Blue Dots. vs StageTools

You know that rush after you finally purge the junk drawer, clear out the garage, or deep-clean the closet? Everything's in its place and you feel like you've finally got your life together. Two weeks later the slow creep starts again. Same old chaos. That's exactly why most people stay stuck. They stop at the purge. Blue Dots is the missing piece that turns one-time decluttering into something that actually lasts. Here's how simple it is. Snap one photo of your freshly organized space. Tap to drop BLUE DOTS™ straight onto the shelves, drawers, boxes, or bins. Inside each dot you name the items, add quick photos, and set a status — "Available," "Broken," "Almost Empty," "Need to Buy More," "Borrowed," "To Sell," "To Donate," or "To Discard." Mark something "Need to Buy More" and it drops into a running shopping list — so your next store run writes itself, and you stop standing in the aisle wondering whether you're already out. Later you just type what you're looking for. The exact spot lights up bright yellow on your real photo. You walk over and grab it. No lists. No spreadsheets. No opening ten random boxes while getting frustrated. That's it. Purge once, map it once, and you're done. Need it all on paper? Export your whole inventory as a clean PDF — every room, every blue dot, every item and photo, right down to the receipts you saved — to keep for yourself or share when you move, downsize, or sell. Your whole home in one file. The clutter doesn't creep back because your brain finally has the visual map it always wanted. Decision fatigue? Handled. "Just-in-case" panic? Taken care of. It works anywhere — garages, workshops, kitchens, closets, kids' rooms, moving boxes, storage units, even your parents' basement full of who-knows-what. The stuff that makes the magic happen: real-photo blue-dot mapping, instant yellow-highlight search, the AI scanner that names items for you, status tracking so you know what's usable (and what to restock, sell, or donate), a built-in shopping list for anything you flag "Need to Buy More," one-tap PDF export of everything you own, and cloud sync so it's all right there on your phone, on every device you own. You purge once. Map it. Find forever. Everything you own, and one app to find it all. Download Blue Dots and finally stop losing your own stuff in your own house. The BLUE DOTS™ remember.

StageTools is a lighting toolkit for iPhone and iPad, built for the work that happens before, during, and after the rig is in the air. Scout the job. Plot the rig. Troubleshoot the network. Check DMX. Keep fixture data, files, notes, and utility tools close without opening a laptop. TOOLBOX Network Devices scans your show network and helps you keep track of nodes, switches, consoles, and other devices. DMX Viewer listens to sACN and ArtNet so you can inspect live universe data and catch channel changes. Micro Console gives you a pocket-sized lighting console for fixture testing, quick looks, and controlled sACN or ArtNet output when you need it. Protocol Detector passively listens for common show-network traffic so you can see what is talking before you change anything. LTC Timecode can generate, receive, or jam timecode from your device. Curve Builder helps build fixture correction references from meter readings and export them for real show workflows. DIP Switch and CCT Converter cover the small calculations that still come up on set and in the shop. QUICK PLOTS Build fast lighting plots, network layouts, and power notes on one canvas. Add symbols, labels, cables, layers, backgrounds, custom symbols, and exports to PDF or PNG. SCOUT NOTES Create location scouts with photos, videos, marked-up images, note tabs, voice memos, transcripts, files, and PDF export. Make Scout Notes can turn a voice transcript into structured notes you can review and insert. FIXTURES Search, download, favorite, and reference fixtures from the GDTF Share Library. Downloaded fixtures can be used across StageTools workflows. FILES Save links, PDFs, manuals, plots, patch sheets, network diagrams, and local files. Organize by folder, category, and favorites, then share folder bundles when another StageTools user needs the same packet. BUILT FOR LIGHTING WORK StageTools is focused on lighting professionals: set lighting crews, theatrical electricians, lighting designers, programmers, gaffers, and touring techs. Many tools work offline. Live network tools require access to the show network. Core data stays on your device, with optional iCloud Sync for your own devices. StageTools is free to try. A subscription unlocks the full lighting workflow after the trial. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
