NEW: AI Warranty Scanner — tap the camera icon, point at any warranty card, and Gemini AI reads it for you. Model number, expiry date, and provider filled in seconds. No typing, no mistakes, no expired warranties slipping through the cracks. Your home has a hundred things that need maintenance. FixLog remembers all of them — so you don't have to. FixLog is the home maintenance tracker that logs every repair, schedules every service task, tracks warranties, and reminds you before things break. Whether you own a house, condo, or rental property, FixLog keeps your home's complete maintenance history in one place. --- WHY FIXLOG --- The difference between proactive maintenance and reactive repair is thousands of dollars. A $200 HVAC tune-up prevents a $5,000 compressor replacement. A $50 gutter cleaning prevents $10,000 in water damage. FixLog helps you stay proactive. Set it up once. Get reminded when maintenance is due. Log what you've done. Never let a warranty expire without knowing it. --- KEY FEATURES --- COMPLETE HOME MAINTENANCE LOG Log every repair, service call, and DIY project. Record what was done, when, by whom, and how much it cost. Add photos of receipts, before/after shots, or serial numbers. Your home's complete maintenance history — searchable and organized. SMART MAINTENANCE REMINDERS Set recurring reminders for HVAC filters, gutter cleaning, water heater flushes, smoke detectors, roof inspections, dryer vents, and dozens more. FixLog reminds you before things break — not after. WARRANTY TRACKING Log warranties for every appliance, system, and repair. Record warranty start dates, end dates, coverage details, and claim contact info. Get alerted before warranties expire so you can schedule covered repairs in time. ORGANIZE BY ROOM & SYSTEM Categorize entries by room (kitchen, bathroom, garage, exterior) or by system (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, appliances). Find any maintenance record instantly. DOCUMENT VAULT Store receipts, warranty cards, manuals, and invoices right inside FixLog. Snap a photo, pick from your library, or import a PDF — everything is linked to the appliance or service record it belongs to. Receipt OCR reads key details automatically. STARTER TASK TEMPLATES Add an appliance and FixLog suggests a maintenance schedule. HVAC filters, water heater flushes, dryer vent cleaning — pick the tasks that apply and they're set up with the right frequency instantly. COMPLETION TRACKING Every time you mark a task done, FixLog records it. See your full completion history for any task — proof that maintenance was performed, useful for warranty claims and home resale. COST TRACKING See how much you've spent on home maintenance — by category, by room, by year. Understand where your money goes. Budget for upcoming maintenance based on historical costs. --- PERFECT FOR --- - First-time homeowners learning the basics - Landlords managing multiple properties - Real estate investors tracking upkeep costs - Anyone selling a home (records increase buyer confidence) --- FEATURES AT A GLANCE --- - Log repairs, services, and DIY projects - Document vault for receipts, warranties, and manuals - Recurring maintenance reminders - Starter task templates per appliance category - Warranty tracking with expiration alerts - Task completion history - Organize by room or system - Cost tracking - Multiple property support - iCloud sync — your data stays private --- SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION --- FixLog Pro is available as an optional subscription: - Monthly: $3.99/month - Yearly: $29.99/year (save 37%) - Lifetime: $49.99 (one-time purchase) Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.

Dark Message — encrypt messages and files without the internet Write the way you always do: in any messenger, in mail, in social networks. Dark Message turns text, photos and documents into an encrypted message that only the holder of the same key can read. Anyone who intercepts it sees a string of characters. WHY DARK MESSAGE • Fully offline. The app has no internet access at all: no servers, no accounts, no sign-up, no analytics. Keys and messages never leave your phone. • Strong encryption: AES-256-GCM, with the key derived from your passphrase by PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 (600,000 iterations). • Works over any channel: copy the encrypted text and paste it anywhere. .darkm files travel as ordinary attachments. • Encrypts more than text: photos and documents (PDF, Word, Excel, any file), keeping the file name. A KEY IN SECONDS • Show a QR code and read out a six-digit PIN. The key inside the code is encrypted with that PIN, so a photo of the screen is useless to anyone else. • A key fingerprint next to every chat: the same on two phones means the same key. EASY TO USE • A separate key for every contact or group. • One-tap decryption: paste the text or open the file. • Dark and light themes, English and Russian. • Passphrases live in the system keychain. WHO IT IS FOR Private conversations, business documents, contracts, medical and financial records, family passwords — anything nobody but the recipient should read. Open source: you can check for yourself how it works. Updates keep all your chats and keys.
