PSWD is a comprehensive strong password generator for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Features of PSWD: • Four generation modes: random characters, pronounceable passwords that follow a consonant–vowel pattern, passphrases built from dictionary words, and dice for games • Word passphrases in nine languages — English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese and a hand-crafted Turkish list — mix several at once, or import your own word list synced through iCloud • Remove diacritics from a passphrase for sites that only accept plain ASCII letters • Passwords up to 128 characters, one or many at a time • Minimum or exact counts per character class — uppercase, lowercase, digits, symbols, and your own custom set • Exclude specific characters, or skip ambiguous look-alikes like 0 O o 1 l I • Group characters with a separator at regular intervals for readability • Entropy and strength calculated live as you configure • Save presets and load them anywhere — they sync between your devices through iCloud • Generate passwords from the Shortcuts app without opening PSWD • On the Mac: a menu bar panel, a system-wide global shortcut that generates and copies in one press, open at login, and an optional hidden Dock icon • On iPhone and iPad: a layout made for each device, with a choice of accent colors • Full VoiceOver support PSWD works completely locally on your device. It does not collect, store or transmit anything — not the settings you enter, not the passwords it generates. It is a sandboxed app that takes your privacy seriously.

About

PrecastX

Features
Read full description

PrecastX is a concrete maturity monitoring platform designed for precast manufacturers, ready-mix producers, and construction teams. It connects wirelessly to PX-Sens temperature sensors and PX-Base gateway devices using Bluetooth to collect real-time thermocouple readings, ambient temperature, and humidity data during the curing process. Key features Real-time sensor monitoring View live temperature and humidity data from up to three thermocouple channels per sensor. The system also provides automatic strength estimates based on concrete maturity. Project and product management Organize work by project and track individual precast products such as beams, columns, slabs, and other elements. Log activities with photos, mix designs, formwork details, and slump values. Reading sessions Start timed recording sessions, attach photos, assign probe placements, and review results through interactive charts. Reports can be exported when needed. Offline data and sync If a sensor operates without a cloud connection, the data is stored on the device and synced through Bluetooth once a connection is available again. Notifications and alerts Set temperature and humidity limits and receive alerts when values go beyond the defined thresholds so you can respond quickly. Team collaboration Create organizations, invite team members, and manage roles. Everyone on the team can access the same projects, products, and sensor data. Device management Discover nearby devices, check battery and signal status, update firmware, and export raw sensor data for deeper analysis. Multilingual support Available in English and Turkish, with language preferences synced across devices. PrecastX requires PX-Sens or PX-Base hardware to capture sensor data.
