iAliveWell is an intelligent safety companion designed for individuals living alone, elderly care, and outdoor enthusiasts. We provide an invisible safety net to ensure that you are always connected and protected when it matters most. [Core Features] Smart Auto Check-in: iAlive integrates seamlessly with HealthKit. By monitoring activity metrics like steps and heart rate, the app identifies your safety status and completes "Daily Check-ins" automatically while you are active. Inactivity Alerts: If no activity is detected within your predefined window (e.g., no step count updates or app usage), iAlive triggers a safety alert to check on you. Emergency Notifications: In the event of a missed check-in and subsequent non-response, iAlive will notify your designated emergency contacts, ensuring help is called when needed. Minimalist Experience: Designed for simplicity. Once configured, the app runs quietly in the background, providing peace of mind without constant manual input. Privacy First: Your health data stays on your device and within your personal iCloud. We do not track your specific location or upload sensitive health details. We only send out alerts when a safety risk is detected. Feature Highlight: Remote Guardian Zero-Effort Linking: Powered by Apple's CloudKit. No account creation required—just use a simple 6-digit share code. Real-time Sync: Get instant push notifications whenever your loved ones check in. Safety Alerts: Guardians receive automatic warnings if a user misses their check-in for several consecutive days. Privacy First: Works even with different Apple IDs. Data is securely handled by Apple's infrastructure with end-to-end privacy. Added CloudKit Remote Guardian system. Added Guardian Management tab and share code system. Optimized check-in flow with automatic cloud sync. [Who is it for?] Living Alone: Provides peace of mind for you and your family.

`CodingNS` 是一个面向开发者的 AI 编程工作台,用来把你已经在电脑上运行的 AI 编程会话继续带到手机上。 它不是一个只会聊天的壳,也不是把终端粗暴塞进手机页面的半成品。`CodingNS` 解决的是一个更实际的问题:当你离开桌面电脑之后,正在运行的 `Claude Code`、`Codex` 等 AI 编程会话不该被迫中断,你也不该从零重新建立上下文。 通过连接你自己的 `CodingNS Host`,你可以在 iPhone 上继续查看和处理同一条开发会话,读取实时消息,查看工作区文件和 Git 状态,处理权限申请,进入终端,必要时继续推动任务往前走。 核心能力包括: - 续接已经存在的 AI 编程会话,而不是重新开一个空白聊天 - 同步 `Claude Code`、`Codex` 等 CLI 会话消息和运行状态 - 在移动端查看工作区、文件、Git 变更和终端输出 - 在会话内处理命令执行、文件修改和用户输入等权限请求 - 在多设备之间保持统一的工作流,而不是各干各的 - 面向真实开发场景设计,优先保证效率、信息密度和可继续性 `CodingNS` 适合这些人: - 已经把 AI CLI 工具放进日常开发流程的开发者 - 经常需要在桌面和移动设备之间切换的个人开发者 - 需要远程确认任务进度、查看输出、处理权限请求的人 需要说明的是: - `CodingNS` 需要连接你自己的 `CodingNS Host` - 某些能力依赖你的 Host 环境里已经安装并配置好相应的 AI CLI 工具
