Whatool turns an exported chat into something you can read and search, on your own device. In WhatsApp choose Export chat, then pick Whatool from the share sheet — it sits among the actions, in the bottom row. The .txt file and the .zip WhatsApp produces today are both read, and a chat file already on your device opens just as well. The whole history then becomes searchable: by word, by sender, by date. Jump to the day you are looking for instead of thumbing through years of messages. MERGE puts several conversations into one timeline, so a story told across three chats reads as one. Everything happens on your iPhone or iPad. Your messages are read and stored on the device, nothing is sent to a server, and Whatool works with no connection at all. Whatool also keeps what a messaging app does not. A phone you no longer own, a chat you cleared, someone you have lost: an export opened in Whatool stays readable years later. LINE exports are read too. Free, with optional purchases to remove the ads and lift the free limits. ----------------------------------- Disclaimer: app created by Luca Rubin.

The App aims to promote relaxation of tensed muscles. It has been observed in experiments that when tensed muscles are loosened many pains diminished specially in the lower limbs. The App is for use by club members only who will be given individual mantra in confidence. Two months after launch in the App Store new members will be invited via YouTube. The blue circle has calming effect while the mantra is for concentration so the mind does not wander to other thoughts. The state of relaxation is achieved by 20 to 30 minutes meditation. In a quiet dimly lit space the member who is seated will stare at the blue circle for two minutes. Then he will close his eyes and start chanting the mantra. Slowly the muscles will slacken. Results will vary. There is no political, religious or medical agenda involved. Disclaimer : This app is not intended for any kind of Medical treatment and is only for helping in better meditation. Please always take Doctor's advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.
