QuickFX converts currencies without getting in your way. Type an amount and you have the answer. 161 currencies, with rates updated every hour. THE CONVERTER Type in either box and the other one updates as you go. Pin the pairs you use most and switch between them with one tap. The chart shows how the rate has moved over the last day, week or month, and a little speech bubble tells you in plain English whether today is a good day to change money. HOME SCREEN, LOCK SCREEN AND WRIST Widgets show your rate without opening the app. There's an Apple Watch app, and Siri and Shortcuts can do a quick conversion for you. RATE ALERTS Set a target rate and QuickFX lets you know when a currency gets there. YOUR LANGUAGE English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Pick one in Settings, or let QuickFX follow your iPhone. QUICKFX PRO The converter is free and always will be. Pro adds the extras for people who travel a lot. Scan prices. Point your camera at a menu or a price tag and every price is converted right where it's printed. Freeze the picture, zoom in, save it to Photos. The reading happens on your iPhone, so it works without a connection. Your card's fee. Most bank cards add 1.5 to 3% when you pay in another currency. Tell QuickFX your fee and it adds it to every conversion and every scanned price, so you see what you'll really pay. Longer charts. Three months, one year, five years, or all the way back. Ten colours for the converter. Swiss made by Purple Mouse. No account, no ads. QuickFX Pro is a yearly subscription. It renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the current year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and you can manage or cancel the subscription in your App Store account settings.

MyLinedChart

MyLinedChart keeps every trend line, level, note and indicator value attached to your chart as data you can export, so the thinking behind a setup is still there tomorrow and next quarter. EXPORT YOUR ANALYSIS AS DATA Export the whole chart as XLSX, JSON or CSV. Drawings, levels, notes, indicator values and OHLCV bars come out with the numbers attached, and you choose what goes in the file. Each drawing keeps its own dates and prices, so a level you marked months ago still lines up when you reopen the chart. USE AI ON YOUR LIVE CHART Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and the AI can read your chart, draw on it, configure indicators and build custom indicators from something you describe. Turn on Let ChatGPT and Claude read this chart and ask from the ChatGPT or Claude app: they can suggest lines, price alerts and watchlists, and nothing changes until you tap Apply. Ask Siri and the answer shows a picture of your chart, the price and the nearest lines. The on-device AI behind Siri can explain your chart and mark its key levels. ONE QUESTION FOR A WHOLE WATCHLIST Ask AI about every symbol in a watchlist at once. The answer comes as one table you can copy, export as XLSX or add as a watchlist column. BRING YOUR OWN DATA Connect the broker or market data account you already pay for, such as Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, Alpaca, Polygon, Finnhub, Twelve Data, Coinbase, Kraken or Bybit. Your keys stay in the device Keychain and go only to the provider you chose, never through our servers. SCREENER AND ALERTS Filter a watchlist on price against a moving average, a crossover, RSI, an N day high or low, volume or a price range. Build an alert from the same conditions and get a notification when the alert fires. NEWS FOR YOUR SYMBOL The News tab shows Little Bird Trading's daily report for the symbol on your chart. Pro adds today's levels to your chart in one tap. WIDGETS AND APPLE WATCH Home Screen widgets come in large, medium and small, with your watchlist prices. Add a widget to your Lock Screen too, or open MyLinedChart on Apple Watch to see your list. APP LOCK App Lock asks for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode before MyLinedChart opens. App Lock is part of Pro. SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES With Pro, your chart set-up, lines, indicators, watchlists, alerts and layouts stay in step on every device you sign in to. Keys, broker logins and prices stay on each device. If two devices changed since the last sync, you pick which version to keep. WELCOME GUIDE IN 21 LANGUAGES The Welcome Guide shows each first step with a picture, from connecting your data and setting up AI to asking Siri to open a symbol. MyLinedChart comes in 21 languages. Pick yours in Settings or in the Welcome Guide. THE FULL CHARTING KIT Ten chart types including candles, Heikin Ashi and Renko. Built in indicators such as moving averages, Bollinger Bands, MACD, RSI and VWAP, plus custom indicators you describe in natural language. Sort drawings into folders and hide a whole folder at once. Split the screen into several charts, save layouts and back up your whole workspace. STARTER AND PRO On Starter, drawing, alerts, indicators, the screener and AI all work on example bars marked DEMO. Starter clears your work when the app restarts or after 30 minutes away. Pro charts your own provider's data, keeps and syncs your work, and adds export, widgets, Apple Watch and App Lock. Try Pro for 3 days. When Pro ends, your work is kept for 30 days. MyLinedChart is a read only charting and analysis tool: the app never places, modifies or cancels an order and never touches your money. MyLinedChart is not a broker, there is no ad network and no data resale, and nothing in the app is financial, investment or trading advice.
