CellArc turns your iPhone's battery into something you can understand and plan around — on device, with no account, no ads and no subscription. NEW IN 4.0 • Battery Health Log — iOS shows Maximum Capacity only as today's number. Log it from Settings > Battery > Battery Health (plus the cycle count on iPhone 15 and later) and CellArc fits a trend from your own readings: loss per year, cycles per month, loss per 100 cycles and a projected date for reaching 80%. • Siri & Shortcuts — "Battery Outlook" summarizes your level, today's recorded discharge and latest Maximum Capacity. "Log Battery Level" records a sample even while CellArc is closed; add it to a Shortcuts automation such as "When iPhone is connected to power". "Log Maximum Capacity" adds a health reading by voice. • Full backup & restore — one JSON file with your samples, charging sessions, daily rollups, health log and routine trials. Restoring only adds missing records; it never deletes or overwrites. • Redesigned navigation — the system tab bar with five clear destinations, and every Power Lab tool opens with a real back button. Higher-contrast text, Dynamic Type support and a calmer iPad layout. WHAT CELLARC DOES • Dashboard with live level, Battery Action Plan and a 7-day longevity trend • Live Forecast: time to full and time to empty from recent movement • Charging sessions with time to 80%, peak thermal state and charge-speed trend • Longevity score, 20–80% band coach, drain analysis, usage rhythm and heat exposure • Scenario Studio and Routine Trials to test a changed habit against your own data • Trip Planner with power-bank sizing, Best Time to Charge, Storage Mode reminders and Lifetime Energy • Offline Charger Guide and a 23-topic Battery Field Guide with Apple sources • CSV, text and PDF reports HONEST ABOUT iOS LIMITS iOS does not let apps read Maximum Capacity, cycle count, temperature or per-app power. CellArc samples the public battery level and thermal state while it is open (or when your shortcut runs), labels estimates as estimates, and uses the readings you enter for health trends. It is not a diagnostic or service tool. Everything included — one purchase, no subscription. iPhone and iPad.

NeatPaste

NeatPaste cleans up pasted text and lets you compare key values with the original before you copy, export, or share it. ā–  CLEAN UP PASTED TEXT Choose from three cleanup modes. Smart Clean Rejoins broken lines, removes extra spaces, changes curly quotes to straight quotes, and removes unwanted invisible characters. AI Clean Removes # and ## heading marks and ** emphasis asterisks from AI responses while keeping bullet markers intact. Turns mid-sentence em dashes into commas in English text, while preserving dashes in number ranges, headings, code, and URLs. PDF Repair Rejoins lines copied from PDFs, repairs words split by end-of-line hyphens, and removes lines that contain only page numbers. You can also run individual actions for line breaks, spaces, quotes, blank lines, full-width characters, dashes, and emoji. Only the selected action runs. ā–  CHECK EACH CLEANUP After every cleanup, NeatPaste compares numbers, amounts, dates, URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, lists, headings, and other items before and after formatting. If nothing changed, you can continue to copy or share. If something changed, the app shows the affected category and count. ā–  COMPARE WITH THE ORIGINAL Open Check from the bottom bar to list the amounts, dates, numbers, URLs, and other values in your text. Add the original text to see whether any values changed. Check never rewrites your text. Viewing the results, checking invisible characters, and copying the verification record are free. ā–  COPY AND EXPORT Copy the cleaned text, export it as a PDF, or share it. Undo restores the text from before the last cleanup. You can also send text to NeatPaste from another app's share menu. ā–  PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE Pro includes: • Detailed before-and-after changes • Selective restore • Protected terms for names, companies, and model numbers • Cleanup inside email quotes and indented lists • Formatting for different destinations • Removal of repeated company or document title lines from PDFs • Choose what to compare after cleanup • Before-and-after details in Check and one-tap copying of original values • Locations of invisible characters by line and character position There is no subscription. One purchase works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and can be restored from the purchase screen. ā–  PRIVACY All processing stays on your device. Your text is never uploaded and is not kept as history. Text you send from the Share Sheet is held on your device for up to 5 minutes only so the app can receive it, and is deleted once received or at the next launch. No external AI service, account, or ads.
