TOKYO (Tom Bluewater) – It was terribly hot till last week, and the weather is now quite mild around the Tokyo area. Yeah, it’s been a lovely fall weather! Anyway, I’m ready to introduce a new iOS app to you. This new software submission to Apple’s App Store is called CopyReady 3i.

CopyReady 3i is the revival of a 15-year-old desktop application title, and a direct conversion of a desktop application titled CopyReady 3. Just like the desktop version, it lets you manage three different types of files: Text, Image and URL. After you create a group, open the copy item menu and tap the Cr button to create copy items. When you tap a light blue copy item button under the current group button (in red), CopyReady will copy the corresponding text content into the system clipboard. So you can use it long-pressing and selecting Paste with other apps. When you tap an orange copy item button, CopyReady will copy the corresponding image into the system clipboard. You can preview it with this app, or you can use it with other apps by long-press and selecting Paste. Finally, tap a light green copy item button, and CopyReady will open the corresponding URL with your default web browser.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (Tom Bluewater) – Rainy, rainy, rainy…. It’s been raining lately in the Tokyo area, I think, because a typhoon is approaching the main island. Fortunately, it’s not terribly hot.

Well, I’m releasing a 4th iOS app of the month. Yes, I’m aware that I had the last one just four days ago. This new release is called My Overtime.

I have a lot of development projects that I work on that don’t come out of my work computers. One of them is a desktop application project where I have ended up making a macOS application that lets me record overtime hours. I need it because I had to add up all overtime hours at the end of each month and issue an invoice against a company that I worked for. My Overtime is an iOS conversion of this home-grown desktop application that lets you manage your overtime hours and show cumulative numbers each month.   Continue reading →
