eCopy for iPhone and iPad is the mobile companion app for eCopy 2.1. Browse, search, organize, and copy your clipboard history on the go. You can also save content you just copied on your iPhone or iPad, then continue using it later on your Mac or other devices. Version 2.1 adds manual text items, image text recognition, OCR search, and system translation, making screenshots, references, and reusable text easier to find and reuse. === Core Features === Cross-Device Clipboard History Sync clipboard history across Mac, iPhone, and iPad with iCloud using the same Apple ID. Your data stays on your devices and in your private iCloud database. It is not sent to our servers. Browse and Search Quickly browse clipboard history on mobile devices. Search by keyword, recognized image text, and notes. Filter by favorites, content type, source app, time range, custom groups, and items with notes. Save Current Clipboard After copying text, images, links, or colors on iPhone or iPad, you can save the current clipboard content to eCopy and keep it searchable and organized. Create Text Items Add a text record manually for frequently used addresses, account notes, support replies, code snippets, and temporary references. Empty text is ignored, and duplicate text updates the existing record. Image Text Recognition Images and image files can be recognized in the background after they are saved. Recognized text can be searched, viewed, copied, and sent to system translation. System Translation On supported system versions, text content and recognized text can use Apple system translation to show a translation without relying on third-party translation services. Three-Column iPad Layout On iPad, eCopy uses a large-screen layout with groups on the left, history in the middle, and detail preview on the right. Groups, Favorites, Pins, and Notes Organize items with groups, keep frequent content in favorites, pin important records, and add notes for easier lookup later. Deleting a favorited or pinned item asks for confirmation to help prevent mistakes. Rich Content Support eCopy supports common clipboard content including text, images, files, links, and colors, with clean list and detail previews. === Platform Role === The iPhone and iPad app focuses on browsing, searching, organizing, copying, translating, and saving current clipboard content. The Mac app remains the full productivity workflow with the menu bar panel, keyboard shortcuts, automatic paste, context menu actions, and paste queue. === Privacy === All clipboard data is stored only on your devices and in your private iCloud database. eCopy does not upload your data to third-party servers, contains no ads, no tracking, and no analytics telemetry.

Most task apps flatten your life into a list. DoTree doesn't. Here you break a goal down as far as you actually think — from the big ambition to the next small step. Folders inside folders, like a file system. Everything draggable, like files. And when it's time to work, you never have to look at the tree: the Active view shows only what's due now. • A TREE, NOT A LIST: unlimited depth, projects with progress bars — weighted by effort if you want • WHAT'S ACTUALLY DUE: the Active view pulls today out of a thousand tasks, grouped by date or by priority • IMPORTANT, OR MERELY URGENT: an Eisenhower matrix separates the two — and shows what's allowed to wait • BEFORE YOU OVERCOMMIT: the Forecast adds up every day's hours and flags the ones where you've planned more than fits • SPEAK IT INSTEAD OF TYPING: say what's on your mind and DoTree turns it into a structured outline with dates and effort, on device, for you to review before anything is created • RECURRENCE THAT THINKS: fixed to a date even when things pile up, or starting over once you're done — weekdays, month days, multi-year rhythms • DATES THAT INHERIT: subtasks take start and due dates from above, with optional times • YOUR OWN ORDER: contexts with icons and colors, life areas, stars, and an idea store for everything that isn't a commitment yet • APPLE CALENDAR: task time spans appear as entries in dedicated DoTree calendars, and move along when your dates change • REMINDERS: push tasks to Apple Reminders and check them off on either side — done is done, everywhere • ATTACHMENTS: photos straight from the camera, voice notes, videos, files • BRING YOUR STUFF: import from MyLifeOrganized (XML), export everything as JSON whenever you like • EVERYWHERE YOU WORK: iPhone, iPad, and Mac — with a widget and optional Face ID lock YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No subscription, no ads, no analytics, no trackers. Your content lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud — we run no server and cannot read any of it. Dictation stays on your device by default, too. DoTree is free, and it stays free. Your plan. Your tree. Your data. DoTree is not affiliated with MyLifeOrganized.
