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

Termal Studio

Features
Read full description

Use Termal Studio to make shipping warnings, storage labels, gift notes and name tags. Combine text, photos and drawings, then send your design to a compatible Bluetooth printer. Edit one of 12 templates or start with a blank design. Change fonts, text size and alignment, resize pictures and adjust their black-and-white appearance. You can draw, erase, add frames, undo and redo. An approximate millimeter ruler helps with layout but is not printed. Select 1-10 copies in print preview to print labels one after another. Caveat, Allura, Lora, Oswald and Nunito support Turkish characters. A separate font is included for Chinese text. The fonts work without an internet connection. The app is available in Turkish, English, German, Spanish, French and Simplified Chinese. Choose a language in Settings. New templates use that language; names and text in your saved designs stay as you wrote them. Designs are saved automatically on your device. Reopen them to edit, or export a backup file. No account, ads or in-app purchases. You do not need a printer or internet connection to create designs. Deleting app data can delete saved designs, so keep backups. Printer support Printing requires a Bluetooth LE thermal printer that uses the MXW01 protocol and a 384-dot print head. Not every mini thermal printer or cat printer is supported. Printing has been tested on one Shenzhen Bailexin-labelled mini printer; its exact retail model has not been confirmed. Other models and firmware versions have not been tested. The “Possibly a printer” badge is not a compatibility guarantee. Run a small test print before first use and keep the app open while printing. A printer is required and is not included. Termal Studio is not an official printer manufacturer's app.
