YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – Besides the cold weather, I don’t like the winter season because the daylight time is short. I usually have dry skin, but I don’t this winter.

Anyway, the other software title of the double releases that I talked about in the last article is Sweet Hotel Work 2. It’s an iOS app for iPhone and iPad users.

Sweet Hotel Central 2 helps you run your hotel business whether you have hundreds of daily guests or are just renting vacant rooms after your kids left home for college. Sweet Hotel Central 2 lets you create room and guest records so that you can book reservations and maintain schedule on the weekly basis. Sweet Hotel Work 2 works with this desktop application side by side and lets you stay alert on the status of guest rooms while you are away from hotel management. It is designed such that you as a room service or repair service representative and a hotel manager share information remotely on the status (out of service, open, checked-in…) of each room.   Continue reading →

横浜 (トマトソフトウェア) – やっと冬至も過ぎ、少しホットしているこの頃ですが、この寒い中皆さんは如何お過ごしでしょうか？やはり寒い冬はイヤですね。夏も暑くて辛いですが、夏の方がまだマシです。自分は冬が大の苦手で、手のアカギレにかなり苦しんでいます。
　さて今日紹介する製品は7年以上に前に出荷した「Family Track」という製品の更新版です。「更新版」とは言っても、確かに製品を使う意図は同じでも完全にUIをSwiftUIで書き直し、「Family Track」にあるコードは全く参考にしなかったので、全くの別製品として仕上がりました。この「更新版」たる製品とはその名も「位置だよ戦隊2」です。
　「位置だよ戦隊2」は仲間同士で位置情報を共有するのが主な目的のiOS用（iPhone及びiPad）のアプリです。例えば、会社の同部署で働く人達に追随してもらうことで、ボタンを1回押すだけでその人達に同じ情報を同時に送ることができます。情報の受け取り側を「追随者」または「Follower」と言いますが、本アプリの地図に招待者（Leaders）のアイコンと名前が表示されます。個々のLeaderが発信ボタンをタップすると、その人の位置と簡単なメッセージが相手に即座に伝わります。しかも追随者達は通知を受けるので、誰が位置を更新したかがすぐに分かるのです。   Continue reading →

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 →
