PromoKit helps app developers organize App Store offer-code campaigns without spreadsheet busywork. Import offer-code CSVs from App Store Connect, group codes by app and product, and share the next available code when a reviewer, tester, creator, or customer needs one. PromoKit can send code text through the iOS share sheet, copy a code, or create a branded QR share card that opens the redeem flow. Keep campaign history tidy as codes move. Mark codes as shared, record recipient names, set expiry dates, separate expired offers, and export CSVs with usage state preserved. Your code lists stay under your control. PromoKit stores campaign state in iCloud Documents when available, with a local Application Support fallback, and does not include advertising, third-party analytics, or tracking SDKs. Features: - Import App Store Connect offer-code CSVs - Organize multiple apps, products, and offers - Share, copy, or QR-share the next available code - Track recipients, shared dates, and remaining inventory - Mark codes used individually or in bulk - Set offer expiry dates and group expired offers - Export CSVs with sharing history preserved - Use light, dark, or system appearance

About

Tapproval

Features
Read full description

Tapproval is a remote control for Claude Code on your Apple Watch. When the agent working on your computer asks permission — run this command? change this file? — the question lands on your wrist, and one tap answers it. No phone out of the pocket, no walk back to the desk. WHAT IT DOES • Approve or deny with one tap — your computer obeys instantly • Answer real multiple-choice questions, with the same options as on your desktop • Follow sessions live, grouped by what they need: which one needs you, which one is working, and the project each belongs to • Read the conversation the way your phone shows it, with bold, lists and plans laid out, and reply from the watch: "Proceed", "Run tests", "/code-review", or anything you dictate • See your day: what was handled without you, and what you decided NOTHING TO CONFIGURE The watch finds your computer by itself — on your home Wi-Fi, or away from home through a private travel address. No account, no third-party server: your prompts and conversations never leave your own machines. WHAT YOU NEED A computer running Claude Code (any Mac or Linux machine) with the free, open-source helper installed — one command, then forget it. Curious first? The built-in demo shows the whole flow without any setup. Your first 100 answers are free. After that, one purchase of $5 unlocks unlimited answers for good. There is no subscription and no account. Reading sessions and the day's activity stays free, and a prompt you don't answer from the wrist still appears on your computer as usual, so nothing is ever blocked. An optional $1 coffee for the developer is there too.
