One tool, every knob that matters. A recall works because the sound never changes. Yip gives you that consistency, then hands you the whole toolbox: a whistle you can tune to the hertz, a true recorded clicker, and cue patterns you author to the millisecond. Free general training guides ride along for when you want them — but the tools are the product. The multi-tool of training sound — honestly loud enough, and never louder. TUNE IT TO YOUR DOG - Four real whistle archetypes — crisp field pip, trial steady, rolling pea trill, gliding shepherd's lip — each playable live: touch and slide to blow. - A full tuner with three ways to dial a frequency: a focused scale, a fine fader, and a spinning dial. Bookmark the pitches that work. - A short A/B listen test helps you find the pitch your dog responds to; every dog keeps its own pitch, whistle, level, cues — even pronouns and age. - Nudge the base pitch mid-session, save per-dog presets, and set your working level under a hard safety cap. BUILD CUES, NOT JUST TONES - Author "three pips" or "one long blast" once — Yip replays it sample-accurately forever, with tone and gap timing down to the millisecond. - Record a whistle MOVE by how you play the on-screen whistle; it becomes a cue like any other. - Color-coded cue categories, favorites, and a configurable quickdial grid — plus an Apple Watch quickdial with a Double Tap gesture cue (on supported watches). A CLICKER THAT'S REALLY A CLICKER - An actual recorded trainer's clicker — press for click, lift for clack, with real mechanical timing. - Record your own clicker's true voice and give each dog its favorite. GUIDES ON THE SIDE, FREE - Optional, general training guidance that ships with the tools: short staged sessions (clicker first, whistle first, add the marker, or transfer from your brass whistle) and method articles in the Learn tab. - Use as much or as little as you like — the guides supplement the whistle and clicker and never gate them. Reward-based only, honest progress, sources cited in the app. No subscription, ever. HONEST BY DESIGN Phones can't produce true ultrasonic sound — so Yip never pretends to. It works in the band dogs hear most keenly, shows exactly what your device can produce, verifies tone accuracy, and caps output at a safe level you can't exceed. Dogs hear far more sensitively than we do; Yip is built for kind, reward-based training — never for annoying or harassing an animal. No account. No ads. No tracking. Works entirely offline. Bred for the field, at home in the city.

About

Spanlet

Read full description

See the time you have lived, on a scale you choose. Spanlet gives you three ways to view your life: a clear percentage, your current year of life, and a grid of weeks. Enter your birthday, choose a scale from 1 to 150 years, and find the view that works for you. You can change that scale at any time. THREE WAYS TO SEE TIME Switch between percentages, years, and weeks. See elapsed days alongside your chosen scale. The years view shows the year of life you are currently living. WIDGETS FOR EVERY DAY Add small or medium life progress widgets to your Home Screen. Choose circular, rectangular, or inline widgets for your Lock Screen. The app includes previews and instructions to help you add them. YOUR YEAR, ONE DAY AT A TIME The large year progress widget shows the current year's 365 or 366 days. Completed days are filled, and today is outlined. It works without a birthday and starts fresh each January. MAKE IT YOURS Choose Moss, Paper, or Dusk. Each theme supports light and dark appearances in the app and widgets. STORED ON YOUR DEVICE No account, ads, or third-party analytics. Your birthday and preferences are stored locally and shared only with the app's widgets on your device. The app works offline. You can edit or erase your local profile at any time. System backups depend on your device settings. Spanlet visualizes elapsed time. Your chosen scale is not a life expectancy prediction. The app does not use health data or send push notifications. Widget refresh timing is managed by iOS. For iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
