Dash IoT Dashboard is a professional IoT and IIoT monitoring and control platform for connecting, visualizing and managing connected equipment and devices โ€” from a single installation to distributed device fleets. Libraries are available for seamless integration into many IoT device technologies including Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and other Linux devices. The drag and drop design environment allows you to create beautiful dashboards without the need to write code. With highly customizable controls (widgets) you can design your dashboard to have your own โ€œlook and feelโ€. With a Dash account and a subscription, you can access the Dash cloud IoT platform, which includes the Dash MQTT broker, to allow the Dash IoT Dashboard to monitor and control your devices from anywhere. The Dash cloud IoT platform also provides many benefits such as push notifications, IoT device data storage, automated device discovery, device sharing and backups. The Dash IoT app can be used without an account, but will only be able to connect to IoT devices through BLE and TCP connections. The dash protocol is open, providing transparency, continuous improvement, and so you can implement your device code any way and anywhere you wish. - Connect to electronic devices with one or more BLE, TCP and Dash MQTT connections - Dash manages seamless transition between the different connection types - Share devices with other users - Provision TCP or MQTT credentials through BLE or SoftAP and even re-provision through TCP or MQTT once they are connected - Device discovery using any connection type - Highly customizable controls (colors, style, icons etc.) - Configure the Dash IoT Dashboard layout from the connected devices - Free to use for up to five BLE and TCP connections without an account - Store device data on the Dash server - Manage groups of users within an organization

About

Secure Zip & Unzip

Read full description

Secure Zip & Unzip creates password-protected ZIP archives with real AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by 7-Zip, WinZip and WinRAR. iPhone and iPad can zip and unzip files. Neither can put a password on one. That's the gap this app fills. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No sign-up. No uploads. Your files are encrypted and decrypted entirely on your device. The app never connects to the internet. REAL ENCRYPTION, NOT THE OLD KIND AES-256 in the WinZip AES standard, not the weak legacy ZIP 2.0 password scheme that many apps still use. OPENS ANYWHERE Your archives work with the Files app, macOS Finder, Windows, 7-Zip, WinRAR, WinZip and The Unarchiver, with no special software needed on the other end. ENCRYPT FROM ANY APP Share files from Mail, Photos, Files or anywhere else and protect them without leaving the app you're in. Share a protected ZIP back and it opens straight at the password prompt. BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD A native design that follows the system, with a two-column layout and full windowing on iPad. Browse your archives with real thumbnails and Quick Look preview, import straight from your photo library, and drag and drop files from anywhere. ALSO ON MAC The Mac version adds right-click support in Finder, so you can protect or open an archive without opening the app at all.
