Fire Alarm Tech Toolkit is a field app for fire alarm technicians who need fast calculations, organized project records, service tracking, and professional reports while working on site. Bring everyday fire alarm tools into one place. Use DIP switch and rotary dial addressing, barcode and QR scanning, battery load calculations, battery date decoding, conduit fill calculations, resistor band references, and technician-focused utilities for service, inspection, troubleshooting, installation, and documentation. Create projects for buildings, panels, floors, and devices. Record device type, location, address, serial number, zone, status, notes, tags, and service dates. Track smoke and heat detectors, pull stations, duct detectors, notification appliances, modules, panels, annunciators, batteries, flow and tamper switches, extinguishers, and other fire protection assets. Service Mode helps technicians work through devices by project, floor, or asset type. Record completed service, dirty devices, trouble conditions, missing or replaced devices, inaccessible assets, extinguisher recharge or hydro requirements, and other field results. Site Notes keeps job details and observations organized with each project. NEW FIELD WORKFLOWS • Shared Scan lets one technician scan device barcodes while another technician receives and organizes the records. • Scan to Plan allows devices to be placed directly on an imported floor plan for faster mapping and documentation. • Barcode Sheet Printing creates printable barcode or QR code sheets for device labeling and field identification. The scanner captures serial numbers and QR codes with duplicate detection and can add scanned values directly to device records. Addressing tools can also send calculated values into records to reduce repeated typing. Generate project PDFs, floor reports, service reports, dirty device reports, extinguisher reports, status reports, CSV exports, and project summaries. Share reports through the device share sheet or create an expiring project link and QR code to transfer project data.

About

Quiet Wake

Features
Read full description

Quiet Wake is a gentle alarm clock built for people who don't want to be jolted awake. Instead of a piercing beep, your alarm starts near-silent and rises slowly to full volume over a window you choose — using real, calming music instead of a generic chime. Pick from 20 original wake tracks, or record a short greeting in your own voice to hear right as the fade-in finishes. RELIABLE BY DESIGN Quiet Wake never fails silently. Every alarm is scheduled directly with iOS the moment you set it, so it still rings even if the app was force-quit or your phone was restarted — no background app refresh, no battery-draining polling required. DESIGNED TO BE WOKEN UP TO, NOT STARTLED BY • Fade-in duration you control, from 1 to 15 minutes • 20 original wake-up tracks, with instant preview before you choose • A deliberate hold-to-dismiss gesture, so a half-asleep tap can't accidentally turn off your alarm • Snooze that keeps gently ringing until you actually wake up • A Home Screen widget showing your next alarm, with a one-tap way to turn it off • Four calming color themes • An optional spoken "good morning" after your alarm fades in — synthesized, or recorded in your own voice NO ACCOUNTS. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. Quiet Wake makes no network requests of any kind. There's nothing to sign up for, no analytics, no ads, and nothing about you or how you use the app is ever collected. Everything — your alarms, your settings, any custom greeting you record — stays on your device. FROM THE MAKERS OF QUIET MOMENTS Quiet Wake is built by the same team behind Quiet Moments, using the same original music and the same promise: an app that respects your privacy and your peace of mind. PRICING Quiet Wake is free to use with one alarm. Every new install also gets 3 days of unlimited alarms automatically — no payment method required. After that, unlock unlimited alarms for good with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.
