Karui sorts every notification the moment it arrives. Spam stays silent; friends and one-time codes get through. You can even read unsent messages. And emergencies wake you up, even on silent. Already keep notifications off? You might be missing a friend changing plans or an important delivery. Turn them back on: Karui lets those through and keeps promos from the same apps silent. Already using Focus modes? Karui builds on top of Focus. It judges each message, not just the app it came from, lets your VIPs through from any app, not just Apple’s, and adds what Focus can’t do: • Wake Me: people you choose can ring an alarm in an emergency, even when your iPhone is silenced. It depends on the Karui Shortcut running, so don’t rely on it alone. • Auto Reply tells your VIPs you’re driving, in a meeting, or asleep, and that you’ll reply later. • Deadline reminders: when a message asks for something by a certain day, Karui reminds you the day before. • Several quick messages from one person arrive as one notification. • Notifications translated into your language. • Every app’s notifications in one searchable history. On your Mac too Karui for Mac, free at karui.jp/mac, improves filtering, clears alerts on your iPhone that you’ve already dealt with on your Mac, and keeps your iPhone quiet while you’re using your Mac. Setup Add the Karui Shortcut from a link. It takes about a minute and is all you need to read unsent messages. To filter spam, you also choose a Focus that keeps your other apps quiet. Karui guides you through both. Spam filtering and deadline reminders need Apple Intelligence; unsent messages work without it. Privacy Karui runs on your iPhone with Apple’s on-device model, so your notifications stay on your device. Private Cloud Sorting, which setup offers, sends a notification’s text to Apple’s Private Cloud Compute when the on-device model can’t sort it. No server, no account, zero analytics.

A little Korean word clock for your desk. Hangul Moment displays the time in Hangul with a retro flip clock. Read Korean time on your Lock Screen, or add a clock and daily calendar side by side in StandBy. • Three app themes: Cream, Mono, and Retro Green • A two-line Korean word clock for your Lock Screen • A Korean word clock and daily calendar for StandBy • Four widget looks: Cream, Mono, Retro Green Electronic, and Retro Green Dot • Adjust date, seconds, text size, dimming, flip animation, and sound • Portrait, landscape, and keep-awake while using the app The clock follows your iPhone's local time. Time and dates appear in Korean; menus and guides support English, Korean, and Japanese. All clock features work offline, with no in-app ads or account required. StandBy requires iOS 17 or later. Add the widgets yourself; iOS manages their update timing. “Share Usage Information” is off by default. Only when enabled, Firebase analyzes active clock time, five-active-minute milestones, themes, display settings, widget setup observed by the app, widget guide opens, and app opens through the widget URL. It is separate from advertising tracking and can be turned off at any time. Only if you allow tracking, Meta and TikTok receive data to measure advertising performance. Declining leaves all clock features available. Privacy policy: https://gring2.github.io/retro-korean-clock/en/#privacy Support: pjw6454@hotmail.com With usage sharing enabled, open the updated app once on your iPhone. Home Screen and StandBy clock/calendar widgets and the Lock Screen clock can then send activity signals through Supabase to Firebase during refreshes while the app is closed. The aim is one signal per app instance, UTC day, and widget type. These signals do not measure impressions, viewing time, or exact active user counts. You can turn sharing off at any time in settings.
