About

DWF View

Read full description

DWF View opens the drawings architects, engineers and contractors exchange as DWF, DWFx and DXF files - on Mac, iPad and iPhone, with no AutoCAD, no Design Review and no account. A DWF carries a whole set, sheet by sheet, exactly as it was plotted. DWF View keeps it that way: every sheet in a browser with thumbnails, faithful line weights, hatches, text and images, and the paper size and scale the drawing was issued at. Scanned pages inside a set open too. FREE - Open DWF, DWFx and DXF drawings, including multi-sheet sets - Sheet browser with thumbnails - Zoom, pan and rotate by gesture, trackpad or mouse - Open straight from Files, Finder, Mail or any app that shares a document - Check the digital signature of signed drawings (DWFx, .asics, .asice) DWF VIEW PRO - ONE PURCHASE, EVERY DEVICE - Measure distances, areas, angles, radii and counts, with snapping, in metric or imperial units - Scale read from the title block (1:100, 1/4" = 1'-0"), or calibrated against a known dimension - Mark up drawings: revision clouds, arrows, callouts, notes, highlights and freehand - Comments placed on the sheet, exported as a spreadsheet - Turn CAD layers on and off, and read the data behind each object - Compare two revisions and see what was added and removed - Search the text of every sheet - Several drawings open at once, in tabs - Rename and remove sheets, combine drawings, save as DWF or DWFx - Export and print: PDF at the drawing's real paper size, PDF/A for submissions, PNG, SVG and DXF Try every Pro feature free for 14 days. The trial is taken once, never renews and never charges; when it ends, opening and viewing drawings stays free. Pro is a single purchase with no subscription, shared by your Mac, iPad and iPhone through your Apple Account. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Drawings are converted and displayed on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and the app collects no data. In English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Korean. The translations of DWF View into other languages were prepared with the help of AI. If you spot a mistake, please tell us at hello@byn.pt.

About

Planometer

Read full description

Planometer is a planner that measures itself. Plan your day here — events, tasks, mail — and at the end of it see how much of the day you decided in advance, and how much simply happened to you. WHAT IT MEASURES Ā· The day's score — one number for the quality of your planning, not for your productivity. Ā· Reschedules — how often things move, and what they move off. Ā· Hours by marker — where the time actually went, under your own codes. Ā· How much of the day was in the plan before the day started. MAIL LIKE A MESSENGER One subject, one conversation. New mail at the bottom, your reply in the same place, quotes collapsed, attachments where you left them. Swipe a message to archive it, delete it or mark it read. Search runs across every connected mailbox, and letters carry the same markers your events and tasks use. AN ASSISTANT YOU CAN TYPE TO OR TALK TO Ask what the week looks like. Have a meeting moved, a task created, a letter turned into either. Get a reply drafted straight into the message box. It always proposes and you confirm — nothing is created, changed or sent behind your back. There is a live voice mode as well, switched on in settings when you want to plan the day out loud instead of typing. WHAT ELSE IS IN IT Ā· Your calendar in full: create, move, finish. Changes go back to your own Google or Apple calendar. Ā· Tasks, including repeating ones, with Apple Reminders kept in step. Ā· Markers — your own short codes on events, tasks and letters, so hours are counted by what they were spent on. Ā· A morning and an evening briefing, and a weekly review, written from your own week. WHAT IT WILL NOT DO Ā· It will not tell you to work more. The score is about planning, not effort — a quiet day planned in advance scores better than a full one improvised. Ā· It will not keep a second copy of your life. Everything is read from the calendar you already use. Ā· It will not decide anything behind your back: an event, a task or a letter goes out only after you confirm it. CREDITS The planner, the score, the calendar, the trends and the streaks are free. The AI parts — the briefings, the assistant, the voice mode, the mail drafts — cost credits. Every green day earns credits, and packs can be bought if you want more. There is no subscription.
