Wake up ready to go. Charge when electricity costs less. Make more of your solar. NeoCharge brings EV charging, solar, and your Smart Splitter into one app. It charges your car when power is cheapest, uses the solar you already make, and shows you what your EV and connected appliances actually cost to run. Start with the EV, home charger, or solar inverter you already own. No NeoCharge hardware needed. CHARGE CHEAPER WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT • Add your electricity rate once, including custom time-of-use plans. NeoCharge plans charging around your cheaper hours from then on. • Set a ready-by time and NeoCharge works backward from it, so your car is charged for the morning at the lowest cost it can find. • Prefer cleaner power? Choose an emissions priority instead of a cost priority. • Plans change. Start or stop charging from your phone whenever you need to. • Two cars, a charger, and a busy household? Manage all of it from one screen. PUT YOUR SOLAR TO WORK • See how much your system produces, today and over time. • Charge during your solar hours, then top up on cheap overnight power. Less of your solar goes back to the grid at a low credit. • NeoCharge suggests a solar window from your production history. Adjust it whenever you like. • See what your solar is saving you and how your utility credits what you export. ONE OUTLET, TWO DEVICES With a NeoCharge Smart Splitter: • Charge your EV from the same 240 V outlet as your dryer. Power switches automatically, so the dryer still runs when you need it and the car charges when it doesn't. • Skip the second circuit and, in many homes, the panel upgrade. • See what each device uses and costs, with session history for both. • Schedule the second outlet around your routine and your rates. • Everything the Smart Splitter does in the app is included. No subscription needed. KNOW WHAT EVERY CHARGE COSTS • See the cost of each charging session and your monthly total, in charts you can read at a glance. • Watch your estimated savings add up as your charging moves off-peak. • Export your data whenever you want it. • Check your EV and Smart Splitter from your iPhone Home Screen with widgets. WHAT NEOCHARGE WORKS WITH Vehicles: selected models from Tesla, Ford, Honda, Acura, Volkswagen, Audi, and other brands. Chargers: selected Autel and Wallbox models. Solar: Enphase, SolarEdge, and Tesla. Compatibility and features vary by model, region, provider, and plan. Some connections offer monitoring without scheduling or remote control. See the app for the current list. NEED A HAND? Shake your phone in the app to reach a real person, or email appsupport@getneocharge.com. Some connected-device and advanced features require EV Pro or eligible included access. See the app for details and subscription options. Solar schedules use the charging windows you choose. Sunlight and household demand affect how much solar reaches your EV. Costs and savings are estimates based on your electricity rates, available device data, driving habits, and configuration.

TraceHush helps reduce common advertising and tracking requests while you browse in Safari. Blocking is handled by Safari using rules packaged with the extension. TraceHush does not run a remote filtering service, create an account, or receive a history of the pages you visit. PROTECTION YOU CONTROL • TraceHush uses one compatibility-focused protection configuration. After a subscribed customer enables the Safari extension, it blocks listed hosts when they appear as third-party page resources to reduce the chance of website breakage. • Use the master switch to turn all TraceHush filtering on or off. • Pause protection for the current website from TraceHush's Safari toolbar panel, or manage allowed websites in the containing app's Allowed tab. • Filter sources are reviewed at least every 14 days. Approved changes are compiled, tested, and delivered through signed app updates rather than downloaded silently by the extension. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account or sign-in • No analytics, telemetry, advertising SDK, or behavioral profile • No remote filter downloads • No browsing-history database • Your filtering preference and allowed website hostnames stay on your device in an App Group shared only by the TraceHush app and Safari extension SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS • Monthly: $1.99 per month, with a 7-day introductory trial for eligible first-time monthly subscribers. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it automatically converts to the monthly subscription at Apple's displayed price. • Annual: $7.99 per year, with no introductory trial • Purchase, restore, and subscription-management controls are available in the containing app and use Apple's StoreKit No TraceHush account is required. Payment and subscription administration are handled by Apple. Both plans renew automatically until canceled through Apple. Introductory-offer eligibility and localized prices are determined by the App Store. TraceHush works in Safari only. It does not filter traffic in other apps, does not provide device-wide network filtering, and cannot remove every advertisement or tracker. Website designs and advertising systems change, and some pages may need a website exception. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
