StarfloaTik is a clean, fast and secure manager for MikroTik Hotspot — built for vessels, crews, fleet managers and network administrators who run onboard or onshore Wi-Fi from their phone. One app, two modes: Admin for the person who manages the router, and Crew for everyone who uses the Wi-Fi. CREW MODE Turn it on in one tap. Each crew member logs in with their hotspot login and gets their own screens: - Traffic and GB left, time online and their devices — live. - Notices and announcements from the admin, and personal notices just for them. - Vessel chat and direct chats phone to phone over the vessel Wi-Fi — no internet and no traffic needed. Photos, reactions and replies. - Messages and top-up requests to the admin. - GB transfers to other crew members and a one-time limit for their own session. For the admin, Crew Manager keeps it all in one place: who is online, chat, GB transfers, session limits, announcements, personal notices and crew requests such as password changes — approve in one tap. ADMIN MODE Connect directly to your RouterOS device over its native API and get full control in seconds: - Live dashboard — model, RouterOS version, uptime, CPU and memory load, real-time WAN traffic chart. - Hotspot users — create users and vouchers, edit, enable, disable or remove them. Assign profiles, set traffic limits, reset counters one by one or in bulk. - Active sessions — who is online right now: username, IP, MAC, uptime, live speed and traffic used. Disconnect anyone in one tap, or everyone before maintenance. - Profiles — shared users, rate limits, session and idle timeouts. - Router tools — bridges and interfaces, firewall rules, hotspot servers, DNS, Wi-Fi settings, scripts and scheduler, router time. - Notice to crew — a pop-up and banner on the hot.spot login page, with ready templates. - Your hot.spot pages — new design with your own background and app download buttons, updated straight from the app. - Telegram — top-up requests from the crew, daily traffic reports and a torrent detector that blocks torrent users automatically. - History and reports — every change is logged; History and Data reports with PDF export; back up the History to the router and restore it on a new phone. - Maritime zone map — territorial waters and your position on the map, with a distance tool. DESIGN Built in the iOS 26 Liquid Glass style: native glass buttons, menus and tab bar, smooth animations, two-column layouts on iPad, Face ID login. Available in English, Ukrainian, Filipino and Hindi. PRIVACY FIRST StarfloaTik connects directly from your phone to your router. No StarfloaTik servers, no analytics, no tracking. The crew chat stays on the vessel Wi-Fi, phone to phone. Your router password is stored only on your device and protected by Face ID. Try everything first in Demo mode — no router needed, for both admin and crew. Perfect for vessels, fleets, hotels, campsites and any place where MikroTik powers the guest Wi-Fi. Requires a MikroTik router with the API service enabled (port 8728) on the same network. Crew mode works on the router's hotspot Wi-Fi.

StopScroll

Pause the scroll, not the connection. StopScroll blocks TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram on your child's phone. Set up in 5 minutes directly within the phone's native Screen Time system—not a loose filter that can be easily bypassed. WHY IT MATTERS Studies show a massive increase in screen time among youth, with many spending over 4 hours daily on their devices. At the same time, a large majority of teens experience uncomfortable or inappropriate content online. StopScroll gives you a concrete tool to set healthy boundaries while you figure out what works best for your family. HOW IT WORKS • Choose which apps to block – e.g., TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram. • Set a schedule – e.g., block access from 8:00 PM to 7:00 AM. • Select specific days – e.g., allow free access on weekends. • Create a Master PIN – a secure code only parents know, required to change settings. • Grant temporary "bonus time" – easily provide access outside the agreed schedule when needed. BUILT TO LAST StopScroll uses Apple's built-in Screen Time technology (Family Controls). The block is enforced directly by the phone's operating system, and the app cannot be deleted by the child while protection is active. It is deep and secure parental control. From the same team behind SpilPause.dk. SUBSCRIPTION StopScroll Premium is an auto-renewing monthly subscription. • Price: 5.99 USD/month, after a 7-day free trial. • Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage your subscription by going to Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.
