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).

Features
Read full description

Cards & IBANs is a private vault designed for fast, simple, and secure access to your card and IBAN details. Card numbers, expiry dates, cardholder names, bank names, and IBANs are stored encrypted on your own device. The app does not require an account, connect to your bank, or send your vault data to our servers. With Cards & IBANs, you can: • Organize bank cards, credit cards, and virtual cards in one place. • Save, copy, and share IBAN details with ease. • Mark important cards as favorites for quicker access. • Keep card numbers hidden by default and protect sensitive actions with an app lock or biometric authentication. • Recognize selected card networks from card-number patterns. • Choose distinctive card appearances and personalize your vault. • Use the app in English or Turkish, with light and dark themes. Cards & IBANs is not a banking, payment, or money-transfer app. It does not access bank accounts, initiate payments, transfer money, or request bank passwords. For your safety, Cards & IBANs does not support storing card PINs, online-banking passwords, CVV/CVC values, or verification codes. No ads. No in-app purchases. No mandatory account. Just a private card and IBAN vault that stays on your device.
