUR AI ASSISTANT Nova does things rather than just answering - adds tasks, reorganizes projects, writes notes. Each night it compiles your day into a digest, so your journal writes itself, and it remembers what matters so you don't repeat yourself. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No ads, no tracking, nothing sold to anyone. Face ID lock for the app and an encrypted vault for passwords.
