Turn your iPhone into part of a decentralized cloud, and receive ACU rewards for it. Acurast lets your phone run small compute jobs for developers. In return, you receive ACU rewards for the work your phone completes. No technical setup needed: if you have a spare iPhone or one sitting on a charger, you can take part. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Acurast and create your account. 2. Pair your phone as a Processor. It takes about a minute. 3. Start Acurast. Your phone picks up compute jobs and collects rewards as it works. BEST SETUP A spare iPhone on a charger and Wi-Fi is ideal. Start Acurast, let the screen dim, and your phone contributes compute to the network. YOUR PHONE STAYS YOURS - Jobs run in a sandbox, separate from your photos, messages and other apps. - Acurast doesn't collect data linked to your identity. WHAT IS DEPIN? DePIN stands for decentralized physical infrastructure network: real devices owned by everyday people instead of one company's data center. Acurast is a DePIN for compute. Developers use Acurast to run apps and AI models on thousands of phones, without depending on a single cloud provider. Rewards depend on the jobs your phone completes and are not guaranteed. Join the Acurast Cloud Rebellion and make your phone part of the unstoppable cloud.
SSL Quick Check

SSL Quick Check keeps an eye on your websites' SSL/TLS certificates so you're never caught out by an expired certificate again. Add the domains you care about and the app checks each certificate right on your device — no account, no server, no data collection. WHAT YOU GET • Expiry at a glance — see how many days are left, sorted so the soonest-to-expire are on top. • Early reminders — get a notification a month, a week and a day before a certificate expires. Expired or broken certificates always alert you. • Full certificate details — issuer, validity dates, SAN, TLS protocol, cipher suite, signature algorithm, key, serial number, chain length and hostname match. • Problem detection — instantly spot expired, untrusted or hostname-mismatched certificates. • Tags & grouping — organise sites with tags and group the list by tag, with a colour-coded status for each group. • Search — filter by name or domain. • Free and unlimited — track as many sites as you want. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. The app only connects to the domains you add, purely to read their public certificate. It collects no personal data, shows no ads, and contains no trackers. Perfect for developers, sysadmins, agencies and anyone who runs websites and wants a simple, reliable way to stay ahead of certificate expiry.
