Hi Folks
Long story short: I was tired to use too many app to handle my personal data, file, images.
being a developer and support technician I deal with many customer (Cnc machines) and sometimes I need to keep track of what I said during the assistance, other time I need to send and image and of course I use whatsapp where I can barely draw with my finger something around a device on the machine and so on. other time I need to scan quickly a document… too many apps to coordinate, I wanted something that wasn’t on the App Store. so I made it.
I named my app xDesk, like extended Desk, meaning that you can handle a lot of thing from just one please: record and transcribe, protect your folder, share folder with customers or collaborators, scan document and most of all create your own data sheet, or extend the ones that are already present on the app. The most important point? no external servers besides iCloud. app is using your iCloud account to save your data, but you can also choose to save them just on your iPhone. You don’t need a registration, I don’t want to know your name, your email nothing. the app identify you through the id of your iCloud account. and everything rotate around your PRIVATE iCloud space. I need it I made it.
If you wanna test it:
(being a very extended app there is also a guide and some tutorial, just press the ? )
Please if you need to report a bug or make a suggestion use the TestFlight interface and not (for nom, is a beta) the contact in the app
Hey, thanks for being willing to revise this. The CNC support origin is interesting; you maintain support tickets in here? Or just organize files by customer?
I can also maintain support tickets. in fact the app also has a specific section where you can also define a json and connect to a rest api server to exchange data about a ticket or something else.
you know usually I support by phone our customer or our technician where they are onsite, and especially when I deal with customer there is now way that everything is clear. one of the main reason to create the app was: I need a way to take a photo and annotate it precisely, with text, to make my customer do something. (this was of course just one of the reason). another reason was that my daughter needed (for his work) an audio recorder that also transcribe what is being said. this app does also this without using external servers. but really most of all (and I conclude) I needed something where I can literally define my own datasheet, extend them, organise the layout, to keep easily my data…
