Everything you find becomes a card. Point your iPhone at a bird, a building, a mushroom or a plate of pasta. CollectAim names it, tells you how rare it is where you are, and turns it into a holographic card for your collection. • Identify almost anything: plants, animals, fungi, landmarks, art, food, vehicles, fashion, tech and everyday objects. • Real rarity: wild species are rated against public sighting records for your country, so a kingfisher feels special and a pigeon doesn't. • Open every find like a pack, with foils that shift as you tilt your phone. • Walk through your collection in 3D rooms, or flip through the album. • Weekly missions and country sets (birds, wild plants, butterflies, dishes, landmarks) give you something new to look for. • Not quite right? Suggest what it really is and CollectAim checks your answer against the photo. • Share a card video to your story and relive your month in a wrap. • Available in 11 languages. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your cards and photos stay on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. A photo is sent for identification only after you allow it, faces are covered first, and it isn't stored or used to train AI. COLLECTAIM PRO Unlimited discoveries, the discovery map with every card where you found it, the full story on every card and the rare tier of every set. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it's turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Identifications come from AI and can be wrong. Never use CollectAim to decide whether something is safe to eat or touch.

Bracelet Diary

Read full description

Every bracelet, knot by knot. Bracelet Diary is a calm, private home for your friendship bracelets. Design a pattern, follow it row by row while you knit, and keep a diary of every bracelet you finish, with its photos and the story behind it. DESIGN PATTERNS • Normal patterns, knot by knot: forward, backward and the two-way knots, with the color of every string worked out for you. • Alpha patterns, cell by cell, like pixel art. • Undo and redo, and rows to insert, copy or delete. • Pro tools: fill, mirror painting, replace a color everywhere, flip, turn, shift, make symmetric and repeat rows. SCAN A PATTERN FROM A PICTURE Have a screenshot or a photo of a pattern? Bracelet Diary reads its knots or cells and turns it into a pattern you can edit and knit. Anything it is unsure of is marked for you to check. KNIT WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE • Follow a pattern row by row, or mark knots one at a time. • Your place is saved: the row you are on, or every knot you have marked. Put your strings down and pick up where you left off. • See where every string is before each row. • The screen stays awake while you knit. • With Pro, see your pace and how long the rest will take. KEEP A DIARY • Every finished bracelet with its date, photos and a note: who it was for, what you would change next time. • Search your diary by name, note or year. • With Pro, statistics and monthly goals: what you made each month and year, your streaks and your favorite colors. YOUR THREAD BOX (PRO) Keep track of the floss you own: brand, number, color and how many skeins are left. Thread catalogs for the most widely used floss brands are built in, and you can add brands of your own. Link a pattern's colors to your threads and see which patterns use each one. ORGANIZE AND SHARE • Sort your patterns into lists of your own. • Filter by type, number of strings or number of colors. • Share a single pattern with a friend as a file. • Print a pattern or save it as a PDF (Pro). • Export your whole diary to one file and bring it to a new phone. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Big patterns get room to breathe on iPad. Light and dark themes follow your device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in, no ads. Your patterns, bracelets, notes and photos stay on your device. Only anonymous crash reports and usage counts leave it, and neither says who you are. FREE AND PRO Bracelet Diary is free to use, with room for 5 patterns, 2 bracelets in progress, 2 lists, 3 pattern scans and 1 photo per bracelet. Knitting, the diary, backups and sharing are always free. Bracelet Diary Pro removes every limit and adds the editor tools, statistics and goals, your pace, the thread box and printing. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple Account settings.
