About

I Need Aid

Features
Read full description

If you need help while abroad, you may not know the numbers for the emergency services. This application determines the country you are in and displays the emergency numbers (police, ambulance and fire brigade, plus your location - address, latitude and longitude). If for some reason your location cannot be determined (perhaps you have disabled the location services, or the GPS reception is poor), then you can select the country from a list, and access the numbers that way. In both cases, calling the emergency number is easy - just click the button! The application also includes an SOS beacon, utilising your camera flash. If your device does not have a flash, the screen will still become a beacon, turning bright white, and then dark. You can share your location with the emergency services, or friends, from within the application. A very useful application when travelling abroad! Note: while best efforts have been made to verify all the emergency numbers, local authorities can change them at anytime. The application developer holds no responsibility if the numbers are no longer correct; you use this app at your own risk.

# Streamlined Functionality Claritist has been meticulously designed to facilitate the seamless implementation of the Getting Things Done methodology, prioritizing simplicity and user-friendliness. Notably, the application incorporates a "Tickler File" feature, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex "Due Date" or "Start Date" configurations. # Robust Security Measures Rest assured that all your valuable data is securely stored within iCloud infrastructure, leveraging the same technology that underpins iOS's native applications like reminders and notes. This stringent security protocol ensures that your data remains confidential, inaccessible even to our developers. # Effortless Information Capture Efficiently capture a wide range of content into your Claritist Inbox, employing various methods such as the in-app interface, voice commands via Siri, or direct sharing from other applications. Whether it's an intriguing YouTube video or critical information, sharing it with Claritist ensures it will be effectively processed at a later time. # Methodical Clarification and Organization Claritist empowers you to systematically clarify and organize your tasks and information into distinct categories, tailored to specific timeframes and locations where you intend to take action. Each category is customizable, allowing for easy identification through the use of unique icons. # Regular Reflection Maintain the freshness and effectiveness of your task management system through weekly reflection. Utilizing checklist items facilitates comprehensive reviews, encompassing all content from your Inbox to your creative lists. # Targeted Engagement Once your tasks and information are properly organized, select a context in which you wish to engage and sort items based on available time and energy resources. This approach simplifies the process of selecting the most suitable actions for any given moment. # Basic Version This is a comprehensive version of the application, with just one restriction: the inability to create new lists. Kindly contemplate upgrading to the full version if you find value in using the app.
