Noir - Dark Mode for Safari - Jeffrey Kuiken

Noir - Dark Mode for Safari
Jeffrey Kuiken
Genre: Utilities
Price: $3.99
Release Date: September 20, 2021

Noir is a Safari extension that automatically adds a dark mode to every website you visit.

It makes browsing the web at night so much better. With Noir, you won’t be blinded by bright websites ever again.

And the results look great too. Noir generates a custom dark style for each website you visit, based on the colors that are used on a page. You won’t even notice this happening in the background – that’s how fast it is – but you’ll certainly appreciate the end result: a beautiful dark mode tailored for each website, where contrast is preserved and highlights still pop. And with over 20 built-in themes and the ability to create your own, you can customize the results exactly the way you want.

Noir works with any website you visit in Safari, automatically. By default, Noir is linked to your device’s Dark Mode, so websites will only go dark when you want them to. But you can easily customize this to your liking, even per website. Only want to use Noir on just a few specific websites? Sure thing! Disable Noir on some websites? No problem!

Built from the ground up for iOS and iPadOS, the app feels right at home on your device. It supports the brand new Safari web extension feature, which means there’s no need to manually activate it every time you load a new page. The app also tightly integrates with system features such as Shortcuts, Focus Filters, and Widgets to fully integrate Noir in all your workflows. And your settings are automatically synced to all your devices using iCloud.

And just as importantly, Noir takes your privacy seriously: it doesn’t collect any of your browsing data. Period.

Noir is made by an indie iOS developer. It does not include any subscriptions or ads. Buy Noir once, use it forever.

Notes:
• Found a website where Noir’s dark mode doesn’t look just right? Let me know by reporting it. The app will be frequently updated to address issues that are reported.

Privacy Policy:
• The Noir extension requires access to the websites you visit to analyze the existing style of the page and to override it with Noir's dark style.
• Noir never collects your browsing data. The only data Noir ‘collects’ are your settings, and those will never leave your device or iCloud account.
• You can read Noir’s full Privacy Policy at https://getnoir.app/privacypolicy

Watch app for Tesla - Kim Hansen

Watch app for Tesla
Kim Hansen
Genre: Utilities
Price: $6.99
Release Date: May 13, 2020

Convenience on the wrist - Watch app for Tesla is the ideal companion in day to day life with your Tesla vehicle. These are just a few of the day to day conveniences this app will help achieve:

- Pair your watch as a proper vehicle key, just like your phone! Works under all conditions, including in underground parking garages or in the middle of a desert!

- Forgot to plug in? Get a notification if vehicle is in a pre-configured location and not plugged in - all done directly on the watch, no external servers required, keeping your privacy!

- Add the graphic corner complication to your watch face and enjoy the convenience of having easy access to state of charge, charging indicator, time remaining if charging, sentry mode active indicator and indicator if any windows, doors or trunks are open. All from one complication, that also will launch the app when tapped.

- During and after charge, a panel will show how much energy was added. Convenient if you schedule your charge during the night - wake up each morning and easily check how much energy was added to the battery.

- If you have multiple vehicles on your account, tap the vehicle name to quickly and easily switch between them.

- You can queue up commands by tapping on buttons, then put your wrist down and the commands will execute in the background when the vehicle is successfully woken up.

- When you tap the unlock vehicle button, the charge port will also unlock if a charging cable is attached. That's convenience right there!

- Want to reduce phantom drain? Background updates can be configured to longer intervals between updates or to only update if car is already awake or can be disabled entirely for absolutely zero impact on phantom drain.

- A warning panel will show up if any doors, windows or trunks are left open. Conveniently, you can tap the panel to close any open windows.

- Need to access the frunk? Just do it from your wrist - no fiddling with your phone.

- Sitting comfy in the couch, but just remembered you have a road-trip in the morning? Set the charge limit to 100% - or any value really - and start charging, right from the convenience of your wrist!

- Leaving the office after a long hot day? Activate the HVAC when you're on your way, and enjoy a nice cool vehicle.

- When charging, tap the time remaining label to switch to show time of expected completion - no more head calculus!

- Need to run a quick errand, but you don't have your phone? Unlock your vehicle from your wrist, then activate remote start and off you go. Just please be mindful that this feature requires internet connectivity on both watch and vehicle - so don't drive into the desert and leave your vehicle, or you'll get stuck there!

A note about security and privacy:
This app uses the Tesla Fleet API for authentication. Your account credentials are never stored in the app, but are used only once to obtain an authentication token and refresh token directly from the Tesla Fleet API servers. Tokens will be revoked if you change your Tesla account password. As part of the Tesla Fleet API, it is required that parts of the authentication flow and vehicle commands execution pass through non-Tesla controlled infrastructure. In this case an in-flight encrypted ACCESS token with a lifespan of 8 hours will be transmitted and stored ONLY WHILE COMMAND IS EXECUTING. No logs og analytics are ever kept or performed on this traffic. The source code for this application will at all times be made available to any security researcher for a voluntary security and safety audit.

Disclaimer:
This app is not endorsed by Tesla Inc. Use at your own risk. No guarantee of proper function is given. Only you are responsible for any changes to your car caused by using this app.

Transcend Theory - chris rogers

Transcend Theory
chris rogers
Genre: Utilities
Price: $17.99
Release Date: April 16, 2024

Transcend Theory:

This app is designed to generate random words.

What the app does:

The idea behind this app is to see if random formations of letters can create words and sounds of meaning. When you press the play button letters from an alphabet list will begin a random formation process at various lengths and intervals. These formations will be used to generate vocal sounds. Text transcriptions of these sounds can be used by turning on the Transcribe feature. The Filter feature of the app can be used to trim and "clean up" these audio clips to produce a more easily understandable interpretation.
The result of this process will produce random words and vocal sounds.

Settings:

In the settings you will find a voice speed slider that can be used to speed up or slow down the voice sounds being produced. The reverb audio effect can be used to create a more spacious sound. A text log will store any text transcriptions you receive. The filter strength option of Low, Medium, and High will determine the amount of the audio segments that can be removed before regenerating a new audio clip.

For entertainment purposes only.
