Orbit is the task and project manager built for freelancers and independent pros. Plan your day, keep every client and project in one place, send quotes and invoices, and let Orbi, your AI assistant, take care of the busywork on iPhone and iPad. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE • A Home screen with today's focus, what's overdue, your ongoing work and what you're owed • Tasks with four priorities, statuses, due dates and times, tags, checklists, subtasks and repeating tasks • A calendar with Day, Week, Month and Agenda views, plus a feed you can subscribe to in Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar CLIENTS AND PROJECTS • Every client's contacts, projects, quotes, invoices and unbilled time on one page • Project progress, budgets by amount or hours, and what you really earn per hour GET PAID • Track time with a timer or add it later, then turn unbilled hours into an invoice • Send quotes your clients can accept or decline online — a yes becomes a project, then an invoice • Invoices with payment reminders, recurring invoices, and four layouts: Classic, Modern, Minimal and Bold • Log expenses with receipts and bill them to clients • Income and tax reports you can export as CSV or PDF ORBI, YOUR AI ASSISTANT Ask Orbi what to focus on, what's overdue or which invoices are still unpaid. Orbi looks things up across your work and lines up changes for you — nothing changes until you tap Apply. Your chat history stays on your device, and Orbi's AI providers don't train on your data. AUTOMATION Smart status keeps your tasks current on its own: start a timer and a task moves to In Progress, finish its last subtask and it moves to Done. BUILT FOR IPAD A sidebar for every section, and lists with their details side by side for tasks, projects, clients, quotes, invoices and contracts. ORBIT PRO Upgrade when you need more: • Orbi AI with up to 200 requests a day — create and edit projects, clients, invoices and more by chat, plus voice input • A leads pipeline, from first contact to won • Contracts with e-signature • Advanced analytics: productivity trends and activity breakdown • Custom automation rules • Quotes, invoices and reports without the Orbit watermark The free plan never expires and includes 5 Orbi requests a day. SUBSCRIPTION Orbit Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, billed monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.

Scan, convert and protect your documents, right on your iPhone or iPad. No ads. No watermarks. No sign-in. No scan limit. EASY - SMART SCAN - Auto-capture: hold your phone over a page; the app finds the edges and takes the shot. Prefer to tap the shutter yourself? Switch to manual capture anytime. - Auto-align: perspective is corrected and the page is cropped for you, then your default filter is applied (Magic Color unless you choose another in Settings). - Precise cropping: drag a corner or a whole edge, with a magnifier. - Six filters: Original, Magic Color, Black & White, Grayscale, Sharpen and Denoise, for one page or every page at once. - Rotate pages, import from Photos or Files, send photos, PDFs or Word files from other apps into e-Scanner, and share through the iOS share sheet: Mail, messaging apps or Save to Files. EFFICIENT - ADVANCED OCR - On-device text recognition with Apple Vision, in English, Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese. - Extract text on your device from the camera or any document in your library, free and offline. - PDF to Word keeps tables and math formulas as editable content. - Content search: find words inside your documents, Word files included, not just in file names. Search runs on your device. EFFICIENT - PDF TOOLKIT - 14 tools: merge, split, reorder & delete pages, rotate, compress, watermark, lock, unlock, images to PDF, convert to JPG, Word to PDF, PDF to Word, extract text and ID card (front and back on one A4 page). - Sign: draw your signature or pick it from a photo, then place it on any page of a PDF. - Blur: hide account numbers, addresses or faces on a page and save the result as a new document. - Open Word files inside the app, and print wirelessly. ENCRYPTED - YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY YOURS - Contracts, bank statements, ID cards: scans, PDFs and document names are encrypted with AES-256 where they are stored, on your device. - Files use iOS data protection and are excluded from iCloud and device backups. - Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID or a PIN, and put a password on important PDFs. - Scanning, editing, search and export all work offline. CLEAR ABOUT THE CLOUD Server processing is off by default. Only two tools use it: PDF to Word and Word to PDF. They stay off until you turn on Advanced OCR in Settings and accept the data notice. Everything else runs on your device. PREMIUM The free version is complete: no ads, no watermarks, unlimited scanning and every tool. Premium adds: - Advanced OCR: 150 pages a month (up to 30 a day) instead of 10 a month - Merge PDF: unlimited files instead of 3 at a time - Images to PDF: unlimited images instead of 5 per PDF - Word to PDF: unlimited instead of 20 a day - Blur: unlimited instead of 10 free uses - Content search: free users see which documents and pages match; Premium opens a result at the matching page, shows snippets, and searches inside scanned documents - Lock and unlock PDFs with a password SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION e-Scanner Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. The price in your currency is shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the renewal is charged within 24 hours before that. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Terms of Use: https://escanner.pbsolutions.io/en/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://escanner.pbsolutions.io/en/privacy/
