••• Requires xScope 4 available from the Mac App Store ••• xScope Mirror lets designers and developers effortlessly preview any Mac desktop image directly on your iOS device or Apple Watch. Unlike other preview apps, xScope Mirror doesn’t have any desktop chrome to get in your way while you work or require you to save files again and again. Simply launch xScope Mirror on iOS and then xScope on a Mac to begin. Confirm the connection on iOS and then drop an image file onto the Dock icon for xScope. A remote connection to Photoshop is also supported: this lets you preview changes in your PSD while you edit. The Mirror can also display any window on your Mac or images copied to the clipboard. Finally, any image that's displayed on the iOS device can be transferred to the Apple Watch by tapping on its screen. Layouts that are taller than the watch's screen are scrollable. Any file that matches the icon sizes for the Apple Watch will be presented with circular mask against a black background, allowing quick asset previews. Features include: • Remote Viewing – Easily view the contents of any Mac desktop window on your iOS device or Apple Watch • Apple Watch – Includes a watch extension that makes previewing on your wrist a snap! • Pin & Lock – Move the Mac window anywhere (even under other windows) & it always stays in focus on iOS • Chromeless UI – No overlaid chrome to get in the way while you work • Retina Scaling - Preview mirrored content 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 or 1:3, great for testing on Retina devices • Compatibility – Runs on all devices using iOS 5 or later • Security – Toggle user authentication requests on/off via Preferences in the xScope desktop app • Multi-client – Multiple iOS devices can connect and view the same Mac window – Great for demos or meetings • Sharing – Copy the current image to the iOS clipboard or save it in your Photos • Nudge – Nudge the selected window one pixel at a time (useful on Retina displays)

About

ScreenPlay Rewards

Features
Read full description

ScreenPlay is a family rewards app that transforms screen time from a daily battleground into a privilege kids genuinely earn. Children accumulate points by completing chores and demonstrating positive behaviors, then redeem those points for minutes on their favorite devices: PlayStation, iPad, TV, Computer, or Nintendo Switch. Parents set the rules: which tasks earn points, which behaviors result in deductions, how much each device costs per child, and whether balances carry over week to week. Kids log in on their own device, submit the tasks they completed each day, and watch their balance grow as parents approve submissions in real time. A built-in countdown timer enforces limits automatically, a family leaderboard sparks friendly sibling competition, and every element of the system is customizable to fit the way your family actually lives. ScreenPlay doesn't just manage screen time it teaches kids that effort has value, choices have consequences, and the things worth having are worth working for.
