DashFlare is the Cloudflare client that actually works. Manage your domains, DNS records, and cache directly from your iPhone or iPad. No subscriptions to use the basics, no menu trees pretending to be a dashboard, no broken credential storage. Built by a developer with 40+ Cloudflare zones who was tired of the official app showing a menu and the competition crashing on launch. DashFlare gets out of your way. WHAT YOU GET FREE • Live dashboard with traffic, page views, threats, bandwidth, and cache hit rate • 24-hour and 7-day analytics across your top domains • Browse DNS records for any zone (read-only) • Cloudflare component status (so you know if it's them, not you) • Health checks — ping your own sites with one tap • Up to 3 domains visible at a time WHAT DASHFLARE PRO ADDS • Unlimited domains — see all of them at once • 14-day, 30-day, and custom date-range analytics • Favorites — pin the domains you actually care about • Quick actions — Purge cache, Under Attack Mode, Pause, Dev Mode • DNS write access — Create, edit, and delete records from the app • No upsells inside the app PRO PRICING • DashFlare Pro Monthly — $1.99 / month, auto-renewing subscription • DashFlare Pro Yearly — $19.99 / year, auto-renewing subscription • DashFlare Pro Lifetime — $34.99 one-time purchase, never billed again SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew at the price stated above unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions can be managed and auto-renew turned off by going to your iOS Settings > [your Apple ID] > Subscriptions after purchase. No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period. Lifetime is a one-time non-consumable purchase and is not a subscription. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://vikingnetllc.com/dashflare/privacy.html TECHNICAL HONESTY • Your Cloudflare API token is stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. We never see it. • No backend. The app talks directly to Cloudflare's API. We have no servers in between to collect anything. • No analytics SDK. No advertising SDK. No tracking. Check the privacy policy — you'll see "no data collected" because there genuinely isn't any. • Open standards: REST + GraphQL. Same APIs Cloudflare's own dashboard uses. DARK MODE BY DEFAULT Because you're a developer and your eyes deserve it. PRIVACY https://vikingnetllc.com/dashflare/privacy.html SUPPORT eric@vikingnetllc.com

Features
Read full description

Sofal is a pottery studio notebook for makers who want their clay, glaze, photos, and firing history in one organized place. Track each piece from wet clay to finished work. Save before-and-after photos, clay body, glaze choices, wheel, weight, dimensions, tags, notes, firing details, and current stage. Build your own studio material library. Scan glaze labels and clay bags with the camera, review OCR-suggested fields, and save useful details for future pieces. Sofal keeps the core workflow local-first and iCloud-ready. Your pottery records live in the app database and can sync through your private iCloud account when CloudKit is available. Optional online AI research can be enabled in Settings if you bring your own provider API key. When enabled, Sofal can send selected OCR text and label images to your chosen provider to help fill material metadata. This is off by default and always reviewable before saving. Designed for potters, ceramic artists, studio assistants, teachers, and hobbyists who want a cleaner way to remember what clay, glaze, firing, and process created each result.
