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.

Keyfeel
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keyfeel turns your iPhone keyboard into a mechanical one. Every key press has its own sound and haptic, the board lights up the way you set it, and your clipboard history sits right inside the keyboard. PICK YOUR SWITCH Choose from 8 switches across three kinds: linear (smooth all the way down), tactile (a soft bump, quieter) and clicky (a sharp, loud click). Each one sounds and feels different. Turn the sound and the haptic up or down on their own dials. LIGHT IT UP Four glow effects: Static, Wave, Reactive and Breathe. Light the board from under the keys or through the legends, pick a color or go rainbow, and set the brightness. 12 BOARDS Keycap sets from soft Milk to dark Midnight. Three boards are free to keep. Pro opens all 12. CLIPBOARD HISTORY, IN THE KEYBOARD Tap Paste and Keyfeel keeps the clip. Open the clipboard panel to paste it again later, pin the ones you reuse, delete the rest. The free version keeps up to 60 clips, Pro keeps 200, and pinned clips always stay. Keyfeel never reads your clipboard until you tap Paste. TYPE THE WAY YOU LIKE Swipe to type, word suggestions, a one-handed mode for the left or right hand, emoji and kaomoji, and an optional number row. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no analytics, and no network requests. Nothing you type leaves your iPhone. Try it in Airplane Mode. Keyfeel works without Full Access: you can type, swipe and use suggestions with your chosen board. Allowing Full Access adds the switch sounds, haptics and clipboard history, because iOS only lets a keyboard play custom sound and haptics with Full Access. KEYFEEL PRO Pro opens all 12 boards and keeps up to 200 clips. Yearly, with a 7-day free trial Monthly Lifetime, one-time purchase Prices are shown in the App Store and vary by region. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.
