On average, you waste a full four hours of your valuable time every week on slow, annoying, and frustrating websites. That's 208 hours per year, or almost nine days annually. With a life expectancy of 90 years, that's a full two years of your life wasted on tedious, repetitive tasks on websites. That's all over now, because from now on your sockpuppet will take over for you. * * * No technical knowledge or programming skills required * * * # That's how Sockpuppet works Automate cumbersome tasks on websites in four easy steps. 1. Go to the website and start automating 2. Enable target capture and tap the element for the action 3. Define actions, enter details, save, and execute 4. Review, execute, and automate the process 5. Optional: Automate via the Shortcuts app and connect to Siri # This is what the Sockpuppet can do - Execute all automated processes without having to open the app - Process complex website content with AI prompts - Click, fill out forms, enter text, read text, and wait - Log in and retain session data with cookies - Wait states and execution delays for particularly slow websites - For advanced users: full view of all elements in the source code with code navigation # Application Examples of Sockpuppet - Determining available appointments with offices, authorities, and other organizations - Checking prices and availability at online shops, restaurants, delivery services, museums, and more - Extracting information from websites, such as waiting times at airports - Logging into user accounts, checking account balances, and reading new messages # Is Apple Intelligence absolutely necessary? Sockpuppets also work on devices without Apple Intelligence, but the AI features will then be unavailable. It is recommended to use a device with full Apple Intelligence support. # Privacy and Security Sockpuppet doesn't have its own servers, doesn't collect any of your data, and doesn't analyze anything. Its AI functions run locally on your device, without an internet connection, using Apple Intelligence. Sockpuppet only connects to websites you've explicitly visited. Entered passwords are encrypted with a unique master key in your Apple Keychain. No one can see what you do with your Sockpuppets, not even the developer of Sockpuppet. # Developer's Greeting My name is Jan Kammerath, and I'm the developer of the Sockpuppet. I've been developing software for over 25 years. Every day, I have to waste time on websites that I find cumbersome and difficult to navigate. This annoyed me so much that I invented the Sockpuppet. I use Sockpuppet myself every single day. It saves me time, gives me back my free time, helps me perform actions quickly, and find information easily. Besides Sockpuppet's ease of use, security and data protection are very important to me — real data protection, not just bureaucratic formalities. Sockpuppets should be useful everyday helpers that you can trust. I hope you enjoy the Sockpuppet as much as I do. Thank you for choosing Sockpuppet. # Terms of use The terms of use for this application are Apple's EULA (LICENSED APPLICATION END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT) which can be found under: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

You spend your life somewhere. Stoak shows you where. Stoak runs quietly in the background and turns all of it into a personal heat map of your time. No check-ins. No manual logging. No effort. Just go about your day and Stoak does the rest. What Stoak maps: Your time. Not your steps, not your route. Just where you are and how long you stay. The longer you're somewhere, the hotter it burns on your map. Explore your habits: Switch between Today, Yesterday, This Week, and This Month to see how your patterns shift over time. Your map tells a story about where you work, where you unwind, and where you always end up. Pin your places: Drop pins on locations that matter to you like home, work, or your favorite coffee shop, and see dedicated stats for each one. Built for your life: Stoak runs passively using iOS visit monitoring, designed to be as battery-friendly as possible. Check in whenever you want and your heat map is always up to date. Stays on your lock screen: A Live Activity keeps your current fueling session visible at a glance, right from your lock screen. Your data, your privacy: Everything stays on your device and syncs privately across your devices via iCloud. Stoak never sells or shares your location data.
