Socket Buddy: Plugs & Voltage

Traveling with the wrong plug or the wrong voltage can fry your charger — or worse. Socket Buddy tells you, in seconds, exactly what you need for any of 200+ countries: plug type, voltage, frequency, and whether your devices are safe to use as-is, with an adapter, or need a voltage converter. WHAT SOCKET BUDDY DOES • Browse plug types & sockets for 200+ countries — clear diagrams, voltage, frequency, and every plug standard in use there. • Set your home country once and get instant compatibility badges everywhere: Compatible, Adapter needed, or Converter required. • Plan a trip — pick your destination and dates, then add the devices you're packing (phone charger, hair dryer, CPAP, laptop, camera gear…) and get a per-device safety verdict for where you're going. • Scan a device's label with your camera — Socket Buddy reads the voltage and frequency printed on the label for you, using on-device text recognition and Apple Intelligence support where available. Nothing leaves your iPhone. • Star the countries you keep coming back to, with home-screen and lock-screen widgets that always show the right plug at a glance — plus a countdown to whichever trip is next. • Apple Watch support keeps plug details on your wrist — see your saved countries, home country, and the full country list at a glance. • Siri voice commands and Spotlight search let you open a country or view your home country. • Works fully offline. Private iCloud sync keeps your data across your own devices — never shared with anyone else. ACCESSIBILITY Socket Buddy is built to work with the accessibility features you already rely on: • VoiceOver support — country rows, plug details and device verdicts are read as complete sentences instead of a pile of fragments, and the spoken labels are translated, not just the text on screen. • Dynamic Type support — flags and icons scale with your text, and screens reflow rather than truncating what matters. • Compatibility never relies on color alone — every verdict carries its own symbol and wording alongside the color. • The Reduce Motion setting is respected throughout. WHY SOCKET BUDDY Socket Buddy was built by a solo traveler tired of guessing whether a socket would fit, or whether "230V" was going to be a problem. It's fast, offline-first, and doesn't try to be anything other than the plug-and-voltage app it needs to be.
