The Key Cards app is a digital wallet application designed to store and manage all your cards - from membership and rewards cards to important identification cards like your driver’s license and insurance cards. Simply take a photo of your card and assign a label to it, and then the app will securely store the image in an organized, easy-to-navigate interface. When needed, you can easily pull up the image of the card for showing or scanning. The Key Cards app keeps your card images separate from your personal photos and photo gallery. The cards are only stored on your device (not the cloud) and can only be accessed by you. If you're tired of carrying around a bulky wallet or fumbling through dozens of cards at the checkout counter, this app will make your life much easier. Everything you need is right on your phone. We hope that the Key Cards app will become one of your favorite everyday apps.

About

Dingly

Features
Read full description

Dingly reads the calendars you choose and rings a real alarm before each meeting, so you're never caught off guard. - Real alarms: Dingly uses the same system alarms as the Clock app, so they ring even when your iPhone is on silent or in a Focus, and even if Dingly isn't open. - Two alerts per meeting: 15 minutes and 1 minute before by default. Change either one. - Meetings that start at the same time share one alarm. - Snooze or stop right from the alarm. - Skip a single meeting with a swipe; it won't ring on any of your devices. - Join Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or Webex calls right from the list or the countdown. - A countdown to your next meeting in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, in your calendar's color. It appears with the first alarm, keeps counting down to the last one, and goes away when you stop it. Only ever one per meeting. - Choose from a set of pleasant alarm sounds. - Ignore meetings by keyword (like "lunch"), skip weekends, and pick which calendars to watch. - See your meetings for the days ahead, and keep up with your calendar automatically. A Shortcuts action can sync it any time. - Pause for a vacation, get a morning summary, ask Siri or use the widget to join or skip a meeting, and get a warning if a meeting's video link changes. - Add a short note to any meeting; it shows highlighted on its alarm and countdown. - Ring earlier for the meetings that need it: choose a first alert for one meeting, a whole series, or every meeting with a keyword like "kid pickup". - Works on iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad, in English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Requires iOS 26.
