YaOweMe
Read full descriptionHide full description
Free. No ads. YaOweMe doesn't just keep track of money you owe others and money others owe you, YaOweMe facilitates agreement of a debt. Each participant must agree to the debt and does so through the app, signifying this with a digital signature. The messages are sent peer-to-peer, they are not stored on yaoweme.com. That's what you get with this app. No eye-catching graphics or cute sounds. Just solid functionality that encompasses all phases of a debt between two people. Since agreement is required on both ends, I wrote two different versions of this app to cover most smartphone users. YaOweMe has nothing to do with digital currency. YaOweMe does not facilitate any actual payment. YaOweMe just provides the messaging and tracking. YaOweMe transfers messages via a variety of wireless media, depending on what is available. yaoweme.com does not store or backup your information. It will only store your randomly generated ID and public key to ensure that the digital ID cannot be reused by someone else.

Quality inventory management is an important aspect to maintaining situational awareness during events. Track inventory that is issued, turned-in, and consumed during incidents and events with Salamander’s interoperable INVENTORY APP. Assure that your equipment is properly maintained and reported on from within the INVENTORY MANAGEMENT equipment database through SalamanderLive™. Issue mode: From a mobile device, the app user can scan a Salamander personnel TAG and then scan one-to-many equipment TAGs to assign equipment to that personnel. The fixed assets will decrement in SalamanderLive as they are assigned to show they are active in the field. Return mode: Equipment can be returned to your inventory by scanning the equipment TAG. When equipment is turned in, the quantity on-hand is incremented and reflected in SalamanderLive.
