Frequently Asked Questions

General

How do I report a bug? Email oday@saltserv.com with a description of the issue, the app name and version, and your device/OS version. Screenshots or screen recordings help a lot.

How do I request a feature? Email me with the suggestion. I’ll consider it for future updates.

Where can I find release notes? Check the blog for write-ups on major releases, or the version history in the App Store or Play Store for each app.

App-Specific Support

Cura (iOS and Android)

A mobile SSH client and Linux server monitor. See the full write-up.

• Download: App Store · Google Play
• Requirements: iOS 16+ or Android 8.0+ (API 26+), plus SSH access to the server you’re connecting to
• Common issues: Connection refused → check that your firewall allows the SSH port and that the server is reachable from your phone’s network. Authentication failed → verify the username, password, or SSH key matches the server.

Booksum (Android)

An Android book scanner with OCR, AI summaries, and flashcards. See the full write-up.

• Download: Google Play
• Requirements: Android 7.0+ (API 24), camera access for page scanning
• Common issues: OCR text looks wrong → improve lighting and make sure the page is flat and roughly framed. ISBN scan fails → some older books don’t have barcodes; add the book manually.

ADB Remote (macOS)

A native macOS GUI for ADB, logcat, Gradle, and Android device management. See the full write-up.

• Download: Gumroad
• Requirements: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later, Android SDK with adb in your PATH, Java 17+ (bundled in the DMG)
• Common issues: Device not detected → enable USB debugging on the Android device and authorize the connection prompt. ADB not found → either install Android SDK Platform Tools, or let ADB Remote use its bundled version.

Murmur (iOS)

A voice-capture app that transcribes you on-device and turns the transcript into a clean note. Reminders are parsed and scheduled locally.

• Download: App Store
• Requirements: iOS 17+ and an iPhone with Apple Silicon-class hardware (the on-device model needs Metal)
• Common issues: First launch downloads the ~1 GB language model over Wi-Fi — after that it works fully offline. Transcription not starting → grant microphone and speech-recognition permission in Settings.

Islamic baby names: Ismi (Android)

An Islamic and Arabic baby-name app. Swipe through curated names with Arabic script, transliteration, meaning, and a cited source. An iOS version is on the way.

• Download: Google Play
• Requirements: Android 8.0 (API 26) or later
• Common issues: Pronunciation silent → Ismi uses your device’s text-to-speech voices; install a voice for the language in your system settings. Everything else works offline; no account is needed.

Textrix (iOS)

An iOS text utility for paraphrasing in 30 languages, summarising long passages, and extracting text from PDFs. See the full write-up.

• Download: App Store
• Requirements: iOS 16+
• Common issues: Rephrase or summary fails → check your internet connection (the AI call needs network). PDF won’t extract text → the PDF likely has scanned images rather than a text layer; Textrix uses PDFKit which needs real text.

Marjai (iOS, Android)

An offline Arabic reader for Shia fiqh rulings — the verbatim books of Sayyid Sistani and Sayyid Fadlallah with smart Arabic search and bookmarks. See the full write-up.

• Download: App Store · Google Play
• Requirements: none beyond the OS — fully offline, no account, no permissions
• Common issues: First launch shows a loading screen → the bundled texts are being imported once; subsequent launches are instant. A ruling looks different from what you remember → texts are reproduced verbatim from the official published sources; for taqlid questions, verify with your marjaʿ’s office.

Privacy and Data

I take privacy seriously, and the apps are built around the principle of doing as much locally as possible:

• No personal data collection unless explicitly required for a feature
• No data sales to third parties, ever
• Anonymized analytics when used, purely to improve the app
• Local processing for most things — OCR, server stats, SSH credentials, and location data stay on your device

Refunds

For purchases made through the App Store or Mac App Store, refund requests are handled by Apple. You can request a refund through Apple’s Report a Problem page.

For Google Play purchases, request refunds through the Play Store refund policy.

For Gumroad purchases (ADB Remote), email me and we’ll sort it out.
