The internet is lava now โ€” scam links, shady trackers, and pages that follow you everywhere. Lava Security blocks known-bad domains right on your iPhone. Turn it on, pick a protection level, and get back to using your phone. No account. No signup. Nothing routed through us. How it works: Before apps and websites connect, Lava checks domain names on this phone โ€” matching them against curated blocklists for phishing, scams, malware, and trackers. Everything happens locally, right on your device. Filters, made simple: - Pick Core, Balanced, or Extra depending on how much you want blocked - Freely choose from more curated blocklists โ€” ads, trackers, adult content, gambling, and more - Fine-tune what's allowed or blocked, domain by domain - Auto-switch filters with iOS Focus and Automation (Sleep, Work, and more) โ€” no taps needed See what Lava's doing: Open Activity to see what's been blocked and check Domain History for recent lookups. Clear it whenever you want โ€” it's kept on this phone for 7 days and nowhere else. If you send a bug report, only aggregate counts go with it โ€” never your actual domain history. Your privacy, by design: Domain filtering happens on your iPhone, not on our servers. Lava Security LLC doesn't receive a feed of the sites you visit. DNS queries go to whichever resolver you choose โ€” your device's default, or an encrypted option like Cloudflare or Quad9 โ€” never through Lava. Lava's core protection is free, keeping your everyday browsing safe. Need more filters or custom blocklists? Lava Security Plus is there when you want it. Let's give the weird web some simple protection. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Bitcoin Research Tool is a fast, privacy-first cryptographic puzzle tool built for exploring publicly known Bitcoin puzzle ranges. Run local hunts, test partial-key templates, convert between key formats, and keep every discovery organized on your device. The app is designed for speed, clarity, and control โ€” without requiring an account. CORE TOOLS โ€ข Live Board: browse active puzzle targets and track progress. โ€ข Template Mining: keep known characters fixed while wildcards search the missing parts. โ€ข Sequential and Random Scan Modes: explore ranges in the way that fits your strategy. โ€ข Kangaroo Solver: use an advanced engine for supported pubkey puzzles. โ€ข Universal Converter: move between private key, public key, address, WIF, HEX, and decimal formats. โ€ข Win Vault: save found keys and review them later. โ€ข Stats: follow local history, progress, and performance. โ€ข Balance Checker: check public balance information when you are online. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sign in with Apple is optional. You can continue without an account and start hunting immediately. Your private keys are processed locally and never leave this device. WORK OFFLINE Mining, conversion, vault access, and stats continue to work without a network connection. Balance checks and live price information require internet access. PREMIUM Premium unlocks advanced template mining, the kangaroo solver, and random scan mode with a single one-time purchase โ€” no subscription, no recurring charges. Premium expands the available tools; it never changes the mathematical odds and never guarantees a result. IMPORTANT Bitcoin Research Tool is not a wallet, exchange, gambling, custodial service, trading platform, or Bitcoin network mining pool. It is a cryptographic puzzle utility for challenges and keys you are authorized to access. Results are never guaranteed, and puzzle balances may change at any time.
