But the NFC Toolbox app will not only assist you during the initial setup, it will also help in maintenance cases when it comes to restoring a device to its original state or even completely replacing it. If a device needs to be replaced, its last parameter set can be easily copied to a new device. Initial Parametrization: Simply open the NFC Toolbox app, hold your phone up to the device to be parameterized, and press read. In the following menu, select "Module settings," adjust the parameters, and transfer them to the device by pressing write. If necessary - restart the device – setup complete. Factory Reset: Open the NFC Toolbox, hold your phone up to the device, press read, select Factory Reset, wait & confirm. Device Cloning: Read the defective device with the NFC Toolbox, hold your phone up to the new device, press write to transfer the read data set, and, if necessary, restart the device – done.

Write Markdown, inspect the document as a system, and publish a finished file without sending the text to a server. FrankenMarkdown keeps the source and rendered document together. The editor provides live syntax highlighting, line numbers, an outline, and an automatically updated preview. On iPad and Mac, source and output can remain visible side by side; iPhone uses focused lanes sized for the smaller display. Document Lab adds the tools needed for longer work: word and reading statistics, structure and accessibility checks, semantic comparison between revisions, polished document templates, and publishing controls. Multi-chapter projects can produce a continuous PDF or a self-contained site package. Export the current document as PDF or self-contained HTML. The bundled Rust rendering engine handles typography, tables, code, mathematical notation, and document structure locally. No account, advertising, tracking, or cloud processing is required. Your text stays on the device unless you choose to share an exported file.
