TreeRings helps you explore the hidden history of trees. By analyzing a photo of a tree’s cross-section, the app estimates the tree’s age by counting its growth rings. Beyond age, TreeRings also gives an indication of how favorable each year was. Wider rings may reflect years with good growing conditions — for example, a rainy summer — while narrower rings can hint at harsher times. These are always approximations, but they can provide fascinating insights when you’re on a hike, studying forestry, or working as a forest ranger. By comparing results from multiple trees in a region, TreeRings can even suggest patterns about the local climate over time. Simple to use: just point to the center of the cross-section and let TreeRings do the rest

Set Card Detector answers the question, "is there even a Set out here?" without giving the game away. Point your camera at the cards. A quiet indicator says "Set" or "No Set" (optionally how many). Stuck players can reveal exactly one Set at a time; nothing is spoiled until you ask. HOW IT WORKS • Live detection of all 81 cards, right in the camera view • Set / No Set indicator, with optional Set count • Spoiler ladder: reveal one Set at a time, tap again for the next • Card outlines and identity labels as mini icons or text codes, toggleable • Detection smoothing for a steady, flicker-free read PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your iPhone. No account, no network, no data collected. Works offline at the kitchen table, the cabin, or on a plane. GREAT FOR • Settling "there's nothing there, deal three more" arguments • Learning the game: see every card's identity while you scan • Practicing: find it yourself, then check before you call it Set Card Detector is an independent fan-made tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by PlayMonster or Set Enterprises. "SET" is a trademark of its respective owner.
