Desktop-Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux are available for free on http://www.omnicopy.de. Story: I often work on two or more computers in parallel ... coding on one computer, researching on another computer, getting e-mails on my smartphone. Several times a day I come to the point where I just want to quickly copy some text from one device to another. Write an e-mail to myself? Done that. Often. But it is not convenient. Pressing "copy" on one computer and "paste" on the other? Much better! Application: 1.) Copy the text. 2.) Open OmniCopy. The clipboard is now copied to the Dropbox. 3.) On all your devices (e.g. PCs, cell phones, tablets) the text is now available through OmniCopy. General remarks: The OmniCopy iPhone (and iPad) App refreshes itself upon startup and via pull-to-refresh to go easy on your mobile data plan. The desktop-apps however refresh automatically. Right now this app only supports text (UTF-8). Security: OmniCopy uses the Dropbox API. All sent and received data is encrypted. The app only has access to the Dropbox folder "Apps/OmniCopy". If you delete this folder, all access tokens turn invalid.

About

KeyScan ScanApp

Features
Read full description

Die KeyScan ScanApp dient zum einen als Scanner für die Barcodes der KeyScan Schlüsselverwaltungssoftware, und ersetzt damit den üblicherweise benötigten Barcodescanner (USB-Gerät). Zum anderen können mit der App auch Unterschriften für die Protokolle digital erfasst werden. Voraussetzung ist die Nutzung von KeyScan ab Version 5.11. Die ausgedruckten Barcodes können mit der App gescannt werden. Diese zeigt alle wichtigen Schlüsselinformationen an und erlaubt die weitere Kommunikation mit der KeyScan Software. Des Weiteren kann in der App ein Benutzer ausgewählt oder gescannt, sowie dessen Unterschrift digital erfasst werden. Diese Daten werden zur Protokollerstellung an die KeyScan Software übermittelt. Das Scannen in der App kann über folgenden 2 Modi geschehen: 1. Scannen direkt in die KeyScan App In dem Modus verhält sich die App wie ein reiner Barcodescanner. Die Codes werden gescannt und direkt an KeyScan zur Ausgaben oder Rücknahme übergeben. 2. Scannen in die interne App-Liste Hier werden die Barcodes gescannt und in einer internen App-Liste gespeichert. Dadurch können Details der Schlüssel betrachtet werden. Die App-Liste kann zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt auch an KeyScan übermittelt werden. Zusätzlich können dazu noch Benutzer ausgewählt / gescannt werden, sowie die Unterschrift erfasst werden.
