PhoneCopy

PhoneCopy backs up, stores, restores, and synchronizes personal data between mobile devices and the cloud. It handles contacts, calendars, SMS messages, photos, and videos from mobile devices, and can back up documents from PC and Mac. Users can send data to the cloud, restore it to a device, or synchronize in both directions. PhoneCopy says photos and videos retain their original resolution and quality. The service lists Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and web platforms, and says it supports more than 11,000 devices. Basic includes 500 contacts, calendar events, tasks, and notes each, two devices, and a 1 GB media pack. Premium costs €1.99 per month and includes unlimited listed data items and devices, a 2.5 GB media pack, a one-year deleted-data archive, and priority support. Larger media-pack options range from 50 GB for €2.99 per month to 1000 GB for €9.99 per month. The company is based in Prague, Czech Republic.

SMS

SMS is a free, open-source Sega Master System emulator written in Go for Linux. Its source repository is public on GitHub and described as MIT licensed. The emulator provides complete Zilog Z80 emulation and is described as concurrent. Graphics use an SDL backend with a 2x scaler and fullscreen support. Keyboard controls map the arrow keys to joypad directions, X to Fire 1, and Z to Fire 2. The README documents a Go installation command and shows launching an SMS ROM with the supplied executable. Sound support is listed as a project todo, and writing more tests is also listed as a todo. The stated free and open-source plan costs nothing. The project is focused on Sega Master System emulation, with the listed display and keyboard controls defining its documented user-facing operation.
