You know that feeling when you've got a stack of documents that need scanning, organizing, and editing, but the process is just... tedious? You're stuck jumping between three different apps, dealing with poor quality scans, and somehow your PDFs end up in a total mess anyway. Yeah, we get it. That's exactly why we built this. Meet your new go-to app for everything PDF. Whether you're capturing receipts and invoices, scanning contracts, digitizing handwritten notes, or just trying to organize your life, we've packed all the tools you actually need into one clean, intuitive app. No bloat. No confusion. Just solid functionality that actually works the way you'd want it to. - Here's what makes this app different: • Professional-Quality Scanning — Forget struggling with basic camera apps or hunting for a physical scanner. Just open our app, point your iPhone at any document, and snap. We handle the heavy lifting—automatic edge detection, perspective correction, and image optimization all happen instantly. Your scans look like they came from a professional scanner, seriously. • Powerful Editing Tools — Once you've got your PDF, you can actually do something with it. Need to add a quick sketch or annotation? Done. Want to type notes directly onto the page? Easy. Need to highlight important passages to make them stand out? Just a tap away. Every edit is smooth and responsive, and everything stays exactly where you put it. • Rearrange Pages in Seconds — Got a PDF with pages all jumbled up? Stop exporting and importing between apps. Just open the page manager, see all your pages as thumbnails, and drag them around to reorganize. Takes literally seconds and keeps everything in one place. You can also delete pages you don't need while you're at it. • Merge Multiple PDFs Effortlessly — Combining documents shouldn't require a PhD in file management. Whether you're consolidating scans into one master file, merging receipts, or pulling together multi-document applications, just select the files you want and merge them into a single, clean PDF. No fussing around with complicated steps. • AI-Powered Summaries — Sometimes you're staring at a massive document and just need the key points. That's where our smart summarization comes in. Let the app analyze your PDF text and give you an intelligent summary of the important stuff. Perfect for quickly understanding contracts, reports, articles, or any text-heavy document without reading through every single word. - Designed for Real Life This app was built because we were tired of the same frustrations you probably are. We wanted something that handles all the annoying document tasks in one place, without making you feel like you're wrestling with the software. That's why everything is streamlined and intuitive—whether you're tech-savvy or just want things to work without overthinking it. The interface is clean and straightforward. Your workflow stays fast. And most importantly, your documents actually look good and stay organized the way you want them. - Perfect for Whether you're a busy professional managing contracts and reports, a student organizing research and notes, someone handling personal paperwork and receipts, or just someone who wants to go digital and stop drowning in physical documents—this app adapts to how you actually work. - Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula.

Time you can't see is time you can't feel. Sundae turns it into something you can watch — an ice cream that melts, a candle that burns down, a train that rides home. Start a session, set your phone down, and just glance. MADE FOR TIME BLINDNESS • Every second is visible: the scene is consumed smoothly in real time, on screen and on your Lock Screen • Live Activity + Dynamic Island: the melting sundae stays with you even when the phone is face up on your desk • Start in three seconds: two taps, no setup, no account NO GUILT. EVER. • Step away anytime — your session just naps. Nothing withers, nothing breaks, nothing is lost • Streaks only celebrate. Miss a day and the app simply says nothing • Rest counts: Lounge Mode is an official do-nothing timer. A sun sets over the sea while you lie flat. Finishing a rest keeps your streak alive A FRIEND, NOT A COACH • Pebble the sea otter waits with you, naps with you, and floats in the dessert lake when you finish • Write one thing ("Reply to Sam's email") and the whole app becomes about just that — even on your Lock Screen • Finished time becomes a collection of little dioramas ONE THING A DAY • Tell Sundae what you're working toward, and roughly how you'd get there • Each day it puts a single step on your Lock Screen — tap it and you're focusing • Skip one and it rotates to the next.
