CRPL

Read full description

CRPL is a personal text expander for iOS. Define short codes like ;sig or ;feat and have them expand into longer snippets โ€” anywhere you can type, in any app. WHY CRPL? You write the same things over and over: email signatures, commit messages, code boilerplate, addresses, replies. CRPL turns those into a few keystrokes you actually remember. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create groups of codes in the app โ€” Git & Commits, Email Signatures, Code Snippets, whatever you need. 2. Each entry has a trigger code and a replacement. 3. Switch to the CRPL keyboard using the globe key. 4. Type your code, then press space (or any other trigger you've enabled) โ€” the code is replaced by the full snippet. FEATURES โ€ข Short, memorable trigger codes; replacements of any length โ€ข Multiple groups, each individually toggleable โ€ข Built-in variables: {datum}, {tijd}, {clipboard} insert dynamic values โ€ข Suggestion bar shows partial matches as you type โ€ข Long-press a key for accented alternates (รฉ, รจ, รฑ, รงโ€ฆ) โ€ข Custom emoji row in the keyboard โ€ข iCloud sync โ€” your snippets follow you across devices โ€ข Import / export as plain text โ€ข Dark, editorial design built for people who type a lot PRIVACY CRPL stores your data on your device and, if you enable iCloud sync, in your private iCloud container. Nothing is ever sent to us or to anyone else. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. Requires iPhone or iPad on iOS / iPadOS 17 or later. Full Access for the keyboard is required only for the {clipboard} variable..

Most to-do apps help you collect tasks. Zoro helps you cut them. Zoro is a task manager for people who run more than one project at once: founders, freelancers, builders wearing too many hats. It keeps the few agile ideas that pay off for one person (priorities, effort sizes, work-in-progress limits, a weekly review) and drops the ceremony. No sprints, no story points, no velocity charts. WORK ACROSS PROJECTS, NOT INSIDE THEM Two spaces, personal and business, hold as many projects as you need. Every task carries a priority (P1โ€“P3) and an effort size (S/M/L). One board holds product work next to invoices next to the launch plan, and the highest-leverage work rises to the top no matter which project it belongs to. THE METHOD โ€ข Three things today: you can only finish a few things a day, so Zoro asks for three โ€ข Size by effort, not time: S, M, L. Estimates in minutes are a trap โ€ข One cut at a time: a work-in-progress limit keeps you finishing before starting โ€ข Let nothing rot: tasks age visibly, so the work you're avoiding stares back โ€ข Sharpen weekly: a Friday review that reads your week back to you PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Your tasks live in your own iCloud, and Apple syncs them between your devices. Zoro has no servers that hold your data, no account to create, no analytics, no tracking. The App Privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect. We couldn't read your tasks if we wanted to. THE WEEKLY REVIEW Every Friday, Zoro assembles the facts: what you cut, what you added, what's been open too long, what you keep deferring, whether the big things are stalling. You reflect (plus, minus, next) and close the week. Over months, History becomes the honest story of how you actually work, and Trends shows the shape underneath. FREE, PROPERLY The whole method is free: unlimited tasks, unlimited projects, iCloud sync across iPhone, Mac, and the web, effort sizing, aging, the weekly reflection. No task caps. Ever. ZORO PRO Pro goes deeper into the practice: the full weekly insight cards (aging, avoidance, effort mix), every week kept in History, Trends over time, the stats dashboard, subtasks, and custom statuses. $2.99/month, $19.99/year, or $59.99 once, with a 14-day free trial. Zoro is for people who want fewer tasks, done. Not more tasks, managed. TERMS & PRIVACY Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.getzoro.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.getzoro.app/privacy
