With only 24 hours in a day for everyone, and only 30,000+ days in a lifetime, and some even have less, time is that scarcest non-renewable resource (maybe many people don't feel it)! ToolsHub App aims to be your AI digital assistant to improve everyone's information acquisition, processing and time management efficiency and help you save time. Many apps are keen on trapping users in an information cocoon, unknowingly consuming a lot of valuable resources. This is not our goal, we advocate ""use it and leave it, use it again!"" Time Saver is the reason for our existence, and we've chosen to stand on the opposite side of most Time Killers. If we are lucky enough to help you save some of your time for something more valuable, everything we do will make sense. You don't need to look around for a tool app for a certain need or install a bunch of apps you don't use often. Simplicity and efficiency is what a tool/efficiency app should be! Launched features: (1) AI teleprompter: AI follows the speed of speech, reads where it shows up, and can be used in conjunction with other apps, the point is that it's completely free! (2) Floating clock & shopping reminder: the only one on the net can synchronize time with major platforms to help you buy tickets one step ahead of others! (3) full-screen clock: full-screen digital/dial clock, countdown clock, immersive work and study tool. (4) White Noise: Rain, wind, streams, sea, birds... The beauty of sounds from nature! You can freely combine various scenes. (5) Minimalist Browser: Let the browser return to its original appearance, as well as all kinds of commonly used URLs. (6) QR Code Generation: Generate all kinds of QR codes directly. (7) Screen Recording: Realize screen recording and audio recording. More features are on the way of development and testing, stay tuned~!

About

Hanzi

Features
Read full description

Hanzi turns any Chinese app into English, right on top of what you were doing. Shopping, food delivery, payments, banking, maps, social feeds: tap once and the whole screen comes back in English, every word sitting exactly where the Chinese was. Close it and you are still in your app, ready for the next tap. No more screenshot, switch app, upload, squint, switch back. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT • The screen, not a word list. Hanzi rebuilds the page in English, same place, same size, so buttons, prices and menus still make sense. • Deals decoded. Chinese discounts are converted properly: 88折 becomes 12% off, 万 becomes 10,000, and prices stay untouched. • Text inside pictures too. Banners, product photos and posters are translated where the text sits. • Traditional and Simplified Chinese, even mixed on the same screen. • Swipe to compare with the original Chinese at any time. • Pinyin and copy: open any translated screen as text, with the Chinese and pinyin for every line, and copy what you need. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Hanzi reads and translates on your iPhone or iPad with Apple's on-device engines. Your screens are never uploaded, not to us and not to anyone. It works offline once the language packs are installed. No account, no sign-up. SET UP ONCE, USE EVERYWHERE The first launch walks you through a one-minute setup. After that, a floating on-screen button (or a double-tap on the back of your iPhone) translates whatever is on screen. GREAT FOR • Living in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan or Singapore • Travelling in China with apps that only speak Chinese • Shopping on Chinese marketplaces and tracking deliveries • Reading payment, bank and utility notifications • Anyone who wants to read Chinese apps without switching the whole phone's language Hanzi translates Chinese into English only. The app itself is in English. HANZI PRO Try Hanzi on a sample screen and translate your first real screen before you decide. Hanzi Pro unlocks unlimited screens and pinyin text. • Hanzi Pro Yearly: 7-day trial, then $49.99 per year • Hanzi Pro Monthly: $7.99 per month • Hanzi Lifetime: $69.99, one-time purchase, no subscription Prices shown are in US dollars; your local price is always shown in the app before you buy.
