Easily manage and send email to groups from the app, share documents to groups directly from other apps, or forward email to a group. Try MailShot for free with up to three groups, of up to five people in each. A simple in-app upgrade unlocks the ability to create up to 100 different groups of 100 or more contacts (Limits depend on your email provider.) Create groups in many ways: add from Contacts, import an address book group, enter addresses directly, or paste strings of names and addresses. MailShot creates its own groups, which can do several things which regular address book groups cannot... • Contacts can use different email addresses for each group. (Add work address to a work-related group, and home address to a sports group etc.) • Contacts do not need to be present in your address book. TIPS • Protect privacy by placing addresses in the Bcc: line. • To forward an email (with attachments), “Copy to clipboard" then paste to the address line in your Mail app. SUPPORT We pride ourselves on our quality of support and are always happy to hear from you. Please use the "Support" button in the app, as it will include useful diagnostic information. You can also find a full User Guide, support information and tips at http://solubleapps.com/Mailshot-support.

OmniScan — Fast, Private QR & Barcode Scanner OmniScan is a lightning-fast, privacy-first scanner that reads QR codes and barcodes the instant your camera sees them. No sign-up, no internet connection, no tracking—your data never leaves your device. BLAZING-FAST SCANNING Point and scan. OmniScan uses on-device machine learning to detect QR codes and barcodes in real time, so results appear the moment the code is in frame. Enable the optional scan sound for instant audio confirmation. SMART DUPLICATE HANDLING Tired of scanning the same code twice? OmniScan gives you four ways to deal with duplicates: • Ask — prompts you the first time, then remembers your choice for the session. • Skip — silently ignores duplicates and shows a quick banner. • Count — tallies repeats with a ×N badge on the original entry. • Add as new — keeps every scan as a separate record. BUILT-IN HISTORY Every scan is saved to a local, on-device database automatically. Browse your full scan history, search by code, and manage entries with batch select—copy or delete multiple records at once. History is preserved even when you clear the current scan session. ONE-TAP COPY & SHARE Copy a single code or all selected codes to your clipboard in one tap. Scanned URLs can be opened directly in your browser with a single tap. PRIVACY BY DESIGN • 100% offline—no internet connection required. • No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics. • All scan data is stored locally on your device. • Camera access is used solely for scanning. KEY FEATURES • Instant QR code and barcode recognition • Four configurable duplicate-scan modes • Persistent local scan history with timestamps • Batch select, copy, and delete • Optional scan confirmation sound • Open scanned URLs with one tap • Clean, distraction-free Material Design interface • Works completely offline OmniScan is the perfect tool for inventory counting, event check-ins, ticket scanning, product lookup, URL collection, and any task where speed and privacy matter. Download OmniScan and start scanning in seconds—no setup required.
