TinyPick is a tool that helps users make rational decisions. Why did I think of developing the TinyPick App? Because in our daily lives, we often need to make various decisions, big and small. For example: where to travel on vacation, which school to send children to, whether to buy a house, whether to buy a car, whether to change jobs, whether to return to my hometown for development... and so on. However, I am a person who is more easily entangled. Whenever I make some decisions, I often think and struggle in my mind, and it is easy to ignore the key decision factors of a certain thing. So, when making decisions, I hope to write down the opinions for and against (pros and cons) of each thing one by one, so that I can have a more complete understanding of this matter. So, there is the TinyPick tool. TinyPick supports the creation of multiple things that need to be decided, supports the input of reasons for support and opposition for each thing, and supports the input of corresponding scores. In this way, we can clearly see the overall situation and score of each thing, and TinyPick will automatically give suggestions for you to make the final decision based on the score. In addition, TinyPick also supports writing a summary for each decision. You can record your feelings when making the decision, and you can also record whether the decision was made correctly later. Finally, TinyPick can actually be used as a general scoring tool, because TinyPick supports positive and negative scores. You can record scores for anything and automatically count the highest score and ranking for you. For example, basketball games, chess and card scoring, etc. Currently supported functions: - Multiple decision issue making - Support and opposition reasons - Reason score recording - Automatic analysis of decisions Future supported functions: - More types of decision-making tools - More dimensional data statistics - AI-assisted decision-making Contact the developer: linguny@gmail.com ———————— Privacy Policy: https://kennylin.notion.site/TinyPick-Privacy-Policy-13f80aa095c0803091a4d3d87abc1f48 User Terms: https://kennylin.notion.site/TinyPick-User-Terms-14280aa095c080acbb71dbdcb1a2efde USER LICENSE AGREEMENT: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Read full description

■ One-Tap SOS Strobe Emergency Signal Long-press to fire the international standard SOS pattern (3-short / 3-long / 3-short) with synchronised flash and haptics. Strobe adjustable from 1 Hz to 20 Hz. Auto-throttles on low battery and cools down if the torch overheats — never dies when you need it most. Mis-touch protection (1.0s–3.0s long-press confirmation) prevents pocket fires wasting juice. Dual sync: camera torch + full-screen colour flash doubles your visible distance at night. ■ Morse Code Encoding Engine Type any text (English, Chinese, digits, or symbols) — FlashSOS auto-encodes it into clean on/off light pulses. 5 playback speeds: 0.5× / 1× / 1.5× / 2× / 4×; base unit duration customisable from 50 ms to 1000 ms. Includes a full printable Morse reference table inside the app. Use it for backcountry distress, covert signals, concert fan light shows, or team codes. ■ Custom Rhythm Editor (Upgrade to Pro — Lifetime Unlock) Three creative ways to build your own flash pattern: ① BPM Beat Mode — slide from 30 BPM to 300 BPM, every beat fires with millisecond-accurate sync; ② Preset Rhythm Library — 10 built-in scene patterns: Heartbeat / Breathing Light / Lighthouse Beacon / Red-Blue Police Siren @ 1Hz / Concert Cheer @ 120 BPM / SOS International Distress / Strobe Alert @ 8 Hz / 4-4 Rave Kick @ 128 BPM / Flickering Candle / Railway Hand Signal; ③ Manual Tap Recorder — tap the rhythm you want on-screen, we capture the exact ON/OFF timeline locally on your device. ■ Why Choose FlashSOS • Runs 100% locally on-device. Your typed text, saved phrases, recorded rhythms and history stay inside your iPhone's encrypted sandbox. Nothing uploads to any server, ever — no internet connection required at all. • Zero privacy footprint. No sign-in, no location requests, no IDFA collection, no background tracking. Only asks for camera (torch LED) permission when you actively tap the flash button, and you can revoke it any time in iOS Settings. • 12 native languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic. • Transparent privacy policy: full stand-alone page (linked in-app and on App Store) explains exactly what we do and do NOT do with every iOS permission we request. ■ FlashSOS Pro (one-time unlock or monthly plan) Unlocks all three premium features: Morse Code, Custom Beats and Strobe Warning. The SOS emergency tab stays 100% free forever - life-saving functions are never paywalled. Restore Purchases and Family Sharing work on the same Apple ID.
