Data Pocket is a versatile note-taking app that lets you easily customize text with adjustable font sizes, colors, and other formatting options using simple one-tap controls. It also supports creating photo journals by inserting images into your notes. Your notes can be: - Organized by attaching them to a calendar. - Sorted and stored in a hierarchical folder structure. The app also includes a shared calendar feature that allows multiple users to edit the same calendar collaboratively. In addition to text notes, you can manage photos, videos, music data, and web pages in the same folder hierarchy, each with its own comments. You can automatically play videos or music stored in a folder, with customizable playback order and repeat settings, and even transfer music files to your Apple Watch for standalone playback without your iPhone. The app also allows you to extract audio from videos, such as screen recordings, and compress and save it as music data. Data Pocket also provides powerful features such as full-text search across all notes, text editing utilities, and automatic text recognition (OCR) from images. Furthermore, text notes can be displayed with automatic scrolling or viewed directly on your Apple Watch. Additional features include RSS news feed integration and options to customize button layouts and the startup screen appearance, among many other useful tools. Starting from version 2.0, WebLink feature has been added, allowing users to view and create notes in this app from a web browser on a PC or other devices.

However, we are releasing it in the hope that it will be useful to many people, so we would be grateful if you could try it out casually at first. Enjoy utilizing this app and make the most of it.
Numa

Numa is a calculator for iPhone and iPad where every calculation stays on the canvas like a note. Change a number and every result updates instantly. A CANVAS, NOT A DISPLAY Calculations sit freely on a canvas that grows with you. Nothing disappears after the equals sign: tap a number, change it, and everything that depends on it is right again. LINKED VALUES Select a result and press an operator: a linked number appears below it in its own color. Or drag one number onto another. Changes flow through as many steps as you like. CALCULATE WITH NAMES Label a number, say βRentβ, and keep calculating with the name: Rent Γ 12. A canvas reads like a page of notes and works like a spreadsheet. SCENARIOS Give a number up to three values (A, B, C). Numa works through every scenario and shows the results side by side. SLIDERS AND GRAPHS β’ A slider on any number, smooth or in whole numbers β’ Graphs: a number becomes x, its result the curve. Several curves, live UNITS, DATES, CURRENCIES Units calculate along: 120 km Γ· 1.5 h = 80 km/h, 120 USD/h Γ 8 h = 960 USD. Dates and times too: today + 90 d, 17:30 β 08:15 = 9 h 15 min, workdays until a date. Plus 25 currencies with the European Central Bankβs reference rates. OVER 30 FUNCTIONS Percent the way youβd do it by hand (78 + 7% = 83.46), powers, roots, factorial, logarithms, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions in degrees or radians, random numbers, scientific notation. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division use exact decimals: 0.1 + 0.2 is 0.3. FOR iPhone AND iPad β’ Multiple canvases in Files and iCloud Drive; the last one opens at launch β’ Capture numbers from paper with the camera β’ Drag and drop, into other apps too β’ Hardware keyboard, left-handed mode, VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Dark Mode β’ Share as PDF, image or text, print NUMA PRO Numa is free: the canvas, linking, names, sliders and all functions. A one-time purchase, not a subscription, unlocks graphs, units, dates and currencies, scenarios and the camera. PRIVACY No account, no ads, no analytics. Numa calculates on your device and only downloads exchange rates when you convert currencies. Privacy: https://numa.bognar.net/en/privacy/
