It needs no account, has no third-party SDKs, and keeps health data on the iPhone.","faq": [{"question": "What is AfterShift?", "answer": "AfterShift is an iPhone sleep and recovery app for shift workers. It measures your sleep over the window between shifts instead of midnight to midnight, builds your roster from a repeating rotation, imports sleep from Apple Health with naps included, and times wind-down, caffeine cut-off, and nap reminders to your next shift. Premium adds Readiness for your next shift, the Sleep Score, the Shift Recovery Score, and trends."},{"question": "Who is AfterShift for?", "answer": "Nurses and hospital staff, paramedics, firefighters, factory, logistics, and airport ground crews, hospitality and overnight staff, on-call workers, and anyone whose sleep window moves from week to week. If your roster repeats, from 4 on / 4 off to a DuPont-length 28-day cycle, AfterShift can hold it. Setup asks whether you work rotating shifts, a fixed schedule, or irregular and on-call hours."},{"question": "How is AfterShift different from OffShift, ShiftSleep, Timeshifter, or generic sleep apps?", "answer": "Generic sleep apps measure you against a night that starts at 11 p.m. AfterShift measures recovery shift to shift, fills your roster from a repeating rotation, and times its reminders and its \"Do this now\" steps to your next shift. There is no account, and your data stays on your iPhone. The comparison pages go app by app: OffShift, ShiftSleep, and Timeshifter."},{"question": "What is the Shift Recovery Score, and how is it calculated?", "answer": "The Shift Recovery Score is a 0 to 100 score for one sleep, shown in Recovery details with Premium. It weighs sleep duration (50%), continuity, meaning how unbroken the sleep was (30%), and the balance of sleep stages (20%). Readiness is the separate rating for your next shift: Low, OK, or Good, from the sleep you got between shifts against your sleep target. Both are custom heuristics, not medical assessments and not a diagnosis of Shift Work Disorder. The methodology page lists every input and weight."},{"question": "Why do naps count toward recovery in AfterShift?", "answer": "For shift workers, naps are part of the plan. A short nap before a night shift is one of the most common strategies in shift-work sleep guidance, because the main sleep window is often too short on its own. AfterShift imports naps from Apple Health and tags them as naps, and naps you log yourself, or time with the 25-minute nap timer, land in the same list. Readiness counts the sleep you got inside the window between shifts, naps included. Premium adds a Naps card to Recovery details."},{"question": "Does AfterShift help with Shift Work Disorder (SWSD)?", "answer": "AfterShift is an informational recovery tracker, not a treatment for Shift Work Disorder. SWSD is a circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder classified in the ICSD-3, and a sleep specialist should diagnose and treat it. AfterShift can help you see your own patterns, such as sleep debt building across cycles or caffeine late in the day, but if your schedule is badly affecting your sleep, talk to a clinician. The U.S. NIOSH shift work resources are a reasonable starting point."},{"question": "Which shift patterns does AfterShift support?", "answer": "Any pattern you can set up as a repeating rotation or add by hand. The presets are Three-shift rotation, 4 on / 4 off, 4 on / 3 off, 2 days / 2 nights, Panama (2-2-3), Fixed nights, and Fixed days. You can also build your own cycle of 1 to 28 days, which is long enough for a full DuPont (4 nights / 3 off / 3 days / 1 off / 3 nights / 3 off / 4 days / 7 off). AfterShift fills the next 8 weeks and keeps topping them up. Shift types take your own names and times, so 12-hour days and nights and swing shifts fit too. Calendar import can also detect shifts from your work calendar: free reads 1 calendar, 14 days ahead; Premium syncs several calendars automatically when you open the app."},{"question": "Does AfterShift give caffeine timing recommendations?", "answer": "It gives you a caffeine cut-off reminder timed to your next shift, so the cut-off moves when your shifts move. Log a coffee in one tap, or long-press for an espresso, an energy drink, tea, or something else, and the reminder adapts to how much caffeine you had and the caffeine sensitivity you set. Premium adds caffeine detail to each sleep in Recovery details."},{"question": "Does AfterShift give medical advice?", "answer": "No. AfterShift is a tool for tracking and planning recovery. It gives plain insights, not medical diagnoses or treatment recommendations, and its suggestions are labelled as suggestions, not prescriptions. If you suspect Shift Work Disorder, chronic insomnia, sleep apnea, or any other clinical sleep condition, see a sleep specialist."},{"question": "Is AfterShift free?", "answer": "Yes. Free covers repeating rotations and the roster, sleep import from Apple Health with naps included, Sleep Timing and Sleep Stages, the sleep-debt trend, the recovery plan, \"Do this now\" steps and 21 techniques, shift-timed reminders, the Lock Screen countdown and nap timer, Siri, four of the seven widgets, and calendar import from 1 calendar, 14 days ahead. Premium adds Readiness, the Sleep Score and Shift Recovery Score, Sleep Continuity, Trends, automatic sync from several calendars with overtime tracking, a preview of what a shift change does to your readiness, a PDF report, and explanations written on-device by Apple Intelligence (iOS 26 or later on a supported iPhone). It costs $3.99/month, $24.99/year, or $39.99 once, and the subscriptions start with a 7-day free trial. All three plans support Family Sharing. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Does AfterShift sell my health data?", "answer": "No. AfterShift has no ads, no third-party trackers, no analytics SDKs, and no servers to send data to. Your sleep, nap, and shift data stay on your iPhone, because there is no account and no cloud sync. Data leaves the device only if you export or share a report yourself."},{"question": "Does AfterShift sync between devices or work on iPad?", "answer": "No. AfterShift runs on iPhone only, and there is no account and no iCloud sync, so your data lives on one iPhone. Deleting the app deletes that data. A Premium purchase restores on any iPhone signed in with the same Apple ID."},{"question": "Do I need an Apple Watch?", "answer": "No. AfterShift has no Apple Watch app and does not need one, but it does need sleep in Apple Health, and an iPhone on its own records none. An Apple Watch or any sleep app that saves to Apple Health will do. You can also log naps in the app and log sleep by asking Siri. A source that records sleep stages adds the stage detail; without it, the stage part of the scores uses neutral defaults."},{"question": "Should I get morning light after a night shift, or block it?", "answer": "Both, at different times and for different goals. If you are staying on a night-shift schedule, block bright morning light on the commute home (sunglasses help) and sleep in a dark room, because bright light tells your circadian clock it is daytime and makes it harder to fall asleep. If you are switching back to day life, do the opposite and get bright light in the morning to phase-advance your clock. AfterShift's Coach tab has a short \"Light exposure basics\" reading. For the circadian science in full, sleep specialists and the U.S. NIOSH shift work resources cover light exposure timing in detail."},{"question": "What does sleep inertia have to do with shift work?", "answer": "Sleep inertia is the groggy, slowed-reaction state in the first 15 to 30 minutes after waking. For shift workers it matters in two places. (1) Waking from a long, deep nap mid-shift can leave inertia bad enough that the nap costs more than it gives; AfterShift's Lock Screen nap timer runs for 25 minutes. (2) The start of a night shift after daytime sleep often comes with leftover inertia that feels like fatigue. Telling the two apart helps when you are deciding whether you need caffeine or just fifteen minutes."},{"question": "Does it matter if I'm a morning person or a night owl for shift work?", "answer": "Yes. Your chronotype is one of the biggest predictors of how hard rotating and night shifts will hit you. Strong morning types (larks) struggle more with permanent night shifts because their circadian system resists the phase shift; strong evening types (owls) usually adapt better to nights but pay for it on early-morning rotations. Most people sit in the middle. AfterShift does not ask you to label yourself; it works from the sleep you actually get around your shifts. If you want a formal read on yours, sleep researchers use two validated tools: the MEQ (Horne-Östberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire) and the MCTQ (Munich ChronoType Questionnaire)."},{"question": "Should I take melatonin for shift work? Does AfterShift recommend supplements?", "answer": "AfterShift does not give supplement recommendations; that conversation belongs with a clinician or pharmacist. What we can fairly say from the literature: low-dose melatonin (0.3 to 3 mg) taken at the start of your intended sleep window is the use sleep researchers most often discuss for shift workers. It works as a circadian phase-shifter as much as a sedative, so when you take it matters more than how much. Higher doses are not better and increase next-day grogginess in some people. Melatonin sold in the U.S. is unregulated and its doses are labelled inconsistently. The U.S. NIOSH shift work module and the AASM's clinical guidance both cover melatonin timing for shift workers in more depth. Talk to your clinician before starting any supplement."},{"question": "What are sleep latency and sleep efficiency, and does AfterShift track them?", "answer": "Sleep latency is how long it takes you to fall asleep after lights-out; sleep efficiency is the percentage of time in bed actually spent asleep. Both are standard metrics in sleep science. For shift workers, both usually get worse with daytime sleep: bright daylight, noise, and a circadian system still saying \"this is the wrong time\" push latency up and efficiency down. AfterShift does not measure sleep latency. When Apple Health has separate in-bed and asleep data, AfterShift shows sleep efficiency in Sleep Timing, and with Premium it feeds the Sleep Score. A chronically low efficiency on daytime sleep usually points to the sleep environment (light, noise, a partner's schedule) more than a number to chase."},{"question": "What is social jet lag, and does it matter for shift workers?", "answer": "Social jet lag is the term sleep researchers use for the gap between your biologically preferred sleep timing and the schedule your work or social life imposes. Most people feel some of it on Monday mornings after a freer weekend. For shift workers the mechanism is the same but much larger: a permanent night-shift nurse who spends days off with a family that sleeps at night is in effect flying across time zones every weekend. AfterShift does not measure social jet lag. Its sleep-debt trend shows, cycle by cycle, whether your debt is building, stable, or recovering. Researchers use the MCTQ (Munich ChronoType Questionnaire) to quantify social jet lag if you want a formal read."}],

You add bills, subscriptions, and contracts by hand; AllPaid reminds you at 9:00 before each due date, lets you mark a bill paid from the notification, and reminds you before a contract ends. It also has ten widgets, Siri, App Lock with Face ID, and a spending overview. It is free for up to 3 bills; Pro costs $1.99/month, $12.99/year, or $24.99 once."},{"question": "Does AllPaid fill in bills automatically?", "answer": "Partly. AllPaid never reads your bank, so it can't find bills on its own; you add each one by hand. When you type a familiar name such as Netflix, it suggests the category and how often the bill repeats, and you tap Apply to use them. Popular providers also show their real logo. The amount is optional, so you can add a bill even when it changes from month to month."},{"question": "How is AllPaid different from Rocket Money?", "answer": "Rocket Money connects to your bank, detects subscriptions from your transaction history, and offers a paid negotiation service that takes a percentage of any savings it finds. AllPaid does none of that. You add bills yourself, nothing leaves your iPhone unless you turn on iCloud Sync, and AllPaid is free for 3 bills with a one-time lifetime option for Pro. If automatic detection from transactions matters more to you than privacy, Rocket Money fits better. If you would rather not give your bank login to a third-party app, AllPaid is the better choice. The full Rocket Money alternative comparison goes through it line by line."},{"question": "Can AllPaid remind me before a contract renews?", "answer": "Yes. Turn on Track contract end date for a bill and add the start and end dates, whether it auto-renews, and the renewal amount. AllPaid reminds you at 10:00 before the end date, and the list shows contracts ending soon. If you renew, Mark as renewed keeps the old period under Past Renewals and moves the end date forward. Free allows one reminder per contract; Pro allows several."},{"question": "Does AllPaid catch free trials before they auto-renew?", "answer": "Only the ones you enter. AllPaid does not scan your email or transactions, so it can't find a trial you signed up for and forgot. Add the trial as a bill due on the day it converts, or as a contract that ends that day, and AllPaid reminds you before the date."},{"question": "Does AllPaid show my bills on a calendar?", "answer": "Yes. The Monthly Calendar widget shows all of the month's bills on your Home Screen, and the monthly summary in the app lists the month's bills and totals. Free shows the current month; with Pro you can step through past and future months."},{"question": "Is AllPaid a budgeting app?", "answer": "No. AllPaid covers bill tracking, subscriptions, contracts, and payment reminders. It does not do full budgeting, income tracking, or transaction categorization. If you want full budgeting, YNAB, Monarch Money, or Copilot are better fits."},{"question": "Is AllPaid free?", "answer": "Yes. Free tracks up to 3 bills with a reminder the day before each one, contract end dates, the spending overview, all ten widgets, Siri, and App Lock. Saving a fourth bill opens the Pro screen. Pro unlocks unlimited bills, several reminders per bill plus due-day reminders, Spending Analytics, full payment history, up to 50 attachments per bill, and iCloud Sync for $1.99/month, $12.99/year, or $24.99 once. If your Apple Account is eligible, the monthly plan starts with a 3-day free trial and the yearly plan with a 7-day free trial. One Pro purchase covers up to 5 family members through Family Sharing. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Does AllPaid work with Siri and widgets?", "answer": "Yes.

AllPaid has ten Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including Next Bill, Monthly Calendar, Coming Up, and Contracts, with extra-large layouts on iOS 27. Widgets open the app; they can't mark a bill paid."},{"question": "Does AllPaid work on iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch?", "answer": "No. AllPaid is an iPhone app and needs iOS 17 or later. There is no iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch version."},{"question": "Does AllPaid share my financial data?", "answer": "No. AllPaid has no server of its own to upload to, never connects to a bank, and carries no analytics, ad, or third-party SDKs. You don't create an account to use it. Your bills stay on your iPhone or, if you turn on iCloud Sync (Pro), in your own private iCloud, which we can't access. App Lock can require Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to open the app. The transparency page has the full breakdown."},{"question": "Can I share bills with someone?", "answer": "You can send one. Share bill opens the iOS share sheet with a short message about the bill and when it's due, which works for reminding a partner or flatmate about rent or internet. The other person doesn't get access to your bills, and AllPaid has no shared household account."},{"question": "Can I export my bills?", "answer": "No. AllPaid has no CSV, PDF, or calendar export.

},"faq": [{"question": "What is AppMeta Pulse?", "answer": "AppMeta Pulse is an iPhone app that shows your App Store sales, subscriptions, and reviews from App Store Connect. It covers proceeds or sales, units, MRR, subscribers, trials, churn, and the App Store funnel for every app you sell, keeps your sales history on your iPhone after Apple's one-year window has passed, and lets you reply to reviews. It has 12 Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. It can't change your prices, builds, or metadata."},{"question": "How far back does AppMeta Pulse keep my sales history?", "answer": "From the first day it fetches, for as long as you keep it. App Store Connect serves about the last 365 days of daily sales, so on first connect AppMeta Pulse fetches what Apple still has and then stores every new day on your iPhone. History is cleared only when you delete it or sign out. Year-over-year comparison appears once a full prior-year window is stored; until then Trends tells you the month it becomes available. Downloads per year can reach back further, up to 10 years, because they come from Apple's yearly reports."},{"question": "How is AppMeta Pulse different from AppStats, App Sales, or Appfigures?", "answer": "The comparison pages go app by app: AppStats, App Sales - Store Reports, and Appfigures. What AppMeta Pulse brings to that comparison: sales history kept on your iPhone past Apple's one-year window, review replies with on-device Apple Intelligence drafts and bulk reply for up to 25 reviews, 12 widgets including four for the week's or month's pace, and no server of ours between your iPhone and Apple."},{"question": "How is AppMeta Pulse different from the official App Store Connect app?", "answer": "Apple's App Store Connect app is for running your account. AppMeta Pulse is for following the business: it keeps your sales history after Apple's one-year window has passed, compares this year with last year, puts proceeds, subscriptions, and pace on 12 widgets, and drafts review replies on the device. It can't change your prices, builds, or metadata. The only things it sends to App Store Connect are the review replies you write and the analytics report requests Apple needs. The full comparison goes feature by feature."},{"question": "What's the difference between sales and proceeds in App Store Connect?", "answer": "Sales is the gross amount customers paid before Apple's commission. Proceeds is what Apple owes you after its 15% (Small Business Program) or 30% (standard) cut and any VAT or sales tax it collects. The payment that reaches your bank can still differ from your proceeds, because of currency conversion, withholding tax, and bank fees. In AppMeta Pulse, the Show Amount setting switches every figure between proceeds and sales. See Apple's reference on units, proceeds, and sales for the official definitions."},{"question": "Does AppMeta Pulse use the App Store Connect API or the web dashboard?", "answer": "The official App Store Connect API. You create an API key with the Admin role in App Store Connect under Users and Access, Integrations, download the .p8 private key, and add the key file, Key ID, and Issuer ID to AppMeta Pulse, along with your Vendor Number for the sales reports. The key is stored in this iPhone's Keychain. AppMeta Pulse never reads the web dashboard. See the API access page for the exact endpoints, the role the key needs, and how the tokens are signed."},{"question": "What permissions does AppMeta Pulse request on my App Store Connect account?", "answer": "An API key with the Admin role, the role that can read sales reports; App Manager and Developer keys get a 403 error from Apple. AppMeta Pulse uses the key to read your sales and subscription reports, your app list, App Store analytics, and customer reviews. The only things it writes are the review replies you choose to send, edit, or delete, and the analytics report requests Apple needs before it prepares impressions data. It can't change your prices, builds, or metadata. You can revoke the key in App Store Connect at any time. The API access page maps each role to its endpoints."},{"question": "How fresh is the data? Is it real-time?", "answer": "As fresh as Apple makes it. Apple publishes each day's sales report the following day, and App Store analytics such as impressions arrive about two days later. AppMeta Pulse refreshes in the background about once an hour, with iOS deciding the exact timing, and again when you open the app. The widgets update after each sync. It can't get Apple's data any faster than Apple publishes it, and the Dashboard footer shows whether each source is up to date."},{"question": "Can AppMeta Pulse draft replies to App Store reviews?", "answer": "Yes, on iOS 26 or later with Apple Intelligence on a supported iPhone. The reply composer offers two drafts written on the device, one apologetic and technical, one empathetic and supportive, and you edit and send. Drafts are in English. On any iPhone you can write replies yourself, insert a saved template, translate a foreign-language review on the device (iOS 18 or later), and answer up to 25 unanswered reviews at once with a template, a draft per review, or the same text. Nothing is posted until you send it."},{"question": "Can I see revenue by country?", "answer": "Yes. Each app's detail view lists its top five territories, and Trends shows the top eight countries for one app on sales or proceeds. Country detail is kept for 456 days; daily totals are kept in full. The figures come from Apple's daily sales reports, so reconcile payouts against the monthly financial reports in App Store Connect."},{"question": "Is AppMeta Pulse safe for my credentials?", "answer": "The .p8 key and Key ID are stored in this iPhone's Keychain, available only on this device, and they never sync, even with iCloud Sync on. Requests go over HTTPS straight to Apple's API; nothing passes through a Lagerland Apps server. You can revoke the key in App Store Connect at any time."},{"question": "Can I accidentally change app settings?", "answer": "No. AppMeta Pulse can't change your prices, builds, or metadata, and it has no buttons for them. The one thing you can change is a review reply: you write it, tap send, and can edit or delete it later."},{"question": "Is AppMeta Pulse free?", "answer": "The download is free and opens a demo with five sample apps, for up to 3 days of use. To see your own numbers you need Pro at $0.99/month or $1.99/year, each starting with a 7-day free trial, or Lifetime at $2.99 once. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Does it support multiple apps?", "answer": "Yes. AppMeta Pulse shows every app in your App Store Connect account, and you choose which ones it tracks. The Apps tab compares them side by side, and each app has its own chart, top territories, and reviews. If you work with more than one App Store Connect account, add each one and switch between them."},{"question": "Does AppMeta Pulse send notifications when a sale comes in?", "answer": "No. AppMeta Pulse sends no notifications. To see sales without opening the app, add a widget: the Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets refresh about once an hour during the day and after each sync."},{"question": "Does AppMeta Pulse work on iPad or Mac?", "answer": "No. AppMeta Pulse runs on iPhone only and needs iOS 17 or later. With iCloud Sync on, a second iPhone signed in to the same Apple Account can show your numbers without the API key stored on it."},{"question": "Which languages is AppMeta Pulse available in?", "answer": "English plus 17 languages: German, French (France and Canada), Spanish (Spain and Mexico), Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). The widgets and Siri phrases are translated too. Reply drafts from Apple Intelligence are in English."},{"question": "Who is AppMeta Pulse for?", "answer": "Indie developers and small studios who sell apps or subscriptions on the App Store and want their numbers, their history, and their reviews on the iPhone. It needs an App Store Connect API key with the Admin role. It pays off most when you sell several apps and want them on one screen."},{"question": "Does AppMeta Pulse collect any data?", "answer": "No. AppMeta Pulse has no server of its own, no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and no advertising identifier. App Store Connect requests go from your iPhone to Apple, app icons come from Apple's lookup service, and exchange rates come from the European Central Bank. Reply drafts, sentiment, and translation run on the device. With iCloud Sync on, your data is also stored in your own private iCloud database, which we can't access."}],

It edits every locale in one window, shows a field-level diff against the live listing before you push, and measures keyword difficulty and demand against the live App Store with the evidence shown. In-App Purchases, subscriptions, TestFlight, Game Center, reviews, submission, sales, and diagnostics are in the same app. It runs on macOS 14 or later and talks straight to Apple with your API key kept in the Mac Keychain. Demo Mode is free; connecting your account needs Pro at $17.99/year or $29.99 lifetime."},{"question": "Is AppMeta an alternative to App Store Connect?", "answer": "AppMeta works alongside App Store Connect through Apple's App Store Connect API. It is a faster place to do the editing: every locale in one window, one field across all locales, and a diff against the live listing before a push. Nothing is scraped from the website, and there is no AppMeta server in between. A few things still need App Store Connect itself, such as App Privacy details, Game Center images, and adding TestFlight testers. AppMeta is a third-party developer tool and is not affiliated with Apple."},{"question": "How is AppMeta different from Fastlane deliver?", "answer": "Fastlane deliver is a CLI tool for CI/CD pipelines. It works well when you want metadata in version control and automatic uploads on every release. AppMeta is a desktop tool for interactive editing: every locale of a field visible at once, a diff against the live value before a push, keyword research, review replies, and In-App Purchase and Game Center editing. The two work together: keep Fastlane deliver in your release pipeline and use AppMeta for hand edits."},{"question": "How is AppMeta different from Itsyconnect?", "answer": "Itsyconnect is a good App Store Connect client for the Mac, and it's free and MIT-licensed, built on Electron with a self-hosted Docker option. AppMeta is a native Mac app at $17.99/year or $29.99 lifetime. The main difference is scope. AppMeta creates and edits In-App Purchases, subscriptions, and Subscription Groups, and Game Center (Achievements, Leaderboards, Leaderboard Sets), with localized text; Itsyconnect doesn't cover any of those. AppMeta can run its AI with Apple Intelligence on your Mac (macOS 26 on a supported Mac) or a local model, while Itsyconnect offers six cloud providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, DeepSeek). Itsyconnect has an MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode and a wider analytics view; AppMeta has no MCP server. If you don't sell IAPs or use Game Center, or you want free, open source, or MCP, pick Itsyconnect. If you monetize through in-app purchases, ship Game Center content, or want on-device AI, pick AppMeta. The full comparison is on the Itsyconnect alternative page."},{"question": "How is AppMeta different from NativeConnect?", "answer": "NativeConnect was a native Mac client for App Store Connect in the same shape as AppMeta. It was pulled from the Mac App Store in 2020 and hasn't been available since, so it isn't a current option. AppMeta is a native Mac client in that category, built on the App Store Connect API for macOS 14 or later, and it is updated regularly."},{"question": "How is AppMeta different from AppMetaHub and ASO.dev?", "answer": "AppMetaHub and ASO.dev are subscription tools. AppMetaHub is a web app with a monthly Indie plan. ASO.dev has apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Linux, and Android and is priced per seat, billed yearly. AppMeta is a native Mac app at $17.99/year or $29.99 lifetime. They give you a browser or more platforms, team seats, and (for ASO.dev) rank tracking. AppMeta gives you a native Mac app, edits kept on your Mac until you push, Game Center editing, and a lifetime option. AppMeta also manages more locales than AppMetaHub did in May 2026 (50 vs 37)."},{"question": "Which AI providers does AppMeta support?", "answer": "Five: Apple Intelligence on your Mac (macOS 26 on a Mac that supports it, no key), Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and Google Gemini with your own API key, and any OpenAI-compatible server such as Ollama or LM Studio (no key needed). You pick the provider in Settings and pay it directly; AppMeta sells no AI usage. With a cloud provider, the text you translate or analyze goes from your Mac to that provider. With Apple Intelligence, it stays on your Mac."},{"question": "Does AppMeta need an AI API key to work?", "answer": "No. The listing editor, diff, push, and keyword health checks (wasted characters, duplicates, overlaps, storefront coverage) work without AI. Live difficulty and demand come from the App Store and need no AI key either. AI translation and keyword suggestions are optional and need Apple Intelligence, your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google key, or a local model."},{"question": "Is AppMeta safe? Where do my App Store Connect credentials go?", "answer": "AppMeta uses Apple's App Store Connect API, with no app-specific password and no browser session. You create a team API key in App Store Connect (Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API) and enter the Issuer ID, Key ID, and .p8 file in AppMeta once. All three are stored in the Mac Keychain as items for that Mac only, not synced to iCloud. AppMeta signs short-lived tokens on your Mac, and the .p8 never leaves it. There is no AppMeta server. Other requests go to Apple's public App Store endpoints for keyword research (if you turn it on), Apple Ads (if you connect it), the European Central Bank for exchange rates, and your AI provider (if you add one). See the per-app Privacy Manifest on the transparency page for the declared API usage."},{"question": "Is AppMeta free?", "answer": "AppMeta is free to download and runs Demo Mode: every screen with sample apps, locales, keywords, IAPs, reviews, and sales, no account needed. Writes are disabled in Demo Mode. Connecting your own App Store Connect account needs Pro: $17.99/year, starting with a 3-day free trial, or $29.99 lifetime as a one-time purchase. Demo Mode lets you try every screen before you buy. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Can I submit apps for review through AppMeta?", "answer": "Yes. Attach a build, add the version for review, and manage phased release for the iOS version. The Submission tab checks App Review Info, Content Rights, Categories, Pricing, Availability, Age Rating, License Agreement, Privacy, and Copyright. App Privacy details are read-only in AppMeta, with a link to App Store Connect. Add for Review submits right away, without a confirmation step. Builds themselves are uploaded with Xcode, Transporter, or fastlane."},{"question": "How many App Store Connect locales does AppMeta support?", "answer": "AppMeta manages all 50 App Store Connect locale codes, from ar-SA to zh-Hant. You can sort them alphabetically the way App Store Connect does, by locale code, or in your own order, and add a locale to a version from the app."},{"question": "Does AppMeta manage In-App Purchases, subscriptions, and Game Center?", "answer": "Yes. Create and edit in-app purchases, subscription groups, and auto-renewing subscriptions, with localized names and descriptions, prices, territory availability, introductory offers, and review screenshots. Prices, offers, availability, and review screenshots save to App Store Connect as soon as you set them; metadata goes through push. Game Center covers Achievements, Leaderboards, and Leaderboard Sets with localized text. Game Center images and leaderboard releases stay in App Store Connect."},{"question": "Will AppMeta replace Appfigures, AppTweak, or Sensor Tower?", "answer": "No, they do different jobs. AppMeta is a metadata editor and release client for the App Store Connect API. It estimates difficulty and demand for the keywords you check, but it doesn't track rankings over time or research competitors' keywords.

},"faq": [{"question": "What is Chessful?", "answer": "Chessful is a chess training and game analysis app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Stockfish checks every move of your games on the device, each mistake is explained in plain language at your level, and your mistakes become the puzzles in your daily training. It also includes 156 lessons, 15,000 puzzles in 53 themes, 96 endgames to play out, an opening repertoire built from your games, and 40 opponents from 400 to 2400 Elo."},{"question": "Can I import my games from Chess.com or Lichess?", "answer": "Yes, as PGN files. Export your games from Chess.com or Lichess, then open the file in Chessful from Files, iCloud Drive, or AirDrop, or paste the PGN text. One import takes up to 500 games, flags duplicates, and lets you pick which side you played. Chessful doesn't connect to either site or fetch games by username. Importing is unlimited; analysing imported games counts toward the free 2 analyses a day."},{"question": "Is Chessful good for beginners?", "answer": "Yes. The Learn tab has 156 free lessons in seven sections, starting with the board itself and the way the pieces move, then checkmates, tactics, openings, endgames, thinking, and strategy. Set your coaching level to \"Just learning the rules\" and the mistake explanations are worded for that level. Players who already know the rules can go straight to playing and analysing games."},{"question": "Does Chessful have chess puzzles?", "answer": "Yes, two kinds. The tactics library has 15,000 puzzles in 53 themes, from forks and pins to named checkmate patterns, drawn from the Lichess open puzzle database and checked with an engine. Today's Training adds puzzles built from the mistakes in your own games. Free players get 3 puzzles a day across both; reviewing past mistakes doesn't count toward that. Premium is unlimited."},{"question": "How is Chessful different from Chess.com or Lichess?", "answer": "Chess.com and Lichess are online platforms built around playing other people. Chessful is a training app: you play its 40 built-in opponents or import your games from either site as PGN, Stockfish analyses them on your device, every mistake is explained in words, and your training is built from those mistakes. There is no account. Chessful has no online play, so you can keep your Chess.com or Lichess account for games against people and use Chessful to review those games."},{"question": "How is Chessful different from Magnus Trainer?", "answer": "Magnus Trainer teaches through courses and games built around Magnus Carlsen. Chessful has no celebrity content. It analyses your own games, explains each mistake, and builds your training from them, alongside 156 lessons, 15,000 puzzles, and 96 endgames."},{"question": "How is Chessful different from Chessis?", "answer": "Both analyse games with Stockfish on the device and explain mistakes in sentences. Chessful adds the training around the analysis: daily sessions built from your mistakes, spaced review of misses, 156 lessons, 15,000 puzzles, 96 endgames, and 40 opponents to play, with one Universal Purchase across iPhone, iPad, and Mac."},{"question": "Does Chessful work offline?", "answer": "Yes, for everything you do with chess. Playing, Stockfish analysis, lessons, the puzzle library, endgames, and openings all run on bundled content and a bundled engine. Buying or restoring Premium, loading prices, and Game Center need a connection."},{"question": "What chess engine does Chessful use?", "answer": "Stockfish, with NNUE, compiled into the app. It runs on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Game Review evaluates every move of your game, and the endgame trainer uses Stockfish at full strength as your opponent. Chessful then explains each mistake in plain language."},{"question": "Is Chessful free? What does Premium cost?", "answer": "Chessful is free to download with daily limits: 2 game analyses, 3 puzzles, and 2 coach hints a day, the first 10 opponents, and the first endgame in each category. All 156 lessons, every mistake explanation, PGN import, and progress tracking are free. Premium removes the daily limits and unlocks all 40 opponents, all 96 endgames, the full opening repertoire with line drills, and Weekly Comparison and Weakness Trends. It costs $2.99/month or $17.99/year, each with a 7-day free trial, or $29.99 once for lifetime access. Family Sharing is included. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Does Chessful track my improvement?", "answer": "Yes. Progress shows an estimated rating, a rating graph, game stats, five skill bars (Tactics, Defense, Positioning, Endgame, and Openings), an activity view, and 59 achievements, all free. Premium adds Weekly Comparison and Weakness Trends. The rating is Chessful's own estimate, separate from FIDE, Chess.com, or Lichess ratings."},{"question": "Does Chessful need an account?", "answer": "No. There is no sign-up and no Chessful account. Your games, analysis, and training history are stored on your device. Game Center is optional, and purchases go through your Apple Account."},{"question": "Do my games sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac?", "answer": "No. Each device keeps its own games and progress, and Chessful has no iCloud sync. Your Premium purchase does carry over: Universal Purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and Restore Purchases brings it back on any device signed in with the same Apple Account."},{"question": "Is Chessful a replacement for Chess.com or Lichess?", "answer": "Not for playing people. Chessful has no online play, matchmaking, or clocks; every game is against its built-in opponents. It is for reviewing and training: import your Chess.com or Lichess games as PGN, see each mistake explained, and practise on them."},{"question": "Does Chessful work on Apple Watch or Apple Vision Pro?", "answer": "No. Chessful runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Apple silicon only, not Intel Macs), with one Universal Purchase covering all three."},{"question": "What languages is Chessful available in?", "answer": "Chessful ships in 32 languages (38 locales counting regional variants such as UK English, Mexican Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese), lessons included. Pick the language for Chessful in iOS Settings, or in System Settings on a Mac."}],

Below 50% everything stays locked, and the day resets at midnight."},{"question": "Does EarnLock work on Apple Watch?", "answer": "Yes, with Premium. The Watch app reads its own Health data and shows your ring, your count, and how far you are from unlocking, plus a Reflect button. Complications come in circular, corner, inline, and rectangular styles. Without Premium the Watch app shows a locked state. The iPhone is still the device that locks and unlocks your apps, and it passes your Premium status to the watch."},{"question": "What if I genuinely need to use a blocked app for something urgent?", "answer": "Use the emergency unlock in Settings.

In Settings, Data & privacy, Export builds one file with your goal, streak and daily records, reflection log, schedules, and notification settings; Apple Health samples stay in Apple Health. Delete all data asks you to type DELETE, then erases what EarnLock stores and removes its locks."},{"question": "Can EarnLock be used as parental control?", "answer": "No. EarnLock is built for limiting your own iPhone. There is no parent side to it: nothing to manage remotely and no passcode for someone else to hold. For a child's device, use Screen Time with Family Sharing in iOS Settings."},{"question": "What devices does EarnLock support?", "answer": "iPhone with iOS 17 or later, in portrait. The Premium Apple Watch app needs watchOS 10 or later. The Control Center control needs iOS 18, and full-page widgets need iOS 27. EarnLock needs Apple Health and Screen Time access to work. There is no iPad, Mac, or Android version."},{"question": "Does EarnLock support Family Sharing?", "answer": "Yes. Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime all support Family Sharing, so the members of your Apple family group can use Premium too. Each person's goals, locked apps, and streaks stay on their own iPhone."},{"question": "Is Lifetime really a one-time payment?", "answer": "Yes. Lifetime is one payment of $19.99 with no renewal, and it restores through your Apple Account if you move to a new iPhone. The App Store shows the price before you confirm."},{"question": "How accurate is the screen-time-saved estimate?", "answer": "It's an estimate, and the card says so. iOS doesn't let apps read your real per-app Screen Time, so EarnLock counts what it can see: each time a locked app stops you. It multiplies those attempts by 9 minutes."}],

It has 1,500 exercises (animated demos with Pro) and runs in 40 languages. The core is free; Pro is $1.99/month or $17.99/year, each starting with a 7-day free trial, or $39.99 once."},{"question": "How is GymLogger X different from Strong, Hevy, and Fitbod?", "answer": "GymLogger X needs no account; when we checked on 2026-05-13, Strong, Hevy, and Fitbod all asked you to sign up. Its Apple Watch app is free and has a rest timer that can tell you when your heart rate has recovered. Pro comes as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. And its coaching is rule-based and worked out on your iPhone from your own logs, with no chat bot. The comparison pages go into detail: Strong and Fitbod."},{"question": "What is the Smart Program Creator?", "answer": "It is a wizard that builds a program from your equipment, goals, injuries, schedule, and preferences. You pick a split (full body, upper/lower, push/pull/legs, push/pull, Arnold, or bro split), days per week, session length, a length of 4, 8, or 12 weeks or ongoing, and linear, undulating, block, or wave periodization. Injuries are entered by body part, with movements to avoid. The preview shows deload weeks, a prehab warm-up, and injury accommodations, and you can swap an exercise or regenerate before you start. It is free to use; free users keep one program at a time."},{"question": "Does GymLogger X support RPE and RIR?", "answer": "Not when you log. A logged set records weight and reps, plus whether it was a warm-up; there is no per-set RPE or RIR entry, and the analytics, plateau status included, work from weight and reps. RPE and RIR, explained covers what that means if you rate every set."},{"question": "Does GymLogger X calculate Wilks, DOTS, or Sinclair?", "answer": "No. GymLogger X doesn't calculate Wilks, DOTS, or Sinclair scores. It estimates 1RM for every lift with the Epley formula, keeps a Rep-Max table and your personal records, and has a plate calculator for loading the bar."},{"question": "Does GymLogger X work on Apple Watch without the iPhone?", "answer": "No. The Apple Watch app is a companion: you start the workout on your iPhone, and sets you log on the watch go through the phone. On the wrist you log weight and reps, see heart rate, time, and calories, and run the rest timer. Heart rate and calories need Health permission on the watch."},{"question": "How does plateau detection work?", "answer": "GymLogger X estimates your 1RM for each exercise with the Epley formula, from sets of 3 or more reps, and follows the trend across your sessions. With Pro, Strength Progress gives each lift a status (Plateau, Watching, or Plateau Predicted) and an overload score, and the Next Move card turns that into a suggestion such as a rest day or a change of approach. It all runs on your iPhone by fixed rules. It doesn't change your program or send notifications; you decide what to do."},{"question": "Is GymLogger X free? What does Pro unlock?", "answer": "Logging is free for good: unlimited workouts on iPhone and Apple Watch, the Heart Rate Rest Timer, 1,500 exercises, one program at a time (6 free programs, your own, or one from the Smart Program Creator), 3 templates, the last 30 days of history, Apple Health export, and iCloud sync. Pro unlocks all 44 programs, unlimited programs and templates, your full history, Insights, recovery and plateau signals, the muscle heatmap, animated demos, custom exercises, CSV import, every widget, and 8 color themes. Pro is $1.99/month or $17.99/year, each starting with a 7-day free trial, or $39.99 once, and it supports Family Sharing. Prices are in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "What happens to my program if my Pro subscription ends?", "answer": "If you started a Pro program while subscribed, you can finish it after the subscription ends. Free limits apply to everything else: one active program, 3 templates, and the last 30 days of history, with older sessions kept and unlocked again when you upgrade."},{"question": "Does GymLogger X need an account or internet connection?", "answer": "No. There is no account and no sign-up, and logging works fully offline, exercise demos included. Workouts are stored on your iPhone and synced through your own private iCloud when you're signed in to iCloud, and finished workouts are saved to Apple Health. The app has no server of its own, so your workouts are never sent to us."},{"question": "Can I export my data if I leave?", "answer": "There is no file export. Each finished workout is saved to Apple Health as a strength training session, any workout can be shared as text, and the recap and Weekly Summary can be shared as images. Coming from another app or a spreadsheet? Pro imports workouts from CSV, TSV, or TXT files, with a column-mapping step."},{"question": "What if my exercise isn't in the 1,500-exercise library?", "answer": "Create it with Pro. A custom exercise takes a name, equipment, and muscle groups, and you log it like any built-in one. Pro also lets you edit the name, equipment, and muscles of built-in exercises, and reset them to the default."}],

LiftLog runs on iPhone only and is a one-time purchase after a 7-day trial, with 40 ready-made programs, smart weight suggestions, and 10 widgets. GymLogger X is a separate app with its own Apple Watch app. Pick GymLogger X if you want to log sets from your wrist; its page lists its features and prices."},{"question": "Does LiftLog work with Apple Watch?", "answer": "No. LiftLog runs on iPhone only and has no Apple Watch app. It can save finished workouts to Apple Health so they count toward your Activity rings, if you turn that on."},{"question": "What programs does LiftLog include?", "answer": "Browse Templates holds 40 programs based on well-known routines such as StrongLifts 5×5, Starting Strength, Greyskull LP, Wendler 5/3/1, Texas Method, GZCLP, nSuns 531 LP, PHUL, PHAT, and German Volume Training. Twenty focus on strength, 17 on hypertrophy, and 3 are general; 10 are for beginners, 22 intermediate, and 8 advanced. Each loads with sets, reps, and rest in place, and you can build your own. The program names belong to their owners, who don't endorse LiftLog."},{"question": "Can LiftLog suggest the weight for my next session?", "answer": "Yes. Give a program exercise a progression scheme (Double progression, Linear, % of training max, or RPE / RIR) and LiftLog fills each pending set with the weight the program prescribes. After the workout, a Progression review marks each exercise as Progressed, Hold, Missed, or Deload. Smart weight suggestions are on by default and can be turned off in Settings."},{"question": "Does LiftLog track personal records and 1RM?", "answer": "Yes. A PR badge with the improvement appears the moment a set beats your estimated 1RM history.

You choose the 1RM formula in Settings: Adaptive (recommended), Brzycki, or Epley. Warm-up sets never count."},{"question": "Does LiftLog support RPE?", "answer": "Yes, as an option. You add an RPE from 1 to 10 by editing a set after the workout; there is no RPE field on the live set row. Each exercise then gets an average-RPE chart, and exercises on the RPE / RIR progression scheme use what you enter."},{"question": "Does LiftLog need an account or an internet connection?", "answer": "No. LiftLog needs no account, and every feature works offline, including all 1,500 exercise animations. The internet is used only to buy, restore a purchase, or open a link. Your workouts stay on your iPhone, and Lagerland Apps never receives them."},{"question": "Does LiftLog sync with iCloud? How do I move to a new iPhone?", "answer": "There is no iCloud or cross-device sync. To move your history, export a JSON backup in Settings and import it on the new iPhone. You can also export a CSV file at any time."},{"question": "Can I import workouts from Strong, Hevy, or another tracker?", "answer": "No. LiftLog imports only its own JSON backup.

Open the Plate Calculator from the workout toolbar or from Settings, enter a target weight, and it shows which plates go on each side of the bar and the total. It notes when the bar alone is enough or when the weight can't be loaded exactly. It stays available after the trial."},{"question": "Can I use Siri with LiftLog?", "answer": "Yes. Say “Start my next workout with LiftLog”, or start a saved workout by name. During a workout, Siri can log the set you're on and start your rest timer. You can also ask for your training streak or this week's volume without opening the app. All six actions are in the Shortcuts app too."},{"question": "Which languages does LiftLog support?", "answer": "The app interface is translated into many languages, including German, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Arabic. Exercise names and instructions are available in 23 languages, and you can choose the exercise language separately from the app language."},{"question": "How current is the information on this page?", "answer": "We update this page with each App Store release; the dates are in the page footer. The four one-time tiers ($9.99 / $19.99 / $29.99 / $39.99) and the 7-day trial without a card match the App Store. If the App Store ever shows different prices, the App Store is canonical."}],

There is no account, and the app has no analytics SDK. Transcription and auto subtitles use on-device speech recognition."},{"question": "How do I compress a video to fit a size limit?", "answer": "Drop the video into MediaKit and choose Compress. Set a target size and MediaKit works out the bitrate; it never goes over the target, and if the target can't be reached it stops with an error instead. The tool screen shows the estimated size before you run it, and the result shows the space you saved. Video Compress is one of the five free tools. With Pro, Make It Fit can also enhance a clip, turn it into 9:16, and bring it under 25 MB for social posts in one step."},{"question": "Which file formats does MediaKit support?", "answer": "Video: MKV opens directly, because MediaKit unpacks it itself (DTS, E-AC-3, and MP3 audio inside an MKV is dropped, with a notice); ProRes is written to .mov. Audio: reads formats including MP3 and FLAC and writes M4A (AAC), WAV, AIFF, ALAC, and CAF. Images: HEIC, JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, WebP (where your system can write it), BMP, and JPEG 2000, plus camera RAW, AVIF, PSD, and EXR as input. Ebooks: EPUB, FB2, MOBI and AZW3 (read-only), PDF, TXT, HTML, CBZ, and RTF. Archives: ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, GZIP, XZ, and BZIP2, plus RAR4 and RAR5 for extracting. WebM, RAR creation, encrypted RAR, and DRM-protected Kindle books are not supported."},{"question": "Is MediaKit free?", "answer": "Yes, to start. For your first 3 days every tool works, one export per run, with no payment. After that, five tools stay free for good, one file at a time: Video Compress, Image Compress, Image Resize, Audio Convert, and PDF Compress. Pro unlocks every other tool, batch processing, and unlimited exports for $3.99/month or $22.99/year, each starting with a 3-day free trial, or $39.99 once, and all three support Family Sharing. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Does MediaKit work offline?", "answer": "Yes. Every tool runs on your device, so MediaKit works without an internet connection. The one exception is subtitle translation, which uses Apple's Translation language packs; macOS downloads them the first time (macOS 15 or later)."},{"question": "Which devices does MediaKit support?", "answer": "iPhone with iOS 17 or later, and Mac with macOS 14.6 (Sonoma) or later. One purchase covers both. There is no iPad version. Some extras are Mac-only: Folder Automation, the menu bar item, Open With from Finder, and Try-It samples with ⌘T. The share sheet extension, the Library tab, and saving to Photos are on iPhone."},{"question": "Can MediaKit be automated?", "answer": "Yes. With Pro, save any chain of tools as a Recipe and run it on new files. On Mac, Folder Automation runs a Recipe on every file that lands in a folder you choose, and six actions in the Shortcuts app cover Compress Video, Convert Image, Compress Image, Merge PDFs, Create ZIP, and Extract Text from Image."},{"question": "How is MediaKit different from online converters?", "answer": "Online converters upload your file to a server, process it there, and send it back. MediaKit does the same jobs on your iPhone or Mac, so a contract, a scan, or a family video never leaves the device, and there is no upload to wait for. It also covers six kinds of file in one app, shows the estimated size before you run a tool, and lets you compare the result with the original."}],

Only optional theme packs, undo bundles, and a tip cost money.","faq": [{"question": "What kind of puzzle is Millrace?", "answer": "A tile logic puzzle with levels. Each level gives you a set board, a fixed queue of arriving tiles, and a move limit. Tiles arrive one at a time at the arrival cell, equal tiles merge when you slide them together, and your goal is to build one exact number on the marked cell. Nothing inside a level is random, and every level has a proven shortest solution."},{"question": "How can you be sure every level is solvable?", "answer": "A solver checks it before the level ships. Each level goes through a breadth-first search that finds its shortest solution, and a level without a proven solution does not ship. An automated test also checks that random play rarely wins. The shortest solution is the best possible count the result card shows you."},{"question": "What are the two ways to lose?", "answer": "Blocking the arrival cell, and building past the target. New tiles keep coming in at the arrival cell, so if a tile sits on it, the next arrival has nowhere to land. If you build a number past the target (a 128 when the level asks for 64), the goal is lost. After a loss you can undo that move or retry the level."},{"question": "Is there an endless mode?", "answer": "Yes: Freeplay, one tap from the level list. It has no goal and no move limit; you slide tiles, merge equal ones, and play as long as you can. It keeps your stats and streaks, and the Daily Challenge gives every player the same board each day."},{"question": "How much does Millrace cost?", "answer": "Nothing for the whole game. All 64 levels, Freeplay, the Daily Challenge, Hint, coaching notes, and Game Center are free, with no ads and no subscription. The only purchases are optional: theme packs at $1.99 each or all sixteen paid themes in the Complete Collection for $5.99, undo bundles from $0.99, and a $1.99 tip that unlocks nothing."},{"question": "Do I need to buy undo tokens?", "answer": "No. Undo inside a puzzle level is free and unlimited, and you can retry any level as often as you like. Tokens are for Freeplay: one free token arrives each day while you hold fewer than three, your first move on the Daily Challenge earns one, and streaks of 3, 7, 14, and 30 days pay out 2, 5, 10, and 20 more. Bundles of 10, 50, or 200 are there if you want more."},{"question": "What do the coaching notes do, and can I turn them off?", "answer": "When a game ends, a short note on the game-over card can name one habit the app noticed across your recent games: keeping your biggest tile in a corner, not letting the board fill up, or keeping big tiles together in size order. A habit stops coming up once you have fixed it. Notes never appear during play, nothing leaves your device, and you can switch Coaching notes off in Settings."},{"question": "Does Millrace work offline?", "answer": "Yes. The whole game works offline. You need a connection only for the shop and Restore Purchases, for Game Center if you use it, and for links you open, such as the privacy policy."},{"question": "Does Millrace collect any data about me?", "answer": "No account is required, and the app has no tracking and no analytics, advertising, or third-party SDKs. Your progress, stats, and settings stay on your device. Purchases and Game Center, if you use them, go through Apple, and a support email you choose to send includes your app version, device model, iOS version, and locale. The privacy policy has the full detail."},{"question": "Does it run on iPad and Mac, and does progress sync?", "answer": "Millrace runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. On iPad it works in every orientation. There is no Mac, Apple Watch, or Android version. Progress is stored on each device and does not sync; Game Center keeps your leaderboard entries and achievements if you sign in."},{"question": "Why is it called Millrace?", "answer": "A millrace is the channel that carries water to a mill wheel, a steady flow arriving at one point. In the game, tiles keep arriving at one cell, and you keep it clear while you build toward the goal."}],

Formerly known as ScreenFlow Studio.","faq": [{"question": "What is Mockly?", "answer": "Mockly is a Mac app for making App Store screenshots. You place your real screenshots on 3D iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, and Apple Watch models, add text, images, and backgrounds, and keep up to 50 App Store languages in one project. It exports PNG or HEIC files at exact sizes or uploads the pages to App Store Connect. It costs $12.99 once, with no subscription."},{"question": "How is Mockly different from other screenshot tools?", "answer": "Mockly is a Mac app you buy once. One project holds all 50 App Store languages, each with its own text, screenshots, and layout where you need it, and translation runs through your own AI key or a CSV file. The devices are 3D models you can turn on three axes. When the set is done, Mockly uploads it to App Store Connect with your API key, so you don't drag files into the browser."},{"question": "What sizes does Mockly export?", "answer": "Mockly has artboard presets for iPhone 6.9-inch and 6.5-inch, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, landscape variants, and a 1080×1920 Google Play size. Save Images exports every page as PNG or HEIC at the exact pixel size of the artboard you picked, for the current language or for all of them."},{"question": "Does Mockly support all App Store languages?", "answer": "Yes. Mockly lists the 50 App Store Connect languages. Add them one at a time, add them all at once, or search by name. Each language can have its own text, screenshots, images, and background, or follow your source language."},{"question": "Can I localize screenshots for multiple languages?", "answer": "Yes. Write the text once in your source language, then translate it with AI Translate using your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key, or export a CSV for a translator and import it back. Text blocks marked Do not translate are skipped. If one language needs a different layout, unlink it from the source and change only that language."},{"question": "Is Mockly a subscription?", "answer": "No. Mockly is a one-time purchase at $12.99, and every editor feature comes with it. AI Translate uses your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key, and your provider bills you for that use."},{"question": "Can I upload directly to App Store Connect?", "answer": "Yes. Add your App Store Connect API key (Key ID, Issuer ID, and .p8 file) in Settings. Mockly lists your apps and versions, reads the display type from the artboard, renders the pages, and uploads them for the languages you choose. It replaces the screenshots already in that display type, and it shows the progress of each file and a list of results."},{"question": "Where does Mockly store my API keys?", "answer": "In the macOS Keychain on your Mac. Your AI key is sent only to the provider you selected, because that provider needs it to answer the request. Your App Store Connect key is used only to sign requests to Apple. Lagerland Apps runs no server and never sees either key."},{"question": "Does Mockly handle App Store preview videos?", "answer": "No. Mockly makes still screenshots and exports them as PNG or HEIC. It has no video or PDF export."},{"question": "Does Mockly work with Fastlane?", "answer": "Mockly is a Mac app you work in by hand, and fastlane snapshot and frameit run from scripts. If your screenshots are captured and framed in CI, you may not need Mockly. If you capture with fastlane and design in Mockly, link the output folder in Mockly once the files follow its naming pattern of language, page, and device."},{"question": "Does Mockly run on Windows, iPhone, or iPad?", "answer": "No. Mockly is a Mac app for macOS 14 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It makes screenshots for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch listings, plus a Google Play size."},{"question": "Does Mockly collect any data?", "answer": "No. Mockly needs no account and has no analytics or tracking SDKs, and Lagerland Apps runs no server for it. Projects and settings stay on your Mac, and your keys are kept in its Keychain. Text leaves the Mac only when you run AI Translate, and it goes, with your key, to the provider you chose. Screenshots leave it only when you upload them to App Store Connect."},{"question": "How do Mockly screenshots comply with App Store Review Guidelines §2.3.3?", "answer": "Guideline 2.3.3 asks for screenshots that show the app in use, not only title art, a login page, or a splash screen. In Mockly the screen of each 3D device shows a screenshot you captured from your app, and your text and background sit around it. Whether a set passes review depends on what your screenshots show, and Mockly can't guarantee App Store approval."},{"question": "How does Mockly compare to MockUPhone, LocaShot, Picasso, or AppMockUp?", "answer": "Compare them on the points that matter for your release: where the tool runs, how it's priced, how many App Store languages it handles, and whether it uploads to App Store Connect. Mockly runs on a Mac, costs $12.99 once with no subscription, holds all 50 App Store languages in one project, translates with your own AI key or a CSV file, renders 3D devices, and uploads to App Store Connect with your API key. Check each of the others on its own site, since features and prices change."}],

},"faq": [{"question": "What is Observa?", "answer": "Observa is a health insights app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. It reads your Apple Health data and turns it into a daily Readiness score, a Sleep Score, and a stress read, each measured against your own baseline and explained in plain language. It also answers \"Should I train today?\" and shows which habits tend to line up with your recovery, sleep, and HRV. There is no account, and the analysis runs on your device."},{"question": "How is Observa different from other health apps?", "answer": "Your scores are compared with your own typical range, not a generic target, and each one shows how confident it is. Every score comes with \"Why this score?\", which names the signals that moved it. Observa is also private by construction. You never create an account, and the app makes no network calls of its own, so your health data stays on your device."},{"question": "How does the Readiness score work?", "answer": "Readiness is a 0 to 100 score built each day from sleep (35%), HRV (25%), resting heart rate (25%), and training load (15%). Breathing, blood oxygen, body, energy, and cycle data can adjust it when you have them. It is banded Ready, Moderate, or Low, and for about the first 7 nights it shows \"Building your baseline\" while Observa learns your normal. \"Why this score?\" shows which signals moved it most."},{"question": "Does Observa work with Apple Watch?", "answer": "Yes, in two ways. Observa reads what your Apple Watch saves to Apple Health, such as sleep stages, heart rate, HRV, resting heart rate, blood oxygen, and workouts. It also has its own Apple Watch app for watchOS 10 or later, with Readiness, the training call, \"Why this score?\", a morning check-in, water logging, and workout recording, plus complications for your watch face. The Watch app runs on its own."},{"question": "Do I need an Apple Watch?", "answer": "Observa reads Apple Health, whichever device or app saved the data there. An Apple Watch is recommended, because sleep stages, HRV, blood oxygen, ECG, and VO₂ max only appear when a device records them."},{"question": "How does Observa handle HRV and ECG data?", "answer": "Apple Health records heart rate variability as SDNN, and that is the HRV Observa shows: your daily value against your own baseline, with 7 days of trend free and 30, 90, or 365 days with Pro. HRV also feeds 25% of your Readiness score. With Pro, the ECG card shows your latest ECG recording with its waveform and the classification history from Apple Health. Observa displays what Apple Health recorded; it does not detect or diagnose any condition."},{"question": "Is Observa free?", "answer": "Yes. Readiness, the Sleep Score, Stress, Today's Plan, \"Why this score?\", the training call, the daily coaching note, 7-day trends, and Siri are free for good. Every Pro feature is unlocked for your first 7 days, with no signup or card. Pro adds 30, 90, and 365-day trends, the full analysis screens, Functional Age, Advanced HRV, ECG history, training analysis, widget data, and all 14 themes. It costs $3.99/month, $22.99/year, or $49.99 once, with Family Sharing on every paid plan. Separately from those first 7 days in the app, the monthly and yearly subscriptions each start with a 7-day free trial through the App Store. Prices are in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Does Observa give medical advice?", "answer": "No. Observa is not a medical device. It shows patterns and scores from data you already collect, for your own understanding. It does not diagnose, treat, or detect any condition, and its ECG, rhythm, and blood oxygen views display what Apple Health recorded. If something looks off, talk to a clinician."},{"question": "Does Observa upload my health data?", "answer": "No. Your health data is processed and stored on your device. Observa works without an account or servers and carries no analytics or third-party SDKs. The app makes no network calls of its own; only purchases and the links you open use the internet. Your data is never shared with anyone, Lagerland Apps included."},{"question": "Do I need to log anything manually?", "answer": "No. Observa reads Apple Health automatically, so the scores fill in from data your iPhone and Apple Watch already save. Logging is optional: a three-question morning check-in, water in one tap or by voice, symptoms, and body measurements."},{"question": "How does Observa decide which patterns to show?", "answer": "Patterns looks at your data over 14, 28, or 90 days and compares habits with outcomes such as recovery, sleep, and HRV, including delayed effects. A pattern only appears when it passes a significance check, and Observa shows up to four, ranked. Each card carries a confidence label and a \"Why am I seeing this?\" note, and you can mark it Feels accurate or Doesn't apply. The wording says \"tends to align with\", because these are associations, not causes."},{"question": "How is Observa an alternative to AutoSleep, Athlytic, or Bevel?", "answer": "Observa suits you if you want a daily Readiness score and a training call with the reasons spelled out, measured against your own baseline, and you'd rather your health data never leave your device. It has no account and no ads, and it runs on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. The comparison pages go app by app: AutoSleep, Athlytic, Bevel, Gentler Streak, Whoop, Oura, HRV4Training, and Welltory."},{"question": "Does Observa sync between devices or export my data?", "answer": "No. There is no account and no iCloud sync, so Observa's data lives on the device. The Apple Watch app keeps in step with your iPhone directly. The only export is a workout report: free users can share one a month as a PNG with a watermark, and Pro shares unlimited reports as PNG or PDF without one. A Pro purchase restores through Restore Purchases in Settings."},{"question": "What does Observa actually measure?", "answer": "Everything comes from Apple Health. Sleep: duration, efficiency, consistency, stages, overnight heart rate and its dip, and sleep debt against your goal. Recovery: Readiness, HRV (SDNN), resting heart rate, and stress. Heart: walking heart rate, VO₂ max, heart-rate zones and recovery, and ECG recordings. Activity and workouts: steps, active minutes, distance, flights, training load, and Effort Score. Breathing: respiratory rate and blood oxygen. Body and energy: weight, body fat, lean mass, and active and resting energy. Optional cycle context widens your baselines across the month. Each one is read against your own typical range."},{"question": "Which iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch does Observa need?", "answer": "Observa needs iOS 17.6 or later on iPhone or iPad, and the Apple Watch app needs watchOS 10 or later. The full-page widgets need iOS 27. There is no Mac or Android version, and on iPhone the app runs in portrait."}],

},"faq": [{"question": "What is Pawza?", "answer": "Pawza is a pet health record app for iPhone and iPad. Each pet gets one dashboard with medications, vaccinations, diet, weight, symptoms, records, photos, reminders, and a daily care log. You can scan vet documents or import a records PDF, and both run on your device. It is free for one pet. Pawza Pro adds unlimited pets, unlimited scans with Apple Intelligence auto-fill, the Vet Visit PDF, the Sitter Pack, weight alerts, and data export."},{"question": "How does the AI document scanning work?", "answer": "Scan a vaccination certificate, lab result, prescription, invoice, or discharge note with the camera, or pick up to five photos. Apple Vision reads the text on your device. With Pawza Pro on iOS 26 or later and a device that supports Apple Intelligence, the on-device model fills in the document type, visit date, vet and clinic, vaccinations, medications, diagnoses, weight, and next-due date. Without it, the review form opens with the recognized text and you complete the fields. Either way you review every field before anything is saved, because extraction can be wrong."},{"question": "Can I import years of old vet records at once?", "answer": "Yes. Import past records takes one PDF of up to 100 MB, reads every page, and splits it into visits by date. With Apple Intelligence it also pulls out the vet, vaccines, medications, and weights per visit; without it, you fill in the details. You merge, split, or discard visits and save once. Your first import is free and does not use up a scan; later imports need Pro. On iOS 26, long files continue in the background."},{"question": "Is Pawza free?", "answer": "Yes, for one pet and with no time limit. Free includes the care log, medications, vaccinations, symptoms, records, the weight chart, reminders, the Emergency Card, the Lost Pet Kit, all 8 widgets, the Control Center button, Siri, iCloud sync, your first records import, 10 document scans, and 50 photos in total. Pawza Pro costs $2.99/month or $19.99/year, each starting with a 7-day free trial, or $39.99 once, and every Pro plan includes Family Sharing. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency."},{"question": "What does Pawza Pro unlock?", "answer": "Unlimited pets, unlimited document scans with Apple Intelligence auto-fill (iOS 26 or later on an eligible device), unlimited records imports and photos, photo auto-sorting and Compare Photos, the Vet Visit PDF, the Sitter Pack, weight alerts, and full data export as JSON, CSV, or PDF."},{"question": "Is my pet's data private?", "answer": "Yes. Pawza needs no account, has no server of its own, and carries no ads or analytics. Records are stored on your device. If you sign in to iCloud, they sync through your own private iCloud between your iPhone and iPad, and Lagerland Apps cannot read them. Scanning and records import run on the device, and imported photos are stripped of location and EXIF data."},{"question": "Does Pawza work without an internet connection?", "answer": "Yes. Logging, records, scanning, reminders, widgets, and PDFs all work offline. Pawza needs a connection only for iCloud sync and for purchases."},{"question": "Can I track more than one pet?", "answer": "The free plan covers one pet; Pawza Pro removes the limit. Each pet gets its own dashboard, and the Up next and The pack widgets show reminders and the last meal and walk for all of them. Archived pets keep their history."},{"question": "Can my family share my pet's records?", "answer": "No. iCloud sync covers your own devices, so a partner or sitter on their own Apple Account sees a separate record. For a sitter, the Sitter Pack (Pro) prints everything they need. Every Pro plan includes Family Sharing, which shares the Pro purchase with your family group; each person keeps their own records."},{"question": "Does Pawza work on iPad?", "answer": "Yes. Pawza is one universal app for iPhone and iPad, and on iPad the Pets tab becomes a two-column view with the list beside the dashboard. Your records sync between the two through your own iCloud. Pawza requires iOS 17.6 or later and has no Mac, Apple Watch, or Android version."},{"question": "Which vaccinations and treatments can I track in Pawza?", "answer": "Whatever your vet gives. Each vaccine keeps the date given, the next due date, the lot number, and notes, and can remind you on the due day. Medication courses keep the dose, a repeating dose reminder, and the dose history. Because you enter the names your vet uses, or scan them from the certificate, Pawza works with any country's schedule: rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, and leptospirosis for dogs, FVRCP and FeLV for cats, or a rabbit's or horse's own vaccines."},{"question": "Will I get reminders for vaccinations and medications?", "answer": "Yes. Reminders are local notifications in six categories: vaccine, medication, feeding, grooming, vet visit, and custom. They can be one-time or repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. A dose notification has a Given button that records the dose, a feeding one has Fed, and the others have Mark Done and Snooze 1 hour. Mark a reminder Time-sensitive to break through Focus; a one-time Time-sensitive reminder re-alerts after 5, 15, and 30 minutes until you act. Reminders need notification permission."},{"question": "Can I share my pet's history with a vet?", "answer": "Yes, with Pawza Pro. The Vet Visit PDF covers the time range you pick and can include what changed since the last visit, current medications and diet, vaccination status, recent weight and visits, symptoms, the last 7 days of care, contacts, insurance, and your own \"What to discuss\" notes. Share it as a PDF or an image, on Letter or A4 paper."},{"question": "Do I need Apple Intelligence to use Pawza?", "answer": "No. Apple Intelligence auto-fill is a Pawza Pro feature that needs iOS 26 or later on an eligible device (the app names iPhone 15 Pro or newer). On every other device, Pawza reads documents with on-device text recognition and you fill in the fields yourself. Everything else in the app works the same."},{"question": "Does Pawza diagnose health problems?", "answer": "No. Pawza keeps records; it is not a medical device and does not give veterinary advice. Weight alerts flag a quick change over time, and symptom logs and summaries help you describe what happened. The diagnosis stays with your vet."},{"question": "Can I log care from my Home Screen or with Siri?", "answer": "Yes, and it is all free. Eight widgets cover the Home Screen and Lock Screen, including a one-tap Quick log button and an Up next list with a Mark Done button. On iOS 18 a Log care button goes in Control Center. Siri understands phrases such as \"Log walk in Pawza\" and \"Log care for Bella in Pawza\". Widgets update from the app, so open Pawza once after adding a pet or a reminder."},{"question": "Can I move my records from another pet app?", "answer": "Through a file. Pawza imports Pawza backups (JSON) and CSV files, shows a preview, and importing is always free. It has no direct connection to other apps. If your old app can export a PDF of your records, Import past records can read that too."},{"question": "How do I cancel a Pawza Pro subscription?", "answer": "Open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel before the renewal date; you keep Pro until the period ends. Monthly and Yearly start with a 7-day free trial for eligible accounts and renew automatically unless cancelled. Lifetime is a one-time purchase with nothing to cancel. Apple handles refunds through the standard App Store refund flow."}],

The receipt is read on your iPhone and the photo is never uploaded. Your first scan is free; unlimited scanning is part of Pro+."},{"question": "Which OCR engine does RightSplit use?", "answer": "Two, both on the device. On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence turned on (iOS 26 or later on an eligible iPhone), Apple Intelligence reads the receipt text. Every other iPhone uses Apple's Vision framework with RightSplit's own receipt rules. Neither one uploads the receipt, so scanning works offline."},{"question": "How accurate is the receipt scan?", "answer": "It depends on the receipt. Faded paper, heavy creases, or a photo taken at a sharp angle can misread a line, so every item stays editable: tap it to fix the price or the name before you assign it. The summary shows the receipt's subtotal, tax, tip, and total so you can check them against the paper, and the saved receipt keeps its photo."},{"question": "Can I split shared dishes?", "answer": "Yes, with Pro+. Any item can be split between several people: bottles, starters, shared plates. The item's cost is divided evenly among the people who shared it, and tax and tip are divided per person."},{"question": "How do I send people their share?", "answer": "Send Payment Requests builds one message per person with the place, their exact amount, and a tap-to-pay link for the payment method you saved. Send it by Messages or WhatsApp, or copy it into any app. The other person doesn't need to install anything."},{"question": "Is RightSplit free?", "answer": "Yes. Equal splits with tip, fair rounding, your last five splits, split templates, Siri, 12 widgets, and your first receipt scan are free for good. Pro+ adds unlimited scans, split by items and shared dishes, adjusting one person's share, the tip breakdown, unlimited history, Spaces, the payment tracker and unpaid reminders, the Pay-Me Card, and 6 more widgets. It costs $3.99 per year, starting with a 3-day free trial, or $7.99 once; the lifetime purchase does not renew. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Does RightSplit need an account?", "answer": "No. RightSplit works the moment you open it, with no sign-up and no personal details. Only one person at the table needs the app: you scan, split, and send everyone their amount."},{"question": "Does RightSplit store my receipts online?", "answer": "No. Receipts, amounts, names, and payment details stay on your iPhone, and there is no cloud sync. RightSplit has no servers of its own, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party analytics. Its only network request fetches European Central Bank exchange rates, and nothing of yours is sent with it."},{"question": "Does RightSplit work offline?", "answer": "Yes, it works in airplane mode. Scanning and splitting run on the device. Two things need a connection: sending the messages through Messages or WhatsApp (you can copy them and send later), and refreshing the European Central Bank exchange rates used for currency conversion."},{"question": "What languages does the receipt scanner read?", "answer": "Sixteen: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Pick the receipt's language under Receipt Language in Options. In each of those languages the subtotal, tax, and total lines are recognized, so they aren't billed as dishes."},{"question": "Can RightSplit handle multi-currency receipts?", "answer": "Yes. RightSplit splits in the currency you set, from 58, including currencies without decimals like yen and won, so a receipt in euros or pounds comes out in euros or pounds, tax and tip included. Set a home currency and each amount also shows an approximate figure in it. With Pro+, a Space can mix currencies and settle in the one you choose, using the European Central Bank's daily rates; 30 of the 58 currencies have one, and totals in the others aren't converted."},{"question": "Does it handle tax-inclusive (VAT) receipts?", "answer": "Yes. RightSplit takes each item at its printed price. When VAT is already included in each line, as is usual in the EU and UK, there is no separate tax line to divide, so the split matches the receipt. When the receipt adds tax as its own line, as in most of the US, RightSplit reads it as tax and divides it per person."},{"question": "How many people can I split a bill between?", "answer": "On the split screen you set the number of people, and with a scanned receipt you add the people at the table. For a trip or a shared home, Pro+ Spaces keep everyone's balance on your phone. When everyone in the group needs to see and add to the same ledger from their own phone, a group-based tool like Splitwise (or Tricount for trip ledgers) fits better."},{"question": "Does RightSplit integrate with Apple Pay, Venmo, or PayPal?", "answer": "It links to them, and RightSplit never moves money itself. Save your own Venmo, PayPal.me, Revolut, or Wise handle, your IBAN, or Apple Pay, and each person's message carries a tap-to-pay link with their amount, which they complete in that service. Available methods vary by region, and a link can't confirm that a payment arrived, so you mark people paid yourself. See the RightSplit vs Venmo Split comparison."},{"question": "Does RightSplit work on iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch?", "answer": "No. RightSplit is an iPhone app and needs iOS 17 or later. Controls need iOS 18, and reading receipts with Apple Intelligence needs iOS 26 on an eligible iPhone."},{"question": "Does RightSplit have widgets?", "answer": "Yes, 18 of them, and 12 are free. Pocket Split is a keypad on the Home Screen that does the split without opening the app; others show your last split, your recent splits, and your split stats. With Pro+, Settle Up and Waiting On show who still owes you, and you can mark someone paid from the widget. The Pay Me widget is Pro+ and stays off until you turn on Show on widgets."},{"question": "How is RightSplit different from Splitwise?", "answer": "Splitwise is made for shared group ledgers: roommates, ongoing trip costs, and debts that build up over months, with everyone logging and checking balances from their own account. RightSplit is a calculator on your phone: you scan one receipt, split it, and send the amounts, without creating accounts or adding friends. For a trip or a shared home, Pro+ Spaces collect receipts and expenses, keep each person's balance, and work out the fewest transfers to settle up. Spaces live only on your phone with no sync, so the rest of the group sees what you send them, not a live shared balance. See the full Splitwise comparison, or compare against Tab, Tricount, Settle Up, and Venmo Split."}],

You play 40 engine opponents, YaneuraOu checks every move of your games on the device, and each mistake is explained with what you played, what was best, and a coach's tip. Training then aims at your top weakness, with 501 tsume problems, 99 drop drills, 62 castle drills, 55 joseki drills, 62 endgame races, and 80 lessons."},{"question": "Can I play shogi without knowing kanji?", "answer": "Yes. Shogiful has three piece styles: Traditional (kanji), International (kanji with arrows that show how each piece moves), and Chess (chess-style pieces with no kanji). You can switch between them any time in Settings. Tap a piece and every legal move and drop is highlighted, and moves can be written in Western notation such as P-7f."},{"question": "Is Shogiful good for chess players learning shogi?", "answer": "Yes. Choose the Chess piece style and Western notation, and the board reads much like a chess board. Shogi differs where it matters most: captured pieces come back as drops, promotion is a choice, and endgames are races to mate. Shogiful's mistake types include Drop Mistake, Promotion Mistake, Castle Weakness, and Missed Tsume, and there are 99 drop drills and 62 castle drills to practise them."},{"question": "Is Shogiful good for beginners?", "answer": "Yes. The first launch includes an interactive tutorial on drops, and the full Fundamentals lesson track is free. The opponent ladder starts at Koishi, a gentle beginner, and full shogi rules, including drops, promotion, and repetition, are enforced for you. An optional 12-puzzle Skill Assessment sets the level of your lessons and daily training."},{"question": "How is Shogiful different from Shogi Wars?", "answer": "Shogi Wars is the dominant online shogi platform: the official Japan Shogi Association app, with live matchmaking and ranked kyu/dan promotion. Shogiful is a single-player training app with no account and no clock. You play engine opponents at your own pace, review every game with YaneuraOu, and train on the mistakes you make. You can use both: Shogiful to practise, and Shogi Wars to compete."},{"question": "How is Shogiful different from Lishogi or 81Dojo?", "answer": "Lishogi and 81Dojo are online platforms built around playing people. Lishogi is the free open-source web platform and 81Dojo the long-running international dojo. Shogiful works offline and focuses on training: on-device analysis with a card for each mistake, a daily plan aimed at your top weakness, and drills for tsume, drops, castles, joseki, and endgames. Use it to practise between your online games."},{"question": "What engine does Shogiful use?", "answer": "YaneuraOu, with its NNUE evaluation file built into the app. It runs on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, so analysis needs no connection. It checks every move of your games, plays your 40 opponents, and powers the coach and the Deep Lines view. Shogiful turns its evaluations into mistake cards in plain words."},{"question": "How is Shogiful different from PiyoShogi?", "answer": "PiyoShogi is a free app that is often recommended to beginners, with graded computer levels and its own analysis. Shogiful is built around training: every mistake gets a card with what you played, what was best, and a tip, your daily plan aims at your top weakness, and you get 501 tsume problems, 99 drop drills, 62 castle drills, and 80 lessons. It also offers piece styles with arrows or with no kanji at all."},{"question": "Does Shogiful have time controls?", "answer": "No. Games against Shogiful's opponents are untimed, with no clock and no byoyomi, so take as long as you like on any move. For timed practice ahead of online play, use an online platform such as Shogi Wars, Lishogi, or 81Dojo."},{"question": "What is tsume-shogi, and does Shogiful include it?", "answer": "Tsume-shogi are shogi's classic checkmate problems: every attacking move must give check, and you mate the king with the pieces on the board and in hand. Shogiful's Tsume Trail has 501 problems in five levels, from 1-move to 9-move mates. The 381 problems in the 1-, 3-, and 5-move levels are free; Premium adds the 7- and 9-move levels. Any move that really mates counts, even when it differs from the book answer."},{"question": "Can I import my games from Shogi Wars or 81Dojo?", "answer": "Yes, as KIF files. Go to Settings, then Data & Privacy, then Import KIF, and import from a file, the clipboard, or pasted text, in UTF-8 or Shift-JIS. You see a preview with the players, handicap, and move count before you import. Imported games are reviewed like any other game, from the Sente side, and the review counts toward the free 2 analyses a day."},{"question": "Does Shogiful work offline?", "answer": "Yes, for everything you do with shogi. Playing, analysis, training, and review run on the device with a built-in engine. Buying or restoring Premium and Game Center need a connection."},{"question": "Is Shogiful free? What does Premium cost?", "answer": "Shogiful is free to download, and playing is never limited: all 40 opponents, unlocked as you win, with all piece styles and the 3D board. The free version includes 2 game analyses, 3 training puzzles, and 2 coach hints a day, 381 tsume problems, and 31 lessons. Premium removes the daily limits and opens Deep Lines, all 501 tsume problems, every drill, all 80 lessons, and the Skill Profile and Weakness Trends. It costs $1.99/month or $9.99/year, each with a 7-day free trial, or $19.99 once for lifetime access. Family Sharing is included. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Does Shogiful need an account?", "answer": "No. There is no sign-up and no Shogiful account. Your games, analysis, and training history are stored on your device. Game Center is optional, and purchases go through your Apple Account."},{"question": "Can I play against other people in Shogiful?", "answer": "No. Every game is against Shogiful's 40 opponents, which run from a gentle beginner to master level and unlock as you beat them. For ranked games against people, use Shogi Wars, Lishogi, or 81Dojo, and import those games as KIF to review them in Shogiful."},{"question": "Can I play handicap shogi?", "answer": "Yes, through Komaochi in the Training tab. It has 40 handicap scenarios across 8 handicaps, from lance odds to eight pieces, each with a goal such as mate or material. Begin practice opens a game from that handicap position. Handicap games start only from Komaochi, not from the Play tab."},{"question": "Does Shogiful support Japanese?", "answer": "Yes. Shogiful has 39 localizations, Japanese among them, and follows your device language. Japanese users get their own first-launch flow that asks for a kyū or dan level, and moves can be shown in Japanese notation (▲７六歩) or Western notation (P-7f)."}],

First 20 levels free, one $2.99 purchase for the other 180; no ads, no timer, no account, fully offline, Data Not Collected.","faq": [{"question": "What kind of game is Tare?", "answer": "Tare is a wordless balance logic puzzle for iPhone and iPad. Each of its 200 levels is a hanging mobile, and you hang weights on hooks until every beam balances at once. Some weights are hidden, and you work out their values from picture cards. It feels like a toy, but each level has exactly one correct arrangement that you can reason out."},{"question": "How does balancing work?", "answer": "A beam is level when weight times distance from the pivot is equal on both sides. A 2 on the second notch balances a 4 on the first. When one beam hangs from another, it pulls on its hook with everything hanging below it. The game teaches this in its first five levels without a word."},{"question": "What are the “?” weights?", "answer": "They are weights hidden inside a frosted bubble. A beam carrying one will not settle until you have deduced its value, so you can't read the answer off the scale. The picture cards pinned above the board show how the pieces compare, and you reason out each hidden weight from them."},{"question": "Is every level actually solvable?", "answer": "Yes. Every level is handmade and then checked by a solver. It must have exactly one balanced arrangement, every hidden weight must follow from its cards, and any spare piece must fit nowhere."},{"question": "Is Tare free?", "answer": "The download is free, and Chapter I, with its 20 levels, stays free; it is not a timed trial. One $2.99 purchase opens Chapters II to X, the other 180 levels, for good. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription, and it works with Family Sharing. There are no ads and nothing else to buy."},{"question": "I bought the unlock. Why is Chapter II still closed?", "answer": "Chapters open in order, purchase or not. Keep solving Chapter I and Chapter II opens, and each later chapter opens the same way. Within a chapter you can play up to three levels past the last one you solved."},{"question": "How do I restore my purchase on a new iPhone or iPad?", "answer": "Open Settings in the game and tap Restore purchases. The unlock screen has the same button."},{"question": "Are there hints?", "answer": "Yes, if you want them. Hints are off by default. Switch on Hints in Settings and a hint button appears on each level. A hint draws a line showing where the next piece goes. It never shows the final piece and never reveals a hidden weight. Asking for a hint costs that level's third star. On the first five levels, a guiding line also appears by itself if you pause for a while."},{"question": "What do the three stars mean?", "answer": "Three stars is a clean solve. Taking a piece back off or asking for a hint brings it to two, and filling the board wrongly before you solve it brings it to one. Your best grade is kept, and nothing in the game is locked behind stars."},{"question": "Does Tare work offline, and does it collect data?", "answer": "Tare works completely offline; all 200 levels are in the app. Only buying and restoring the unlock need a connection, through Apple. The game opens no network connections of its own, has no account, ads, analytics, or third-party SDKs, and collects no data. Your progress and settings stay on your device."},{"question": "Can children or people who don't read English play it?", "answer": "Yes. The puzzle has no words, so anyone can play it in any language and at any age. The few screens around it, such as Settings and the unlock screen, are translated into 50 languages."},{"question": "Does it run on iPad or Mac, and does progress sync?", "answer": "Tare runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. On iPhone it plays in portrait. On iPad it turns with the device and draws the game large in a centred column. There is no Mac, Apple Watch, or Vision Pro version. Progress stays on the device you play on and does not sync between devices."},{"question": "Is Tare accessible?", "answer": "Yes. VoiceOver reads the mobile as named beams, hooks, and weights, with actions to place a piece or return it to the tray. Menus and labels scale with Dynamic Type. A High contrast switch keeps flat colours at 4.5:1 or better, Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency are respected, and the pieces come in distinct shapes, so colour is never the only cue."}],

With Pro, iCloud Sync keeps your Mac and your other devices on the same plan."},{"question": "Is the Mac version a separate purchase?", "answer": "No. Taskful Day is a single App Store app that runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and it's free to download on each."},{"question": "Does Taskful Day sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac?", "answer": "Yes, with Pro. iCloud Sync is optional and runs through your own private iCloud, so tasks, checklists, reminders, workspaces, the Inbox, and your Journal stay in step across your devices. Taskful Day has no server of its own. Turning sync on or off takes an app restart."},{"question": "Is Taskful Day good for ADHD?", "answer": "Taskful Day isn't an ADHD tool or a medical product, but parts of its design may help if long lists overwhelm you. Unfinished tasks carry forward on their own, and the Today list shows no overdue badge. You can drop a thought into the Inbox and decide later when it happens.

The 7 free days of Pro on every new install let you try all of it first, with no card."},{"question": "Does Taskful Day work on Apple Watch?", "answer": "Yes. The Apple Watch app shows Now, Today, and Tomorrow, lets you complete or snooze tasks with a swipe, and captures new tasks by dictation or Scribble. It needs the iPhone app installed. Inbox triage, the workspace switcher, and the Carried Forward and Journal Streak complications are Pro; the Today complication is free."},{"question": "How is Taskful Day different from other to-do apps?", "answer": "Most to-do apps keep a growing backlog and mark what you missed. Taskful Day plans one day at a time, moves unfinished tasks to today automatically, and shows no overdue badge on the Today list. It also lets you see the day as a clock, a timeline, or a map, and works across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch without an account."},{"question": "Does Taskful Day have a focus timer?", "answer": "Yes, with Pro. Focus Mode shows one task with its checklist steps, and Pro adds a timer of 10, 25, or 45 minutes, or anything from 5 to 120. On iPhone the countdown also runs as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island."},{"question": "Is Taskful Day free?", "answer": "Taskful Day is free to download, and every new install gets 7 days of Pro with no card needed. After that, the free version lets you create up to 50 tasks in total, with one workspace. Pro adds unlimited tasks, iCloud Sync, the visual day views, the week grid, the focus timer, and 21 Home Screen widgets for $2.99/month, $24.99/year, or $39.99 once. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "What happens when the 7 free days of Pro end?", "answer": "Your tasks stay. Pro themes switch back to System, and the free limits apply: 50 tasks in total, one workspace, one checklist step per task, and one active check-in. The free week starts on its own when onboarding ends. It is not an App Store subscription trial, and it never asks for payment details."},{"question": "Does Taskful Day track or sell my data?", "answer": "No. There's no account, no ads, and no analytics or third-party SDKs, and Taskful Day has no server of its own. Your data stays on the device, or in your own private iCloud if you turn on iCloud Sync."},{"question": "Can I import tasks from Apple Reminders?", "answer": "Yes. Taskful Day imports your incomplete reminders once, one way, skips duplicates, and turns bullet notes into checklist steps. On the free version the first import counts toward the 50-task total and shows how many reminders wait for Pro. Pro imports everything and can import again later."},{"question": "Does it work on iPad?", "answer": "Yes. On iPad, Taskful Day has a three-zone layout with a sidebar, a month calendar, and room for multiple windows, and eight of its widgets come in extra-large. It runs on iPadOS 17.6 or later."},{"question": "Can I export my data?", "answer": "Yes. Settings has Export My Data, which saves your tasks with their notes and checklist steps as a JSON file, and Delete All My Data, which erases everything."},{"question": "What macOS version does Taskful Day support?", "answer": "Taskful Day needs macOS 14 or later on the Mac, iOS 17.6 or later on iPhone, and iPadOS 17.6 or later on iPad.

},"faq": [{"question": "What is WanderWiki?", "answer": "WanderWiki is an iPhone and iPad app (iOS 18.2 or later) for reading Wikipedia by swiping instead of searching. Random brings articles from the whole encyclopedia, Browse narrows the deck to one of 16 topics, and tapping a card opens the full article in a clean reader that remembers where you stopped. It covers 32 Wikipedia language editions. Saved articles download for offline reading, any article can be read aloud, and five widgets bring it to the Home Screen and Lock Screen. It is free for 20 articles a day; Premium adds For You, Today in History, and unlimited swiping for $1.99/month, $8.99/year, or $24.99 once. There are no ads and no account."},{"question": "How is WanderWiki different from WikiScroll?", "answer": "Both let you swipe through random Wikipedia articles, and both have a this-day-in-history mode, topic picks, saves, and widgets. WikiScroll is free with ads, sells premium in the app, and its App Store privacy label says data may be used to track you; it runs on iPhones back to iOS 15. WanderWiki shows no ads and does no tracking. It is free for 20 articles a day, with Premium from $1.99/month or $24.99 once, and adds saved articles that open offline, folders, read-aloud, and 32 Wikipedia editions, on iPhone and iPad from iOS 18.2. The full comparison is on the WikiScroll alternative page."},{"question": "How is WanderWiki different from Wiki Rabbit?", "answer": "Wiki Rabbit is free with ads and draws only from Wikipedia's curated Good Articles. WanderWiki has no ads on any plan and draws from the full Wikipedia edition you choose, in 32 languages. Wiki Rabbit adapts during a session to what you open, skip, and linger on, and explains why each article was picked. WanderWiki's For You starts from the 16 topics you choose and the topics or articles you ask it to hide, all worked out on your device. Pick Wiki Rabbit for the explanations; pick WanderWiki for no ads, full Wikipedia, several languages, offline saves, and widgets."},{"question": "Is WanderWiki an official Wikipedia app?", "answer": "No. WanderWiki is an independent app from Lagerland Apps. It reads Wikipedia content through Wikipedia's official APIs under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license, which is shown in Settings, and every article opens in Wikipedia from the reader. WanderWiki is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Wikimedia Foundation. For editing, talk pages, and watchlists, use Wikipedia's official app."},{"question": "Which Wikipedia language editions does WanderWiki support?", "answer": "Thirty-two: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian Bokmål, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Catalan, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hindi, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Malay, and Arabic. Random, Browse, and search read from the edition you pick. Today in History uses the edition's own feed in 19 of them and English elsewhere. Where For You isn't available for an edition yet, the app shows Random and tells you."},{"question": "How does the For You mode work?", "answer": "You pick interests from 16 topics: Science, Technology, History, Arts, Music, Sports, Nature, Space, Philosophy, Geography, Literature, Movies, Food, Architecture, Mathematics, and Politics. For You then builds a feed from the Wikipedia categories behind those topics. Press and hold a card to see less like it, mark a topic as not interesting, or hide an article, and For You adjusts. Those choices stay on your device. For You is part of Premium; Browse, which dives into one topic, is free."},{"question": "How does Today in History work?", "answer": "Today in History shows Wikipedia's On This Day feed for today's date. Switch between five categories: Highlights (Wikipedia's picks for the date), Events, Births, Deaths, and Holidays. It reads your edition's own feed in 19 of the 32 editions and the English feed elsewhere. In the app it is part of Premium. The On This Day widget, with a photograph of the day's history, is free."},{"question": "Does WanderWiki have widgets?", "answer": "Yes, five, all free: On This Day (the day's history with a photograph), Reading Year (your streak and every day you finished an article), Continue Reading (articles you're partway through), Got a Minute (choose 2, 5, 10, or 20 minutes and it picks an article that fits), and Two Doors (one article near your interests, one far from them). Most also come in Lock Screen sizes, and on iOS 27 On This Day and Reading Year can fill a whole page. Surprise Me and Continue Reading are also controls for Control Center, the Lock Screen, and the Action button."},{"question": "Can I read articles offline?", "answer": "Yes, the ones you save. Saving an article downloads its full text, so it opens without a connection, and you can sort saved articles into folders and find them from Spotlight. A setting turns the downloads off, and Settings shows how much space they use. The swipe feed itself loads live from Wikipedia and needs a connection. Saved articles stay on the device that saved them; there is no iCloud sync."},{"question": "Does WanderWiki use a recommendation algorithm?", "answer": "Only in a small, visible way. Random is random, and Browse sticks to the topic you chose. For You starts from the topics you pick and adjusts when you press and hold a card to see less of something or hide it. That all happens on your device. WanderWiki has no analytics and no server of its own, so nothing about what you read is collected."},{"question": "Does WanderWiki have streaks or notifications?", "answer": "Yes, and both are optional. WanderWiki counts the days in a row you read something, on your Profile and in the Reading Year widget. If you allow notifications (the app asks the first time you save an article), a daily one, at 9:00 unless you change it, names the day's featured article, and a reminder can warn you when a streak is about to break. Change the time, set quiet hours, or turn them off in Settings."},{"question": "Is WanderWiki free?", "answer": "Yes, for 20 articles a day, with no card and no account. The free plan covers Random and Browse, with save, like, search, and folders, plus Listen and all five widgets, in all 32 editions. When you reach 20, the app asks you to upgrade or come back after local midnight, when the count resets. Premium unlocks For You, Today in History, and unlimited swiping for $1.99/month or $8.99/year, each with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or $24.99 once, with Family Sharing. No plan shows ads. The only other purchase is an optional $1.00 tip. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout."},{"question": "Does WanderWiki work on iPad, Mac, or Vision Pro?", "answer": "It runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18.2 or later, and on iPad it uses a sidebar layout. There is no Mac, Apple Vision Pro, Apple Watch, or web version. For a Wikipedia feed in any browser, WikiTok is a free option."},{"question": "Does WanderWiki track my reading?", "answer": "No. WanderWiki carries no analytics or third-party SDKs, needs no account, and has no server of its own. Your saved articles, likes, folders, reading progress, and streak stay on your device, and Delete My Data in Settings erases them. The app's network requests go to Wikipedia, for articles, search, and the On This Day feed, and to Wikimedia's image server for pictures, so Wikimedia sees them as it would for any Wikipedia reader. Purchases go through Apple."}],

},"faq": [{"question": "What is Xiangqiful?", "answer": "Xiangqiful is a xiangqi (Chinese chess) app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac built around one loop: learn, play, find out why, and train. It teaches the game from your first move with 80 free lessons, lets you play 40 opponents with distinct styles, and has the Pikafish engine review every move on your device. The mistakes it finds are named in xiangqi's own terms and become your next training session, alongside 902 mate puzzles and more than 150 drills. It works offline, without an account or ads."},{"question": "What is xiangqi, and how is it different from chess?", "answer": "Xiangqi is the traditional Chinese form of chess, played across China, in Vietnam as cờ tướng, and throughout the Chinese diaspora. The pieces stand on the intersections of a 9×10 grid instead of in squares, a river splits the board, and each general is confined to a 3×3 palace with its two advisors. Several pieces catch chess players out: the cannon moves like a rook but can only capture by jumping exactly one piece, the horse can be blocked at the leg, elephants cannot cross the river, and the two generals may never face each other on an open file. Most surprising of all, a player with no legal move loses (stalemate is a loss, not a draw), and perpetual check loses for the side giving it."},{"question": "Can I play without reading Chinese characters?", "answer": "Yes, and that is one of the main reasons Xiangqiful exists. Choose the western set, which uses symbols, or the hybrid set, which shows each symbol together with its character so you learn them as you play. The lessons introduce the characters one piece at a time, and you can switch to the traditional set whenever you're ready."},{"question": "Is Xiangqiful good for complete beginners?", "answer": "Yes. The Fundamentals track starts with the board and the pieces, and the lessons cover the rules that surprise newcomers. When one of them happens in your own game, such as a stalemate or a perpetual check, the app explains it on the spot. The opponent ladder starts in the Novice tier with a kid who has just learned the moves. If you already play, the 15-position skill assessment gives you a starting rating."},{"question": "What engine does Xiangqiful use?", "answer": "Pikafish, a strong open-source xiangqi engine derived from Stockfish. It is built into the app with its neural network and runs entirely on your device, so analysis needs no cloud and no account. Xiangqiful turns its output into graded moves and named mistakes. Pikafish is licensed under the GPL-3; the Licences screen in Settings names it and includes the license text."},{"question": "How strong are the opponents?", "answer": "There are 40 opponents in eight tiers, from Novice to Master. The strength shown for each is Xiangqiful's own scale, not an Elo rating from any federation. Each opponent plays a style rather than a weakened copy of the engine: aggressive, defensive, cannoneer, horse specialist, river controller, positional, endgame grinder, or balanced. Shīfu sits on rung 33, and the Sage waits at the top. The first 10 opponents are free with unlimited games, and Premium opens all 40 at once. Beat an opponent twice to mark it defeated. You can play Red, Black, or a random side."},{"question": "Can I play against other people?", "answer": "No. Xiangqiful is a single-player training app with no accounts, servers, or online matches. It is meant to make you better between the games you play with people, whether at a club, online, or in the park."},{"question": "Does Xiangqiful work offline?", "answer": "Yes. Lessons, games, the engine, analysis, training, and progress all run on your device. A connection is needed only for things Apple handles: loading prices, buying or restoring Premium, and Game Center if you use it."},{"question": "Is Xiangqiful free? What does Premium cost?", "answer": "Xiangqiful is free to download, and the free tier has no time limit: all 80 lessons, the skill assessment, unlimited games against the first 10 opponents, the first drill set in every module, 2 game analyses a day, 3 training puzzles a day (mate puzzles included), and 2 in-game coach hints a day. Premium opens all 40 opponents and every drill, removes the daily limits, and adds deep multi-line analysis, the skill profile, and weakness trends. It costs $1.99 a month or $9.99 a year, each with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or $19.99 once, and all three support Family Sharing. Prices are in USD; the App Store shows your local price. There are no ads in either tier."},{"question": "Where do the mate puzzles come from?", "answer": "There are 902 of them, from mate in 1 to mate in 7, and every one is a consecutive-check problem: each attacking move must give check. 708 come from eight classical manuals, with the Shiqing Yaqu supplying the most, and 194 are original compositions. Every line was re-checked by the app's own solver, and a book problem that does not really work was left out."},{"question": "What are the tips in Settings?", "answer": "Optional ways to support the app: Coffee, Supporter, and Huge Support. They unlock nothing, because Premium already includes every feature. They are one-time purchases handled by Apple."},{"question": "Can I analyze games I played somewhere else?", "answer": "Yes, with limits. Paste a game from the clipboard or choose a text file, as ICCS (H2-E2) or WXF (C2=5) movetext, preview it, and analyze it like any other game. Other formats such as XQF are not supported, and records from some sites may need tidying first. On the Mac you can also copy the current position as FEN or copy the game record."},{"question": "Which rules does Xiangqiful use for draws and repetition?", "answer": "Checkmate wins, and so does stalemate: having no legal move is a loss in xiangqi. Perpetual check loses for the side giving it. Threefold repetition and sixty moves without a capture are draws. The rule against perpetual chasing is not adjudicated."},{"question": "Does it support Chinese notation and simplified characters?", "answer": "Yes. Moves can be shown in WXF notation (C2=5) or in Chinese notation, and the pieces can carry traditional or simplified characters. The app comes in 40 localizations, including Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai."},{"question": "Does my progress sync between iPhone, iPad and Mac?", "answer": "No. Your games, analysis, and training progress are stored on the device you use, and there is no account or server to sync through. To unlock Premium on another iPhone or iPad, use Restore purchases there."},{"question": "Does Xiangqiful use Game Center?", "answer": "Only if you want it to; signing in is optional. Your results feed 62 achievements and eight leaderboards: estimated rating, best game accuracy, accuracy this week, longest win streak, opponents defeated, training streak, puzzles solved, and overall skill. The app also has its own Achievements screen."},{"question": "Is Xiangqiful accessible?", "answer": "Xiangqiful supports VoiceOver, with labels on the board's points, the opponent cards, the skill chart, and the controls. Arabic and Hebrew get a right-to-left setting for the board. The app is available in 40 localizations. It does not support Dynamic Type, and it uses a dark theme only."}],

Level 3 hangs a 2 and a 4 on notches 2 and 1: with the 4 far out the beam tips, and swapped it balances. Level 4 makes you choose hooks, and level 5 starts with a piece on the wrong hook. Every known weight shows its value as a numeral, while a hidden “?” is always drawn at one fixed size. A full but wrong board gives one small shudder, with no red and no buzzer. A test fails if the code that draws the level contains any text but numerals and the “?”. For accessibility, VoiceOver reads the mobile as named beams, hooks, and weights with place and return actions, a High contrast switch keeps flat colours at 4.5:1 or better, numerals follow Dynamic Type and give way to dots at the largest sizes, and Reduce Motion replaces a hidden weight's restless beam with a slow pulse.", "mentioned_apps": ["tare"]},

A beam hanging from another beam acts as one weight equal to everything below it, so solve the deepest beams first and carry their totals up. Two beams hung the same distance either side of a pivot must carry equal loads. In Tare, read the clue cards before you place anything: a beam carrying a hidden “?” will not settle, so the cards are the only way to learn its value. A card can show two sides equal, one side heavier, or a balance on unequal arms, and pieces with the same silhouette always weigh the same.

Tactics: hung piece, missed fork, missed pin, missed skewer, missed discovered attack, missed double attack, missed deflection, missed overload, back-rank threat, and smothered mate possibility. Defense: defender-removal blindness, king-safety underestimate, prophylactic skip, weakening pawn push, and wrong piece exchanged for a defender. Positional play: wrong piece traded, wrong side castled, weak square allowed, wrong pawn break, and time spent on the wrong move. Openings: repertoire drift, book move missed, and transposition into a bad line. Endgames: opposition error, king too late, wrong rook activation, drawn but played on, wrong-color bishop endgame, and technique errors in king-and-pawn and rook endgames. Chessful labels each mistake in your games with one of 10 broader types (Hanging Piece, Missed Fork, Missed Pin, Back-Rank Weakness, Poor King Safety, Passive Move, Tactical Oversight, Missed Tactic, Endgame Error, and Opening Inaccuracy), explains it in plain language, and builds daily training from those mistakes.", "mentioned_apps": ["chessful"]},
