Feather helps you hold onto what matters β€” and let go of the rest. Life is full of things worth remembering: gift cards from loved ones, coupons you actually want to use, items tied to people you care about. But managing them shouldn't feel like a chore. Feather is a lightweight, beautifully simple app for tracking the items and memories that matter most to you β€” organized by the people in your life. --- WHAT FEATHER DOES --- β€’ Link items to contacts β€” Remember who gave you what, and never lose track of a gift card or coupon again. β€’ Tag everything your way β€” Use system tags like Favorites or Used, or create your own custom tags to organize items exactly how you think. β€’ Expiry tracking β€” Get a clear view of items that are expiring soon so nothing goes to waste. β€’ Stay clutter-free β€” Mark items as used, archive them, or let them fade away. Feather keeps your list clean without losing the memory behind each item. β€’ Fast and intuitive β€” Add items in seconds. No complicated setup, no bloated UI. Just open and capture. --- DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE --- Feather is built for the moments between moments β€” when you remember you have a coffee coupon, when a friend gives you a gift card, when you want to remember what someone gave you last year. It's not just a list. It's a lightweight layer of memory on top of the relationships and things you already care about. --- PRIVACY FIRST --- Your data stays on your device. Feather doesn't require an account and doesn't send your information anywhere. Light as a feather. Lasting as a memory.

TickLab is a watch life platform to record, manage, analyze, and share every moment with your watches. It started with accuracy measurement, but now covers measurement, collection, journaling, analytics, and community in one app. Accuracy Measurement and AI Diagnosis Measure the daily rate, beat error, and amplitude of a mechanical watch using only the iPhone microphone, with no extra hardware. Reliability grades and AI interpretation make results easy to understand, and automatic phone-clock calibration improves precision. A single measurement in the same position with a clean signal can land within about 2 seconds per day, and averaging several can narrow it to about 1 second per day. Use positional deviation analysis to gauge when a service is due. Collection Management Organize each watch with specs, photos, serial number, purchase price, and finances, and keep strap and service records. Overhaul timing and warranty expiry are tracked automatically. Warranty can be set up to 10 years, with reminders before and on the expiry date. Life Log Capture your moments with wear logs, a journal, memory highlights, event tags, and mood. Dream up your next watch with a wishlist. Analytics See your watch life at a glance with weekly, monthly, and yearly trends, a monthly wear heatmap, a year-end recap, and the global brand league. Community Like, comment, and follow in a photo feed, and collect badges. Kept safe with reporting, blocking, and content filters. Home Screen Widget and Live Activity View your latest measurement in a widget and log today's wear right from it. During a measurement, it appears in real time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Privacy Measurement data, serial numbers, and purchase prices are stored only on your device and are never sent off it. Community photos are uploaded only after location data is removed and only when you tap the post button yourself.
