Twelve tools
A calculator for the job site, a tracker for the jobs a house needs, a chess
clock for the table and a combat tracker for the game master. Then a trading
card maker for kids, a centering checker for card collectors, a Morse code and
cipher teacher, a music practice log, a prayer list for every faith and a
method finder for math homework. Then a tide pool guide for the Pacific
Northwest coast, and a crisis guide for a bad week. The one thing they share is that none of them
pays you. There are no coins, no balance and no cash-out.
Ads and accounts, app by app
Community Stress First Aid is the only thing we publish with no advertising in
it at all, so it has no privacy disclosures to make. Househand carries one
banner ad and an optional sign-in, and its privacy policy says what each one
sends. Its try page is a demo with a sample house and neither. Handyman Calc
has a banner and an occasional full-screen ad but no account at all. In the
browser it runs with neither.
The other nine have no account, and each keeps its banner away from the screen
you’re working in. Chess Clock & Scorepad never shows it on the clock, and
Initiative Tracker never shows it on the tracker. Card Lab has one on its home
screen and none while a card is being made. Dead Center’s one banner is never on
screen while a card is being measured. Covert Mail puts its one banner on the
desk, never during a mission or on the cipher desk. Practice Proof’s sits
on the home screen and never appears while it listens. Those two mark
every ad request as directed at children. Let Them Pray keeps its banner under
the prayer list, never where you write, sit, read the journal or share. It
shows Apple’s tracking prompt when it opens. Which Formula shows its
banner on the home screen, the cheat sheet and the method pages, never on
the questions or in the drill. Low Tide Explorer puts its banner at the foot
of the Tides and Logbook tabs, never on the shore guide or an animal’s page.
