Lost your earbuds, watch, fitness tracker, tag or laptop somewhere nearby? If it is switched on, it is still calling out over Bluetooth. Foundy listens, lists every device around you and walks you to the one you are looking for. HOW IT WORKS • Open Foundy and every Bluetooth device in range appears within seconds, sorted by how close it is. • Pick your device. The Finder ring warms up, your phone pulses faster and the distance estimate shrinks as you get closer. When it says colder, turn around. • Tap Found it and Foundy remembers the spot where the signal was strongest. WHAT FOUNDY PRO INCLUDES • Live Finder with distance estimate, warmer/colder guidance, haptic and sound guidance and a signal history • Play a sound on devices that support Find Me alerts, or a loud tone through connected headphones and speakers • AI device identification: Foundy AI works out the likely brand and model from the signal details and tells you where such devices usually hide • Search coach: concrete next steps based on how the signal behaved during your search • Last-seen memory with the spot where the signal was strongest and a hand-off to Maps • My devices with in-range alerts while Foundy is open • Category filters, search and sorting for earbuds, headphones, speakers, watches, fitness bands, trackers, phones, laptops, tablets, keyboards, controllers, health and smart-home devices • Light and dark appearance, iPhone and iPad layouts, metres or feet GOOD TO KNOW Foundy hears devices that are powered on and within Bluetooth range, usually 10 to 30 metres indoors. Earbuds inside a closed case and devices with an empty battery stay silent. Distance is an estimate from signal strength, so walls and your body affect it. Foundy never uploads your location or your device list; AI features only send the technical signal details of the device you choose. Foundy Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (weekly or yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Your journals are full of words you can't search. InkReader turns them into text. Point your camera at a page. InkReader finds the edges, straightens the shot, and reads the handwriting — including the messy cursive that other scanners give up on. What you get back is clean, editable text, saved alongside the original page. TRY IT FREE Your first 10 pages are free. No account, no credit card, no sign-up form. Scan a page and see the transcription for yourself before you decide anything. BUILT FOR REAL HANDWRITING Most scanning apps were built for printed documents and fall apart on a handwritten page. InkReader uses AI transcription tuned for handwriting, so faded ink, slanted lines, and cursive still come through. SCAN A WHOLE JOURNAL, NOT ONE PAGE Capture page after page in one sitting — an entire journal without stopping. Open the book flat and photograph the whole spread; InkReader reads both pages. Then read it back as one continuous journal, organized by the date of each entry, not by how you scanned it. FIND ANY MEMORY IN SECONDS Search inside a journal and jump between matches, or scrub through years by month with a flick. Find the trip, the name, the argument, the recipe — without turning a single page. YOUR WORDS, YOUR DEVICE Journals are stored on your phone. There's no account and no copy on our servers. A page is sent securely to be transcribed and then discarded — never stored, never used to train AI. KEEP A COPY ANYWHERE Export any journal — or just the entries you choose — as a PDF or text file, straight to Files, iCloud Drive, email, or anywhere the share sheet reaches. INKREADER PREMIUM Unlimited transcription for $4.99/month or $29.99/year. Everything else stays exactly as it is. Subscriptions are billed through your App Store account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in Settings.
