Für Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner von Wohnbaugenossenschaften, welche sich untereinander vernetzen möchten, am gemeinschaftlichen Leben aktiv teilnehmen wollen und Geschäfte mit der Geschäftsstelle bequem erledigen möchten, ist Flink zugleich elektronischer Schalter der Genossenschaft, wie auch virtueller Treffpunkt für die Bewohnenden. Flink kommt als Mobile-App und Web-Applikation daher. Heute verwenden tausende Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner aus rund 60 Siedlungen Flink für den schnellen und einfachen Austausch von Neuigkeiten, Fotos und Angeboten sowie die Verwaltung von Ressourcen. Flink wird seit 2018 kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt und ab 2021 von einer Interessensgemeinschaft (IG) getragen. Wohnbaugenossenschaften Schweiz (Regionalverband Zürich) ist ein aktives Mitglied der IG. Durch den aktiven Vertrieb über die Interessensgemeinschaft wird ein Multiplikationseffekt erzielt: Sämtliche IG-Mitglieder sind Nutzniesser des vollen Funktionsumfanges der Applikation, bringen sich bei der Entwicklung der Roadmap und der Strategie mit ein und beteiligen sich an den Weiterentwicklungs- und Betriebskosten. Flink ist nicht kommerziell ausgerichtet. Von Genossenschaften - für Genossenschaften.

One quote on your lock screen. That is all Dictum does. You choose where the quotes come from: philosophy and Stoicism, science, fairy tales, classic books, courage, silence, truth — or specific people. You choose how they look: five typefaces, fourteen quote styles, three places on the lock screen. And you choose when they change: every quarter hour, hourly, daily, or only when you turn the page yourself. THREE PLACES • Above the clock — one line beside the date • Below the clock — two or three lines with the name • Round — a short quote in a circle YOUR SELECTION • Over 3,900 quotes in five languages • Categories you can look into before choosing • Well-known people as their own filter • Collections broken down to the individual work • Write your own quotes — they stand among the others YOUR QUOTE • Five typefaces drawn for screens: Libre Baskerville, EB Garamond, Newsreader, Lora, Inter • Fourteen quote styles, from classically centred to fragment • Preview on a real lock screen, not on a symbolic image WITHOUT ANYTHING ELSE No account. No ads. No subscription. No analytics. Dictum sends nothing and receives nothing — the app needs no internet connection. What you choose and what you write stays on your device. ABOUT THE TEXTS All quotes come from public domain sources: the authors died before 1956, the works appeared before 1931. Translations from other languages are our own renderings, not existing editions. Buy once. No subscription, no in-app purchases.
