Trace is your personal phone security guardian. Modern phones face constant threats — sketchy Wi-Fi networks, unknown Bluetooth trackers, and the looming question of who or what is nearby. Trace gives you instant visibility and clear actions, so you can move through the world feeling confident about your privacy. WHAT TRACE DOES - Bluetooth Tracker Detection Detect AirTags, Tile, Chipolo, and Samsung SmartTags around you — identified by brand. Trace's persistence engine watches devices over time and flags ones that keep reappearing as you move, even when they rotate identifiers to evade tracking. Alerts include how many times a device has been seen and whether it's following you across locations. - Wi-Fi Network Analysis + Speed Test Identify spoofed networks, evil-twin attacks, and unencrypted public Wi-Fi before you connect. Free built-in speed test measures download, upload, latency, jitter, and packet loss. Get clear "Safe / Caution / Dangerous" verdicts based on real threat intelligence. - Live Threat Feed Stay informed with curated alerts from CISA, Apple Security, Android Security, FTC scam warnings, data breach alerts from Have I Been Pwned, privacy news from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and stalkerware research from the Coalition Against Stalkerware. Updated automatically. - Personalized Recommendations Get clear, step-by-step instructions to harden your phone's security settings. From two-factor authentication to lockdown mode, Trace tells you exactly what to do. - Background Tracker Scanning Trace keeps watching for trackers even when the app is closed. Get a notification if something persistent is following you — with brand and pattern details, not just a generic warning. - Trend Tracking Watch your security score evolve over time. See how your habits, environments, and choices affect your privacy posture. WHY TRACE IS DIFFERENT Most security apps either oversell what they do or focus on enterprise customers. Trace focuses on what's actually possible on iOS and gives you clear visibility into the rest. Built by an indie developer who believes privacy is a basic right.

AllyClock turns your iPhone or iPad into the clock it deserves to be: a big, beautiful, fullscreen time display that looks great on a desk, a nightstand, or a shelf. Two faces, both live and adjustable: FULLSCREEN The time in large, thin digits with seconds ticking quietly beside them. Weekday, date, and time zone sit underneath on a clean baseline. Toggle seconds, weekday, zone, GMT offset, and the flag to make it yours. WORLD CARDS The cities you care about, each on its own card: flag, local time, date, and GMT offset. Add up to twelve cities, break them into rows, and scale the time and date independently. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR Controls fade away after a moment, leaving only the time. Tap anywhere to bring them back. Every change applies live: close a panel any way you like and your changes stick. MADE FOR LANDSCAPE AllyClock is built for iPhone and iPad in landscape, with a companion web version at allyclock.netlify.app.
