Action Button Pro lets you supercharge the Action Button on your iPhone. Create conditions and assign actions to them. Some examples: - If I'm playing music, open Spotify - If I'm on the train, open the Podcasts app - If I'm at work, open Slack - If a meeting just started, start a new note - If it's after 10pm, turn on the flashlight - If the Warriors or the Bulls are playing, open ESPN Sequences. Group your triggers into sets like Work, Travel, or Gym and switch between them from the top of the screen. Give a sequence its own condition and it switches itself when you get there. Not sure where to start? Six templates get you running in a tap. And when you press the button, you can see exactly which conditions passed, which didn't, and why — plus a history of everything your button has done. So many unique combinations and we are listening to feedback for any other suggestions you may have! Send feedback to me@shabz.co Works on any iPhone with an Action Button — iPhone 15 Pro and later.

What were you doing years ago? See what you did today. And yesterday. And today last year, and every year before that. - Aeon Via uses public pre-existing Apple API’s all apps have access to, and displays them all in an organized and fun way for you. Instead of checking your Calendar for a day, then scrolling Photos for the same day, and then checking Music for the same day…you see what I am getting at? - Every day is a story — Aeon Via writes it down. By quietly drawing from the stuff already on your device, it pieces together where you were, what you listened to, how you moved, and what happened, without you lifting a finger. Your Day, Reconstructed: • Photos/Videos • Calendar • Apple Music and Spotify • Locations Fossil Mode: Scroll back through the same day across every year you have things for — side by side, all at once. It takes Zero Effort Its all passive (unless you want to note things) No journaling. No check-ins. No manual logging. Aeon Via works entirely from passive Apple platform signals already on your device. You can however, leave yourself notes on special days. You can also favorite days. Private by Design Everything stays on your device. Aeon Via never uploads, syncs, or shares your data. It only connects to the internet for when pulling photos from iCloud for you to view, and for Apple Music album art.
