About

Store Fix

Features
Read full description

Store Fix keeps App Store links on the storefront region you choose, so app pages open in the country or region you expect. Why this matters: in some storefront regions, such as China, an App Store URL that is not fixed to the local region code can fail to open the app's product page. Store Fix rewrites apps.apple.com links to your selected storefront, so regional App Store pages keep working. With the Safari extension enabled, Store Fix works when you click App Store links on web pages and when you paste or type an App Store URL directly into Safari. Use it to: - Keep App Store pages on one preferred region - Jump between storefronts from the Safari toolbar - Search a full storefront list by country, localized name, or region code - Keep common regions such as China, Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, and Canada close at hand - Optionally force App Store links to stay in Safari instead of opening the App Store app Store Fix is designed for people who compare apps across regions, use multiple Apple storefronts, or simply want App Store links to behave predictably.

Write a secret. Share one link. It reads once and burns. BurnPony encrypts your note on your phone before anything is sent. The server stores only ciphertext it cannot read, the decryption key travels in a part of the link that browsers never transmit, and the recipient needs nothing but a browser. No app on their side, no account on yours. WHAT IT DOES One link, any recipient, any device with a browser. View limits from 1 to 100, expiry from 5 minutes to 30 days, an optional auto-hide timer after reveal. Optional passphrase as a second factor, shared through a different channel than the link. Read receipts, honestly: the recipient is told before they open. No silent tracking, ever. Labels that never leave your phone: name a note "wifi password for mom" and the read notification says so, while the server knows nothing. Sent Notes: live status, view counts, change the expiration after sending, burn early with a swipe. The recipient page speaks nine languages, following the reader's browser. WHY YOU CAN CHECK INSTEAD OF TRUST The entire system is open source: this app, the server, and the recipient page, with a written protocol specification and cross-implementation test vectors. The note page is byte-reproducible from its published source, so View Source is a real audit, not a gesture. You can even run your own server and point the app at it from Settings. HONEST LIMITS Self-destruction limits exposure; it cannot un-share. A recipient can always copy or photograph a revealed note, and BurnPony says so on the note page itself, because a privacy tool that overpromises is worse than none.
