With Transloader, you can initiate downloads on any and all of your Macs - remotely from your iPhone, iPad, or other Macs. Say you're browsing on your iPhone and come across a Mac app demo you'd like to give a try. Now, you could fumble for an app to save that link in for later, and hope to remember to download it afterwards. Or you can use Transloader, and assign that link for download to a Mac right away - no need for fumbling, or remembering. Even better, when you return to your Mac, the file will be ready for you. Main Features: - Initiate downloads on a remote Mac Wether you're on another Mac, an iPhone or an iPad, you can enter the link into the app on your device and assign it to a specific Mac for download. Or use the app's Share extension to start downloads right from within your browser. - Login to Download If a file requires a login on the website before it can be downloaded, Transloader lets you do that now. You can log in to websites at any time, from any device. - Link- and File Actions on Mac Link Actions tell Transloader on Mac which app or Automator workflow should open specific links (based on criteria like host or URL scheme), instead of downloading them in Transloader. For example, you can open ftp links with the ftp app of choice. A File Action lets Transloader on Mac open a file after its downloaded with an app or Automator workflow, based on criteria like file type/extension, or the link's host. For example, unzip zip files right away after they're downloaded, or organize downloaded images in folders. - Save links for later If your desired Mac is not yet registered with Transloader, or you'd just like to wait before you initiate the download of a link on a Mac, you can save it, and assign the link to a Mac for download later. Requirements: - The Mac app, available for purchase on the Mac App Store - A (free) iCloud account Here's what customers say about Transloader: "Extremely useful." - dcdixon, US App Store "As easy as it should be with Apple products!" - piotrekbielaska, Polish App Store "I'd never be able to live without it." - Navrik1323, UK App Store Here's what the press says about Transloader: "It works great and you should already be clicking the Purchase button." - Mikhail Madnani, beautifulpixels.com "Transloader is very helpful and saves me a lot of time." - macreview.com "Transloader is a simple, easy-to-use app and I've found it to be so useful." - Dan Frakes, macworld.com For further information, please visit Transloader's website.

Time Release Safes turns your phone into a body camera the moment can't erase. As you record, video streams off your phone in real time — end-to-end encrypted, with keys only you hold — so what it captures is already safe even if the phone isn't. We don't have access, and neither does anyone else; only YOU decide who does. TWO-BUTTON SAFETY When something's off, one tap does the right thing. Check-in captures a short clip and quietly alerts the people you chose. Full Panic does the same, faster, and cloaks the screen behind a clock so no one watching your phone knows the app is even running. Every capture is encrypted on your device before it leaves. STEALTH MODE Disguise the entire app behind a clock cover. A gesture only you know unlocks it. Perfect for anyone who can't have a safety app visible on their home screen. ENCRYPTED PERSONAL VAULT Store journals, sensitive documents, health information, backup codes, evidence — anything you'd want protected. It's a personal encrypted vault by default, with the OPTION to release contents on your terms. DELIVERY ON YOUR TERMS Pick when and who. A trusted friend can trigger a release. A calendar date can trigger a release. A group of trusted people voting together can trigger a release (Quorum). A missed check-in over days or weeks can trigger a release. Every path requires either your action or theirs — never ours. RECOVERY YOU CONTROL Lose your phone? Get back in with a 24-word recovery key you saved at signup, OR with help from Recoverees you chose in advance (they hold encrypted pieces of your key, and enough of them together can restore access). We never hold your key. QUICK ACTIVATION Fire Check-in or Full Panic from the Home Screen widget, from Control Center, or with a "Hey Siri" phrase — without ever unlocking your phone. WHAT MAKES TRS DIFFERENT - Zero-knowledge: encryption keys never leave your devices unencrypted - End-to-end encrypted from your device to the recipient's - XChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption (tamper-evident) - Every capture, note, and file is encrypted before it touches the internet - No ads. No selling data. No backdoors — external security audit forthcoming TIERS THAT SCALE - Free: 600 MB storage, unlimited Safes through launch, Stealth Mode included - Plus ($9.99/mo, Founding Member $4.99): 25 GB, longer recording windows, camouflage themes - Pro ($19.99/mo): 100 GB, extended recording, positioned for journalists and field documentation - Family ($19.99/mo or $199.99/yr): 100 GB shared across up to 5 people — safer together IMPORTANT Time Release Safes is not an emergency response service.
