## What is SlimByte?

Your videos eat your phone storage. SlimByte gives it back.

The Apple way — simple controls, the right options, nothing in the
way. Pick videos, choose target, hit Convert. Typical iPhone
recordings drop 70–90% in size with the quality you see kept intact.

SMART COMPRESSION
• Reduce 4K to 1080p, 720p, or any preset — or let Auto-Optimize
  pick per video
• HEVC, H.264, MP4, MOV — work with what your library already uses
• Custom bitrate control for finer-grained quality vs. size
• Adjust frame rate independently (60fps → 30fps saves real space)
• HDR → SDR conversion for sharing-friendly compatibility
• Batch convert dozens of videos in one queue

BUILT FOR iOS
• Native iOS 26 design — Liquid Glass throughout
• Background conversion that survives device lock — start a batch,
  lock your phone, come back to finished files
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen tracks per-video progress
• Saved files keep original creation date, modification date, and
  location metadata — they sit naturally next to originals in your
  Photos library
• Works on iPhone and iPad

GALLERY + LIBRARY TOOLS
• Browse and filter your videos by resolution, HDR/SDR, or date
• Preview before you convert
• Detailed info per video — resolution, duration, file size, codec

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Runs entirely on your phone — nothing uploaded, no servers, no
  cloud
• No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no accounts
• No watermarks on free or paid output — ever
• Apple's privacy nutrition label confirms minimal data collection

FREE TIER
• 10 conversions every month — refreshed automatically
• Every feature except Auto-Optimize included
• Full interface, batch processing, all formats, all quality
  controls
• No ads, no watermarks, no upsell popups during conversion

PREMIUM
• Unlimited conversions
• Auto-Optimize — SlimByte picks the right settings per video so
  you don't have to
• 1 week — $1.99
• 1 month — $2.99
• 1 year — $34.99 (works out to $2.92/month)

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-24

• Auto-Optimize now shows the expected file size for each video — and a total for the whole queue — with much more accurate predictions.
• Your quality preference is remembered between sessions.
• New filter to hide already-converted videos so it's easier to spot what's still worth shrinking.
• The "converted" badge now shows on videos stored in iCloud.
• Stability and reliability improvements throughout picking, converting, and deleting.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-05-22

SlimByte 1.0 — built end-to-end for iOS 26.

NEW
• Background conversion that survives device lock. Start a batch,
  lock your phone, come back to finished videos.
• Native Liquid Glass design throughout — menus, buttons, sheets.
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen shows per-video progress and
  the running file-size savings.
• Saved files now keep clean, readable filenames in your Photos
  library — no more long UUIDs.
• Smarter recovery: if a save needs to retry (rare), tap Continue
  on the affected video to redo it from scratch.

IMPROVEMENTS
• Faster gallery scrolling — metadata is read off the main thread
  for smoother performance with large libraries.
• Slow-mo cancel now reacts instantly.
• Better handling of iCloud-stored originals during conversion.
• Cleaner cancel + queue management throughout the batch.

If you're upgrading, your settings and saved stats carry over.
