fastbackward vs Renamely

Have you ever wondered what you were doing on this day last year? Or the year before? What about the year before that? With fastbackward you'll not only know, but have your photos to remind you, too. Taking photos is great, but looking at those photos is where the real fun begins. Your iPhone takes stunning photos but it needs fastbackward to surface the most important photos at the right time. Your iPhone is full of photos but they're a jumbled mess in the Photos app. What makes fastbackward so valuable is the way it surfaces photos you took today, but in years past. You'll see your kids growing up as well as any big life events that happened on this day, too. Didn't take a photo on this day? Fastbackward can show you a random memory instead. As well as showing you your photos and jogging your memory, fastbackward will also use your photos' EXIF data to plot where you took them on a map. You'll never wonder where you took your favourite landscape photo ever again. Features include: - The ability to exclude screenshots from your memories.
- Privacy. Because your photos are hugely personal, fastbackward doesn't upload any of them to the internet. All of the processing is carried out on your device, right where it should be. - EXIF data used to display a map of where you took your photos.

Need to rename a pile of photos or files at once — IMG_4821 to Trip_001, or scans to 2026-07-18_Receipt? Renamely batch-renames them on your iPhone with text, a number sequence and a date, and shows every new name before anything changes. Choose photos, files or a whole folder, build a name pattern, check the live preview, then rename. • NAME PATTERNS — your own text at the start, optionally followed by the original file name, a number sequence and a date. Choose the separator: underscore, hyphen, space or period. • NUMBER SEQUENCE — pick the starting number and 1 to 4 digits (1, 01, 001 or 0001). • DATES FROM THE FILE OR THE PHOTO — use the file date or the date the photo was taken (EXIF), in formats like 2026-07-18, 20260718, 2026-07-18_1430 or Jul 18 2026. • LIVE PREVIEW — see the new names before you commit. Duplicate names get _2, _3 … automatically, so nothing is overwritten. • RENAME A FOLDER IN PLACE — pick a folder in Files and its files are renamed right there, safely in two steps so no file clobbers another. • PHOTOS AND FILES — save the renamed copies to Photos under their new names, or to Files, or share them; the originals are left as they are. Good to know: the Photos library itself doesn't let apps rename pictures, so photos come out as renamed copies. Folder renaming covers the files directly inside the chosen folder, not subfolders or hidden files. File extensions are kept. Everything runs on your iPhone — your files are never uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free on up to 3 files. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited renaming. No subscription, no ads.
