Pinlet

Read full description

Keep what matters right where you can see it. Pinlet turns a short piece of text into a Live Activity, so it can stay visible on Dynamic Island and your Lock Screen while you move through your day. Add a deadline, a pickup code, a short intention, or anything else you do not want to lose in a list. PULL TEXT FROM ANY SCREENSHOT Circle any part of a screenshot or photo and Pinlet reads the text for you. Fine-tune the result word by word or character by character, then pin exactly what you need — no retyping. WRITE AND PIN Enter up to 120 characters and pin them in one tap. Update the text whenever the important thing changes, or unpin it when you are done. STAY VISIBLE On supported iPhone models, pinned text appears on Dynamic Island. It also appears as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen. iOS controls Live Activity availability and may end an activity according to system policy. START FROM ANYWHERE Long-press the Pinlet icon for Quick Input, or use Shortcuts to pin text, unpin, or open a screenshot in Pinlet from anywhere on your phone. RETURN TO WHAT MATTERED Pinlet keeps a history of successfully pinned text. Mark useful entries as favorites, reuse them as a new draft, delete individual entries, or automatically clean up older nonfavorite history. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your content and any text recognition happen on your iPhone by default. Pinlet has no account system, advertising, third-party analytics, or custom server. OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC If you choose to enable iCloud sync, your history, favorites, and recent activity times are stored in your private CloudKit database and synced to devices using the same Apple Account. iCloud sync is off by default. Requires iOS 17 or later. Pinlet is designed for iPhone.

WorkLog is a time-tracking and pay-management tool built for the modern worker — hourly or salaried, full-time or side hustle. Every minute worked, every cent earned, accounted for with clarity. [ONE-TAP TIMER, REAL-TIME EARNINGS] • Press once to start. Live Activities and Home Screen widgets keep the clock visible from the Lock Screen — no need to reopen the app. • Today's earnings update live as the timer runs. • Survives overnight spans, background suspension, and device restarts — your timer state is always restored. [CALENDAR VIEW, AT A GLANCE] • Heat-map calendar reveals your work intensity at a glance; list view for quick scanning of history. • Long-press any date to backfill a shift; batch edit, archive, or delete with a swipe. • Every record keeps a full change history — never wonder "what did I change last time?" again. [MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SUMMARIES] • Five time scopes: Day, Week, Month, Year, and All-Time. • One card shows: total hours, regular hours, overtime hours, gross earnings, social insurance, housing fund, income tax, and net pay. • Period-over-period comparison and trend charts show whether you're up or down. • Export to CSV in one tap for reimbursements, reconciliation, or archiving. [INCOME TAX CALCULATOR — CITY-AWARE] • Built-in five-insurance-and-one-fund ratios and income tax brackets for major Chinese cities. • Supports special additional deductions (children's education, housing rent, elderly care, and more). • Pull values from an existing work profile, or run a standalone simulation — year-end bonus separate taxation supported too. [FLEXIBLE MULTI-JOB MANAGEMENT] • Manage multiple jobs simultaneously — each with its own color, icon, and pay structure. • Hourly or monthly pay modes, configurable pay cycles (weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly). • Custom overtime rules: daily excess, weekly excess, rest days, and holidays each set independently. • Lunch break toggle and adjustable start/end times — count it as work or not. • Social insurance and housing fund base, personal and employer ratios all editable. • Salary change history kept on file — every adjustment traceable. [SYNC & BACKUP, WORRY-FREE] • iCloud sync keeps iPhone, iPad, and all your devices in step in real time. • CSV import and export — nothing is lost when switching devices. • App Group shared storage means the widget and Live Activity read the same data as the app. [THOUGHTFUL DETAILS] • 8 currencies: CNY, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, KRW, HKD, TWD. • Bilingual (Simplified Chinese / English) — follow the system or pick manually. • Light, Dark, or Automatic appearance. • Adjustable font size — friendlier on the eyes. • Holiday subscription auto-detects statutory holidays and makeup workdays for accurate overtime. • Fully on-device storage; your private data never leaves your device or iCloud. —— WorkLog — log every moment, earn every day.
