You must have experienced this before: When transferring files between WeChat, email, photo albums, and your computer, important documents get scattered everywhere. One file ends up having several different versions, and document management becomes a complete mess. That's why I designed 「FlowDoc」 for you. It's not a traditional file manager, but an inbox for your documents, specially designed to solve your file management problems. 【Document Management, No Longer Complicated】 Files, images, scanned documents, and notes all go into the inbox Directly share from third‑party apps like WeChat, Photo Album, QQ, etc., into FlowDoc No need to worry about how to organize files from the very beginning 【Lightweight Yet Powerful Organization】 Support for project‑based categorization, tagging, and bookmarking frequently used documents Swipe‑based quick sorting and archiving Flat layout for your document library – find everything at a glance 【Powerful Full‑Text Search】 Search inside images, spreadsheets, and documents – no longer limited to just the "title" 【Quick Sharing Features】 Multi‑select files and pack them into a ZIP for sharing with one tap Encrypt and share files over the network for temporary cross‑device viewing 【Multiple Data Backup Methods to Keep Your Documents Safe】 Trash bin support – recover accidentally deleted files Local export and full data restore Save version history iCloud cross‑device sync Cloud backups via Nutstore, SMB, OneDrive, and more # Who Is It For People who frequently work with contracts, invoices, reimbursement materials Office workers who need to collect PDFs, images, screenshots, and scans Anyone who wants to organize scattered information People who want to keep important personal documents safe # In‑App Purchase Description The following two PRO membership plans are available: 1.

About

Aura Timer

Read full description

Aura Timer is a minimalist focus companion that deeply blends timing with flowing light aesthetics. Swipe to switch between stopwatch, countdown, and Pomodoro modes; drag the elegant dial to set duration; assign three colors to any task — once you start, the gradients breathe with your focus, making time visible and tangible. 1.Three Modes, One Swipe A clean home screen with no menus. Simply swipe to land on Stopwatch, Countdown, or Pomodoro — choosing your timing style becomes a fluid instinct. 2.Drag to Set, Like Plucking Light In Countdown and Pomodoro, the dial turns into a precise slider. Drag to nudge the time in minute increments, release to lock it in. It’s satisfying, precise, and turns the moment before starting into a small ritual. 3.Triple-Color Light Library For Reading, Writing, Workout, Meditation, or any custom task — freely pick three colors. Shimmer Timer automatically generates a unique flowing gradient. Switch tasks and the entire light atmosphere changes. Build a color-coded trigger: one glance, and you’re in the zone. Gentle on the eyes even during long sessions. 4.Dynamic Island & Live Activities Once the timer starts, a progress ring and task icon appear in the Dynamic Island. On the Lock Screen, Live Activities show the remaining time clearly. No need to unlock — a single glance keeps you informed, letting the timer quietly fade into the background and protect your deep focus. 5.Shortcuts Automation Deeply integrated with Shortcuts. Set automations to start or stop timing when you open the app, arrive at a location, or at a specific time of day. Turn focus tracking into an effortless habit you don’t even need to think about. 6.Visualized Time Spectrum Review your focus by day, week, or month. The three-color gradients from your tasks appear directly in the charts. Total time, trends, and proportions are clear at a glance. Long-press any day to replay the light flow — it’s like a lifestyle map painted in light.
