YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – Super Highlight Mobile is an iOS app for iPhone and iPad users that exclusively works with PDF documents. You can use it to highlight a selection of text with a color you select. It’s not just a single selection of text. You can highlight every single occurrence of text you enter in a text field throughout the document with the tap of a button. Moreover, you can remove all highlighters with the tap of a button as well. Additionally, you can turn on or off the case-insensitive switch and then tap the Highlight All button if case sensitivity is important to you.

Super Highlight Mobile supports a full undo/redo stack. You can undo and redo the last highlight action by tapping the orange Undo or Redo button. If you change the highlight color, you can undo it as well.

Super Highlight Mobile isn’t an ordinary iOS app that works with PDF documents. It works side by side with its macOS counterpart (Super Highlight Desktop). You can push the revised PDF document with the tap of a button so that you can view it with the macOS counterpart. Super Highlight Mobile also lets you fetch all PDF documents pushed by Macs and other iOS devices of yours with the tap of a button. Just make sure that they all use the same iCloud account so that you can share PDF documents across different devices.   Continue reading →

YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – ここのところ雨続きの日々の連続ですが、皆さんどのようにお過ごしでしょうか？関東地方で9月にこれほど連続して雨が降るのはあまり記憶がありません。確か2015年の4月に雨日が長く続いたのは覚えています。しかも最高気温が30度になったり、次の日にそれが21・2度に下がることもあるので、皆さん体調管理に気を付けてください。

さて久々に日本語化にしたアプリを紹介します。この製品は日本人の方々だけに使ってもらうためのiPhoneとiPad用のアプリです。だから標準言語が日本語になっています。製品名は「薬の時間ですよ」と言います。

日本で一般に普及している薬の服用の仕方は海外ではあまり見当たりませんね。日本では食前30分とか食後2時間以内とかいう服用の仕方が一般的です。もし服用薬が1種類であれば服用時間を間違えることはないかもしれませんが、それが3種類・4種類となると、それらの服用時間を間違えないようにするのにも気遣いが必要でしょう。そのような方々のためにつくったのがこの「薬の時間ですよ」です。名前のごとく、この製品ではそれぞれの薬に対して服用時間を設定することができ、服用時間になる度に端末に通知が送られます。またそれぞれの薬に対して毎日服用するのか、或いは特定の曜日を設定することができ、毎日その日にだけ服用する薬の情報が画面下に列挙され、しかも服用方法（食前・食後30分など）も確認することができます。

「薬の時間ですよ」では薬の服用済み・未服用をそれぞれの登録薬に関して毎日記録できるようになっています。「服用済み」にしたい場合は時間のボタンをタップすることで、右横の「未服用」の表示が「服用済み」に変わり、戻したい場合は同じ時間のボタンをタップするだけです。もし服用履歴を確認したい場合は、画面上で特定の服用薬のアイコンをタップした後に右にスクロールして「記録」ボタンをタップすることで、その薬の全服用履歴を確認することができます。

もし複数のiOS端末を使っているのであれば、登録した服用薬の情報を他の端末で再度入力する必要はありません。同じiCloudアカウントを使うことで1つの端末で登録した服用薬の情報は自動的に他の端末にも共有されからです。ただ服用履歴は共有されないのでご注意ください。  Continue reading →

YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – An unusual rainy season continues. I have not been able to go jogging for two straight days. I hope I can today. But the latest forecast says that it will start raining at 3 PM. If that’s the case, my stress will pile up even higher.

Well, I had nothing to develop. But I have to keep going, you know? So a desperate software release that I announce today is Audio Levels.

Audio Levels is an iPhone & iPad app that lets you measure audio levels with your device through its microphone. Make sure you know where the microphone is located on your device. Then tap the Start button, and the app will continuously measure audio levels with minimum and maximum decibel values.

When you return to the main screen, you will get the minimum and maximum audio levels from the last trial. When you quit and then open the app, you will see those last values at the top.   Continue reading →

YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – It’s really strange. The rainy season ended a few months ago, but it rained a few times last week. And the latest weather forecast suggests that it will rain daily for the next 7 days or so. Although I don’t like the scorching summer, when the month transitions to August to September, I feel as if the year were almost over. That’s why I don’t quite like September. Yet, since it’s been raining, there’s no indication that the last summer ended just a few weeks ago.

Anyway, I have double releases to announce today. The first software title to introduce to you is an iOS app titled Nopac Mobile.

Nopac Mobile is an iPad-only iOS app that is designed for college students who use their devices to regularly take notes during lectures. It has basic writing style features such as bolding, italicizing, underlining, colorizing a text segment. Nopac Mobile also supports the Undo/Redo stack such that you can tap the Undo button to undo the last text style change.

Nopac Mobile isn’t just a simple word processor for mobile devices. When you register a course, you can create a list of keywords for all sessions so that you can tap one to insert the selected keyword to the note document of the selected session. Additionally, you can attach one or more photos to each document by tapping the Add Image button.

If you have multiple devices, Macs or iPads, you can share your notes among them. The desktop counterpart is Nopac Desktop. You can push data on your iPad so that you can read and edit the same notes on your Mac. With the tap of a button, you can fetch notes that are pushed on other devices of yours as long as they all share the same iCloud account. No, there is no special account required to share data between your devices. Just make sure they are all logged into the same iCloud account.

With the tap of a button, you can export selected lecture notes as a PDF file or an RTF file. The export options are available in the Settings sheet. Tap the Settings toolbar button at the Startup screen for more information.   Continue reading →

YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – This is another day of double releases. It’s quite tiring to release macOS application and its iOS counterpart because you have create all metadata images and preview videos. If your iOS app supports both the iPhone and the iPad, you have to do the same twice. Anyway, the second release is called Notes2Me Mobile.

Notes2Me Mobile is an iOS app for iPhone and iPad users with which you can exchange data with other devices of yours even with a Mac as long as they share the same iCloud account. The desktop counterpart of Notes2Me Mobile is Notes2Me.

The startup screen is divided into two parts, the receiver side and the sender side. The left pane lists the records you have received from other devices. The right pane lists the records you have sent to other devices. A record you have received may contain one or more files.

Just like the desktop counterpart, when you send a record to your iPhone or iPad from another device (Mac, iPhone, iPad), the app will not automatically fetch records. You can subscribe to record creation so that your iOS device will receive a notification whenever you push a new record to the iCloud server.

In order to fetch records from iCloud, simply tap the Fetch toolbar button. And Notes2Me Mobile will only download unique records that don’t exist locally. With the tap of a button, you can remove the original record from the iCloud server. Similarly, you can remove all records in the iCloud server with the tap of a button.

A record you have received from a Mac or another iOS device may contain one or more attachments. Regardless of the OS difference, you can save these attachments through Files.app by opening the Files disclosure view and tapping the orange button with the downward-looking arrow.   Continue reading →
