FTP Files puts your server content in the Files app & Finder with minimum setup or hassle. Open and edit with any app at your convenience. The app supports FTP, SFTP and FTPS with implicit or explicit TLS encryption and your server configurations are synced between iPhone, iPad and Mac if you have iCloud Keychain enabled. Uploading files from the Mac services menu and share sheet is supported and very fast as target directories are remembered for different file types. The app is free to use with a single server. A Pro Unlock is required for multiple servers, available as a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription, with access shared across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A one-week free trial allows users to evaluate Pro features before purchase. Powerful automation is included, allowing you to work with the Shortcuts app for listing, downloading, and uploading files. It's designed to automate your routine tasks, increasing your productivity.

Stop losing money to admin you forgot. Life Admin HQ tracks every legal and financial obligation in your country — insurance renewals, tax filings, ID expiries, vehicle inspections — and tells you exactly what each missed deadline will cost. Most reminder apps tell you WHEN. We tell you WHAT IT COSTS. Loss aversion is far more motivating than yet another notification you'll dismiss. — HOW IT WORKS — In 60 seconds: 1. Tap your situation — car owner, homeowner, freelancer, family 2. The AI generates your obligation catalogue with money-at-risk on each 3. We stand guard with local reminders ahead of every deadline Add new things by typing, speaking, or photographing a document. The AI parses it and saves it for you, with reminders pre-set. — WHY IT'S DIFFERENT — • Money-at-risk on every item. €3,000 fine? You see €3,000. Not "important". • Country-authoritative. 30 jurisdictions deeply covered (EU-27 plus the UK, US federal layer, and Canada federal layer). Real statute citations — Irish users see SI 415/2017 for NCT, UK users see Road Traffic Act 1988, US users see IRC § 6654. Not generic guesses. • Renewals on rails. Mark something done — we schedule the next cycle automatically. NCT is biennial. Passport is every 10 years. The AI knows the cadence per item. • Local notifications. Reminders fire from your iPhone, not a server. They work offline. We never see which alerts you actually opened. — FREE TO START — Free tier: • Up to 5 obligations • 10 AI credits, one-time grant — for capturing things via text, voice, or photo • Free onboarding — your country catalogue doesn't cost a credit • Local reminders 7 days + 1 day before each deadline • Money-at-risk framing on every item • Auto-scheduled renewals Pro: • Unlimited obligations • 20 AI credits per month • "What you'll need" checklists per obligation, country-aware • Life Scan — a monthly proactive AI scan that surfaces obligations you forgot to capture • Custom reminder schedules, per category and per item Top-up: buys 20 extra credits, never expire - available on Free or Pro. — PRIVACY FIRST — Your obligations live on your device. They never leave it unless you opt into iCloud sync. The AI only sees text — when you scan a document, the recognized text goes to our parser but the original image stays on your iPhone. We don't sell or share data. The full Apple Privacy details list every data type we touch. — COUNTRIES WE COVER — Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States. Country not on the list? The AI still helps using general knowledge with a "verify" badge — and you can flag anything wrong with one tap. — SUBSCRIPTION TERMS — Pro renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. Cancel anytime in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Top-up credits never expire. The free tier has no time limit and no card required. Built for iOS 26.4+ and macOS 26.2+. For adults who'd rather not lose another €1,000 to a missed renewal.
