808 Hub
Read full descriptionHide full description
808 Hub is a focused utility hub that brings together ten daily tools behind one calm, dark interface. Instead of installing five different single-purpose apps, 808 Hub gives you a single home for the small jobs you do every day: scan a QR code, convert a unit, format a piece of JSON, pick a color, time a task. Every result is saved as a record you can search, tag, pin or favorite, so the tools you use most stay one tap away. What is inside QR Code Scan QR codes with the camera or decode them from a saved image. Generate QR codes from any text or URL and save them to your photo library. Unit Converter Convert length, weight, volume, temperature, area, speed, time, data size and more. Precision arithmetic so the last decimal place is always correct. Text Tools Change case, count words and characters, encode and decode Base64 and URLs, generate MD5 and SHA hashes, escape and unescape strings. Calculator Evaluate full mathematical expressions including parentheses, exponents, common functions like sin, cos, log and sqrt. History of past results. Color Picker Pick a color, see its hex, rgb and hsl values side by side, copy any format with a tap, save palettes for later. Timer and Stopwatch Run multiple named countdown timers and a precise stopwatch with lap times. Sessions are saved so you can see how long things actually took. Voice Memo Quick voice notes recorded straight to a local file. Play back later, attach tags, delete when no longer needed. Tone Generator Generate a clean sine, square, triangle or sawtooth tone at any frequency. Useful for audio testing and ear training. Image Compress Reduce the file size of photos from your library without leaving the app. Compare before and after, save the smaller version back to your library. JSON Formatter Paste any JSON and get it pretty printed, minified or validated. Tree view with collapsible sections for large payloads. One records system across every tool Every tool run becomes a record you can revisit. Filter records by tool, search by text inside the payload, pin the important ones, attach custom color-coded tags. Save common inputs as shortcuts so a frequent unit conversion or a recurring tone is one tap from launch. Designed to stay out of your way Dark theme with a deep blue-purple gradient throughout. No ads, no upsells inside the tools, no tracking of what you convert or scan. The app asks only for the permissions a tool actually needs, the moment you first use that tool, and the in-app explanation tells you exactly why. Permissions Camera is used when you open the QR scanner. Photo library is used when you pick an image for QR decoding or image compression, and when you save a generated QR or compressed image back. Microphone is used when you record a voice memo. No background location, no Bluetooth scanning, no contacts access, no health data, no advertising identifiers. If you have been looking for one calm place to do the small jobs you do every day, give 808 Hub a try.
WeftBook

WeftBook is a practical notebook for handweavers—built for drafting on the loom. DESIGN YOUR DRAFT Edit threading, tie-up, and treadling on clear grids. Watch the drawdown update as you work, with cross-highlighting that shows how each end, shaft, treadle, and pick connects. Name drafts, add notes, and keep recent work ready on your home dashboard. START FROM STRUCTURES Browse the structure library and clone a weave into an editable draft so you can begin with a working pattern instead of a blank grid. Adjust shafts and treadles to match your loom. YARDAGE & SETT TOOLS Use the yardage calculator to plan warp and weft from sett (EPI), finished size, item count, loom waste, and structure factor. Use the sett estimator with yarn WPI to get a recommended epi range and check whether a target sett is plausible for that yarn. TRACK PROJECTS ON THE LOOM Log yards woven, follow progress against your yarn budget, and see yards remaining on the current warp. The home screen surfaces yards woven year-to-date and what’s on the loom now—so you always know where you stand. BUILT FOR THE STUDIO A calm paper-and-ink layout with draft-sheet styling keeps focus on the work. Everything stays on your device for everyday studio use—no account required to explore drafts, calculators, and project tracking. Whether you weave towels, scarves, or yardage, WeftBook helps you draft clearly, buy yarn wisely, and finish what you put on the loom. Questions or ideas?
