Yuki is your AI personal assistant for everyday life. Ask once, and Yuki plans your day, sorts your trips and keeps an eye on your money, for you and the people you share life with. It checks with you before it does anything. One app instead of five: a daily planner and to-do list, a family organizer, a trip planner, and an expense tracker that splits bills. A PERSONAL ASSISTANT THAT ASKS FIRST • "Add eggs, milk and bread to Saturday's groceries" • "Remind me to call Mum tomorrow at 3pm" • "How much did I spend on dining last month?" • "When is my next trip?" When Yuki wants to do something for you, it shows exactly what will happen, with Allow and Not now. Everything it did is listed in Activity, and most actions can be undone for 30 days. DAILY PLANNER AND TO-DO LIST • Tasks with due dates, priorities, subtasks and reminders • Calendar events, tasks, birthdays and deliveries in one ordered day • Google Calendar sync and one-tap join for Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls • Morning, midday and evening briefings • Recurring tasks and events, with "just this one" edits TRIP PLANNER AND TRAVEL ORGANIZER • Flights, hotels, trains and car rentals grouped into one trip • A day-by-day itinerary with destination weather and departure reminders • Share a view-only itinerary link; no account needed to open it • Keep tickets and travel documents with the trip Yuki organizes bookings you have already made. It does not buy tickets. EXPENSE TRACKER AND BUDGET • Track spending by category, compared with last month, with simple insights • Every subscription and recurring charge in one place, with likely duplicates flagged • A daily budget with a home-screen and lock-screen widget • Scan receipts; amounts in other currencies are converted to yours • Savings goals, investments, liabilities and net worth, with no bank login FAMILY ORGANIZER, SHARED GROUPS AND SPLIT BILLS • Groups for family, couples, co-parents, flatmates, friends and trips • Shared tasks and chores you can assign to anyone in the group • Split bills equally or by percentage, see who owes what and settle up • Shared grocery lists that update while everyone shops • Group polls and a shared trip timeline for group travel ALSO IN YUKI • Booking links: people pick one of your free times, no account needed • Polls anyone can vote on from a link • Multi-step timers for recipes, workouts and routines • Birthday and anniversary reminders • iPhone, Android and the web at yukihq.com, with one account YOUR INBOX, ORGANIZED (PRO) Connect Gmail and Yuki picks up flight and hotel confirmations, bills, receipts, subscriptions and deliveries, and turns them into trips, expenses and calendar events.

Barcoder

Barcoder turns your iPhone into a fast, careful barcode and QR code scanner for retail, stock and deliveries. Scan one code after another, lock onto just the codes you need, keep log, count, checklist and find lists, catch invalid EAN/UPC codes as you scan, and export everything to CSV or TXT. It all works on your iPhone alone — no account, no sign-in. Scan One Code After Another • Continuous scanning adds each code as it's seen — or tap to capture on crowded shelves • Several codes in view? Take the one nearest the centre or all, in reading order • A red aim line reads only the 1D barcode it crosses • Four frame sizes up to full screen; codes outside it are never read • Reads EAN-13/8, UPC-A/E, Code 128, 39 and 93, ITF-14, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, GS1 DataBar and more • Zoom, torch, tap to focus; pick codes from a photo or type them • A crisp scanner beep or softer sound, haptics and VoiceOver announcements Code Lock: Only the Codes You Want • Learn a lock from a scanned sample or the padlock on the last scan, or set its type, characters, length and start by hand • Then only matching codes are accepted; others on a busy label are ignored • Free; switch saved locks on the scanner Lists for Every Job • Log lists: one row per scan, with time and an optional note • Count lists: scanning a code again adds to its quantity • Checklists: paste the codes you expect or import a CSV or TXT file (Barcoder Pro), then scan: found, missing, over or not on the list • Find lists: paste or type the codes to find, each with a note like a model or size, or take them from another list, or from a file (Barcoder Pro). Other codes are ignored; the card shows the note, "Found 23 of 50" and the same-note count. Copy Missing copies the rest • Duplicate warnings, search, filters, sorting, edits and archiving Catch Mistakes as You Scan • Accept only EAN/UPC codes with a correct check digit, numbers only or your own pattern (Barcoder Pro), within a minimum and maximum length • Codes that fail are rejected with a reason and never reach your list Export and Share • Export any list as CSV or TXT with your choice of columns; CSV opens cleanly in spreadsheets • Share via AirDrop, Mail, Files and more, copy all codes, or export all as one CSV file Type into Your Computer — Optional Get the free Barcoder for Mac (macOS 14 or later) or the free Barcoder for Windows (Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11) at www.thearktech.com/barcoder and pair once with a QR code. Then every scan is typed into the app in use on your computer, such as a spreadsheet or order system, followed by Enter, Tab or nothing. • Count lists and checklists send each code with its quantity at the end • With your computer out of reach, scans wait on your iPhone and are typed once when you reconnect • Safety: no typing into password fields it detects, terminal apps blocked by default, a cancellable countdown before batches, a pause shortcut • Works with Chinese input methods (Barcoder pastes the text) Barcoder Pro (in-app purchase) Scanning, lists, checking and export on your iPhone are free and unlimited; typing up to 50 codes a day into one computer is free too. Barcoder Pro is available for 6 months, 1 year or lifetime, each a one-time purchase that never renews automatically. It adds: • Unlimited typing into your computer • More than one paired computer • Checklist and find list import from CSV or TXT files • Custom accept patterns Bought it already? Settings › Barcoder Pro › Restore Purchases. Private and Secure • No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking; your lists stay on your iPhone • Scans go straight to your computer over your local network, end-to-end encrypted — no servers in between, nothing sent to us • A new iPhone connects only after you type the 6-digit code it shows into your computer; turn it off or remove it at any time Barcoder requires iOS 17 or later.
