PutSpot is a privacy-focused item finder and home inventory app that helps you save where you put things at home using photos, names, tags, notes, reminders, and location details. Save keys, glasses, pill organizers, passports, chargers, remotes, jewelry, warranty papers, seasonal clothes, moving boxes, storage bins, or household documents — then find them in seconds. Stop searching for things at home Instead of asking “Where did I put that?” again and again, save it in PutSpot. Link items to rooms, closets, drawers, shelves, boxes, or storage areas. Use search and voice search to quickly find what you need. How it works • Take a photo of an item or add one from your gallery. • Add a name, note, tag, or location. • Create a location system such as Room > Closet > Box. • Scan QR labels for boxes and places to see what’s inside. • Keep item reminders, documents, purchase and warranty details with items. • Find items fast with search or voice search. • Share item photos, notes, and location details with family or caregivers. For moving, boxes, and home organization PutSpot helps you build a simple digital home inventory for moving lists, storage boxes, closets, drawers, pantry areas, office supplies, important documents, and everyday items. Track what is inside each box, where each item is stored, and which drawer, shelf, closet, or room it belongs to. Helpful for memory-friendly organization PutSpot gives you a visual item tracking space to help remember where things are placed at home. It can be useful for ADHD-friendly home organization, visual routines, or keeping frequently misplaced items such as keys, glasses, pill organizers, papers, remotes, and chargers easier to find. PutSpot can also support family members and caregivers by making item locations easier to share and remember. For someone living with memory challenges, dementia, or Alzheimer’s, PutSpot is not a medical tracking tool. It is a practical home organization app that can help visually record where household items are stored. PutSpot does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or disease management. It is not a medical device. 49 languages and a comfortable interface PutSpot supports 49 languages. Clean screens, clear buttons, dark and light themes, reduced motion options, and a distraction-free interface make home organization easier. Privacy-focused by design PutSpot can be used without creating an account. Items and places are stored on your device by default. App Lock can add extra protection. AI-assisted suggestions PutSpot can offer name and tag suggestions from photos and text to make saving items faster. Free users can use on-device text recognition and basic suggestions. Pro users can optionally download an advanced AI package for stronger photo-based item name and tag suggestions. Voice input and voice search Use voice input in supported fields. Add item names, tags, or locations by voice, then use voice search later to find saved items faster.

Blue Hour
Read full descriptionHide full description
Blue Hour turns time into light: a sun sinks toward the horizon as your timer runs, so you can feel how much is left without reading a number. Built kindly for ADHD and time-blindness, calm enough for classrooms and kids. No account, no ads, no streaks. Free forever, with a tip jar in Settings. RAISE THE SUN Drag the sun up to set your time, one minute to three hours, with soft detents you can feel. Prefer numbers? Tap the readout for a keypad. Three preset chips keep your rituals one tap away. THE SETTLING DUSK As the last light falls, the sky deepens and the screen dims a few gentle stops. At zero: two slow breaths of glow, a soft haptic, and an optional two-note chime. No alarm slam. Ever. THE LIGHT FOLLOWS YOU A Live Activity keeps the sinking sun on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. An optional nudge can tell you when time is up, even if you have looked away. Off by default. CYCLES, GENTLY Pomodoro in Blue Hour's language: work while the sun sets, then the break is a sunrise. The sky returns to morning, and the next round starts when you do. Rounds are counted in little suns, never quotas. START FROM ANYWHERE A Home Screen widget starts your usual timer in one tap. Siri and Shortcuts can start, pause, and resume without opening the app. FOR CLASSROOMS One tap opens the big display: a wall-sized countdown calm enough for a whole room, with a classroom preset set from one to twenty minutes. A QUIET LINE EACH DAWN Every day the idle sky carries one line from 412 public-domain quotations. Seneca, Thoreau, Lao Tzu, old proverbs. One per day. No feed, no push, no hustle. CALM BY CONSTRUCTION • Optional halfway and final-minute cues • Keeps the screen awake while the light falls, if you want • Wall-clock accurate: background it, come back, the light agrees • VoiceOver, Reduced Motion, and Dynamic Type are first-class FREE FOREVER Every feature, free. No premium tier, no subscription. If Blue Hour earns a place on your Home Screen, there is a tip jar in Settings. It unlocks nothing. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No analytics. No tracking. Blue Hour makes zero network calls, and its App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected," the rare kind that means exactly what it says. The light keeps track for you.
