Call the people who matter with one tap on their photo — the beloved speed dial of classic mobile phones, reinvented for your iPhone. Assign your favorite contacts to positions on a rotatable 3D wall and reach them instantly: call, text, WhatsApp, Signal, email or FaceTime. • QUICK AND EASY 1x tap to call. 2x tap to text (SMS/iMessage). 3x tap to WhatsApp. 4x tap to email. 5x tap to FaceTime. You can change what each tap count does in Settings (including Signal), or long-press a contact for a menu with all its actions. You can even make single contacts always use WhatsApp for calls. • NO NUMBERS REQUIRED The app reuses the contacts already stored on your iPhone — no retyping numbers, email addresses or photos. If you change a contact in the Contacts app, the wall updates automatically. IMPORTANT: That is why Quick Fav Dial needs access to your contacts! Without access, the app cannot work and will forget all assignments after a restart (you can fix this later in your iPhone's Privacy settings). • ASSIGN SINGLE ACTION (NEW) Dedicate a position to exactly one action — e.g. "always WhatsApp Grandma" — no matter how often you tap. • UP TO 48 POSITIONS & 3D SCROLLING Enough space to visually group family, friends and colleagues in their own areas. Fast horizontal 3D scrolling — now also in landscape. • MULTIPLE ASSIGNMENTS By default the app stores the first phone number and email address of a contact. Want a different one? Enable "manual field selection" in Settings or assign the same contact to a second position — the app will ask which number or email to use (email texting enables iMessage instead of SMS). • COLOR THEMES & DARK MODE Twenty-one designs to match the display to your style. Prefer extra large photo buttons (e.g. for seniors or visual impairments)? Check out Quick Fav Dial XL.

CanvLess is a shared map of the security cameras investigators have found, built for verified United States law enforcement agency personnel. When something happens, the first hours decide whether footage survives. CanvLess shows the cameras other investigators have documented around a scene: where each one is, which way it faces and how far it sees, who owns it, how long it keeps footage, and who to ask for it. TRY IT FIRST A short demo on sample cameras runs before you sign in: drop a canvass, see which footage runs out first, then place and aim a camera. Nothing in the demo is real. CANVASS Press and hold where it happened, or drag the circle over the area you need. Set the time, and the cameras are listed by when their footage will be overwritten, so you knock on the right doors first. SEE WHAT EACH CAMERA SEES Every pin shows the camera's direction and range as a cone on the map. Tap a camera for its card: mount, picture quality by day and night, retention, and how to request footage. ADD AND CONFIRM Found a camera? Drop a pin on it, drag to aim it, and fill in what you know. When another investigator confirms it in person, it's marked verified. ON YOUR WRIST With Apple Watch, the cameras around you are a glance away: a map, the nearest ones with how long each keeps footage, and walking directions to any of them. BUILT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT • Verified agency personnel only • One phone per account, unlocked with Face ID • No case details, footage or incident data, ever • Every view is logged, and the map carries your account as a watermark, so a leak traces back to an account CanvLess requires a verified CanvLess account.
