Read full description

Synca is a lightweight app built for capturing ideas, collecting to-dos, and keeping them in sync across your devices. Sometimes you think of something important on your phone, only to find that it does not show up where you need it later. On some managed work devices, iCloud sync may be unavailable, which makes built-in note and reminder apps less practical for cross-device use. Synca is designed for exactly that kind of workflow. You can quickly save text or images on iPhone and have them synced to your Mac, so your work notes, personal reminders, and everyday ideas stay available when you need them. Key features: · Fast text capture · Image sending and viewing · Real-time sync between iPhone and Mac · Clear completed items while keeping history · Simple sign-in with Sign in with Apple · Great for work ideas, quick to-dos, personal notes, and cross-context capture Why Synca: · Keeps your capture workflow available even when iCloud sync is not · Cleaner and more focused than sending messages to yourself · Lighter than a traditional notes app for quick capture · Helps you save ideas instantly before they disappear · Web access support: https://synca.haerth.cn/ Synca makes it easier to capture first, organize later. · Privacy Policy: https://synca.haerth.cn/en/privacy-policy · Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Plans and attachment storage: The free plan includes up to 20 new entries per day, image sync, 100 MB of attachment storage and 3-day attachment retention.

The hard part is not always doing a task. Sometimes it is remembering it at the right moment. PinLists gives everyday plans a place to stay visible, from errands and packing lists to the little things you plan with someone else. CAPTURE IT Add a task and choose its list, due date and reminder in the same flow. Turn speech into text in the app, or add a task through Shortcuts. Review recognized text before saving it. KEEP IT IN VIEW Pin pending tasks to a Lock Screen list and check off eligible items there. Add a Home Screen widget for another quick view. Lock Screen lists use iOS Live Activities; iOS controls their duration, number and arrangement. FIND THE DETAILS Search task titles, notes, completion notes and messages. Narrow results by list, status or tags. Leave a completion note to remember how something got done. WORK TOGETHER Share a selected list through iCloud. Members can discuss tasks with messages and replies, then mark the work complete. Personal tasks stay on your device. Joining someone else's shared list does not require Pro. Core task management is free. Pro unlocks creating shared lists, preselecting two separate Lock Screen lists, more themes and appearance options, and advanced reminders. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription or a lifetime purchase. The App Store purchase sheet shows your local price.
