ChatMCP bridges the gap between large language models (LLMs) and native iOS functionalities by implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This protocol standardizes the way AI models interact with external tools and data sources, enabling seamless integration and enhanced capabilities. Key Features: • Local Tool Integration: Provides hardcoded tools that mirror iOS frameworks like EventKit and PhotoKit, allowing LLMs to access calendar events, photos, and more. • Remote Tool Connectivity: Connect to external MCP servers to extend functionality beyond local resources. • Secure and Standardized: Utilizes MCP’s open standard to ensure secure and consistent interactions between AI models and system services. • Customizable Extensions: Developers can add or modify tools to tailor the app’s capabilities to specific needs. By leveraging MCP, ChatMCP transforms your iPhone into a powerful interface for AI models, enabling them to perform tasks that require direct interaction with system-level services.

MakerTune is a focused companion for tuning your 3D printer. Tap a tool, type two numbers, get the answer — at the printer, offline, in seconds. No tutorials, no sign-up. WHAT'S INSIDE • E-steps / steps-per-mm — corrects extruder accuracy • Extrusion multiplier (flow) — fixes walls that come out too thick or thin • Volumetric flow & max safe print speed — find your hotend's real limit • Resize for shrinkage — accurate dimensions from a calibration print • Filament: weight ⇆ length ⇆ cost, plus grams left on a spool SAVE YOUR PRINTERS AND FILAMENT Add each printer and spool once; every calculator picks the right values automatically. The more you use it, the less you re-type. FIRMWARE-AWARE Pick your printer's firmware and MakerTune shows the right way to apply each value. Marlin and RepRapFirmware get the M92 / M500 sequence; Klipper users get the rotation_distance instruction; closed firmwares (e.g. Bambu) are flagged where E-steps aren't user-adjustable. WHY MAKERTUNE • 100% on-device. No account, no sign-in, no internet required. • Every formula is based on standard, citable sources (Marlin docs, Ellis' Print Tuning Guide, Teaching Tech). • Built for the bench: clear keypad, copyable results, a Done button on every keyboard. NEW TO 3D PRINTING? The built-in Help & Learn page explains every term in plain language and links to the canonical free guides for the full walkthrough. PRIVACY MakerTune does not collect any data. Everything stays on your device.
