Seismodeck

Seismodeck walks a building through a four-step seismic response screening: Site, Structure, Spectrum, Results. The user enters the site class, the mapped short-period and one-second accelerations, the risk category, and the long-period transition. The structure step takes the lateral system, each story's height, effective weight, and lateral stiffness, and a fundamental period from the approximate formula or from the user's own analysis model. The spectrum step draws the design response spectrum with the building period marked and lists the site coefficients and corner periods; values from a site-specific study can replace the mapped ones. The results step reports the seismic response coefficient with the bound that governs it, base shear, the story force distribution, story shears, design story drift against the allowable limit, the P-delta stability coefficient, and a checklist of soft-story, extreme soft-story, weight, and procedural flags. A report tab renders the whole screening as a one-page PDF for sharing. Every screening is saved and listed with search, so an engineer keeps one entry per building and returns to it later. Three worked examples are included: a four-story concrete frame with a soft lobby story, a six-story braced frame with an analysis period above the cap, and a two-story wood library near a mapped fault. Duplicate any screening to try a stiffer story or a different system. Assumptions and limits are stated in the app and printed on the report. The method is the equivalent lateral force form with a 5% damped design spectrum at two-thirds of the MCE, metric period coefficients, story drift from the entered story stiffness, and no torsion, redundancy, or plan irregularity checks. It produces a screening estimate for the engineer's review. It is not a stamped design and does not replace an analysis by the engineer of record. Units are meters and kilonewtons. The app works without a network connection and keeps every entry in its own files.

Shortcut Launcher Widget turns your Home Screen into a highly customizable launchpad for the Shortcuts you already have. There are no other apps on the App Store that offer this kind of layout precision and customization. Powered by the new iOS 27 APIs, tapping a tile runs your shortcut completely in place without any screen flicker or app bouncing. Because you have total control over the layout, you can break past the usual limits. Want to easily fit 3, 4, or even 5 shortcuts on a small widget? You can dial in the perfect grid. Pick up to 64 shortcuts and they become a beautiful grid of named tiles. This app is all about letting you build the exact widget you want. ⢠Four widget sizes, including the new Extra Large full-page widget ⢠10 built-in color themes, or build your own custom look ⢠Five density presets from edge-to-edge to roomy, or dial in exact margins, spacing, and corner radius yourself ⢠Explicit column control: auto-fit, or pin 1, 2, 3, or more ⢠Three backgrounds: a solid theme color, the system's own material, or your own wallpaper blended in behind the widget ⢠Save multiple board presets and switch between them instantly No accounts. No network access. No analytics. No ads. Nothing to buy. It's a Home Screen tool, not a service.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Shortcut Launcher Widget at Free against Seismodeck's $0.99. Seismodeck's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 27.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
