## Tob - Simple Tool Boxes for iOS

The modern smartphone has become the quintessential Swiss Army knife of the digital age. We rely on it for communication, navigation, entertainment, and increasingly, productivity. Yet, despite the abundance of apps available, finding simple, focused tools for everyday tasks can be surprisingly difficult. Many apps are bloated with unnecessary features, convoluted interfaces, or intrusive advertising, making the simple act of performing a quick calculation or converting a unit of measurement a frustrating experience. Tob aims to solve this problem. Tob is a collection of lightweight, easy-to-use toolboxes designed specifically for iOS, prioritizing speed, efficiency, and a clean, intuitive user experience.

The philosophy behind Tob is centered around the idea of "just enough." Each toolbox within the app focuses on a specific set of related functions, eliminating distractions and streamlining the user experience. Instead of a single, monolithic app attempting to do everything, Tob offers modular toolboxes that users can download and use independently. This approach allows for a smaller app footprint, faster loading times, and a more focused experience.

Currently, Tob offers several toolboxes, including:

* **Unit Converter:** Quickly convert between various units of measurement, including length, weight, volume, temperature, currency, and more. The interface is designed for speed, allowing users to input values and see the converted results instantly. Future updates will include the ability to customize the list of displayed units and save frequently used conversions.

* **Calculator:** A simple yet powerful calculator that handles basic arithmetic operations, percentages, and scientific functions. The clean interface prioritizes clarity and ease of use, making quick calculations a breeze. Future development will explore the addition of a history feature and support for more advanced mathematical operations.

* **Timer & Stopwatch:** A straightforward timer and stopwatch for tracking time. Users can set multiple timers with custom labels and receive alerts upon completion. The stopwatch function offers lap timing and the ability to save and share results. Future enhancements will include integration with Siri shortcuts for voice control and a more visually appealing display of elapsed time.

* **Level:** Utilizing the device's accelerometer, the Level toolbox provides a simple and accurate digital level. It can be used for tasks like hanging pictures, leveling shelves, or ensuring furniture is properly aligned. Future updates will explore the addition of a bubble level view and the ability to calibrate the level for increased accuracy.

* **Random Number Generator:** Generate random numbers within a specified range, with options for integers, decimals, and dice rolls. This toolbox is useful for everything from making decisions to playing games. Future development will include the ability to generate lists of random numbers and different probability distributions.


The core principles driving Tob's development are:

* **Simplicity:** The focus is on providing clean, uncluttered interfaces that are easy to understand and use. Every feature is designed with the goal of minimizing cognitive load and maximizing efficiency.

* **Speed:** Tob is built for speed. Toolboxes launch quickly, calculations are performed instantly, and conversions happen in real-time. The app is optimized to minimize lag and provide a responsive experience.

* **Privacy:** User data is treated with respect. Tob does not collect or share any personal information. No internet connection is required for most functionalities, ensuring user privacy is protected.

* **Modularity:** The toolbox approach allows users to choose only the tools they need, reducing app bloat and maximizing efficiency. New toolboxes are constantly being developed and added to the collection, providing users with a growing library of useful tools.

* **Accessibility:** Tob is designed to be accessible to as many users as possible. The interface is designed with clear visual cues and large, easy-to-tap buttons. Future updates will focus on improving accessibility features for users with visual or motor impairments.


The long-term vision for Tob is to become the go-to resource for simple, efficient tools on iOS. By focusing on user needs and prioritizing a clean, intuitive experience, Tob aims to simplify everyday tasks and empower users to be more productive. Future development will explore the addition of new toolboxes, including a currency converter with real-time exchange rates, a note-taking tool, a voice recorder, and a QR code scanner. User feedback will be a key driver in shaping the future of Tob, ensuring the app continues to meet the evolving needs of its users. The team behind Tob is committed to creating a truly valuable and indispensable tool for the iOS platform.
