Read full descriptionHide full description
Nano Sparrow brings long screenshots, animation export, photo organization, and everyday records into one app. Find a tool by category or search, preview the result, then save or share it. Images and video • Long screenshots: import overlapping screenshots, screen recordings, or videos; arrange or select the input; generate a long image and preview, save, or share it. • Animation Maker: choose one video, trim a segment, and export a Live Photo or GIF. Choose a Live Photo cover and retry failed saves. Adjust GIF frame rate and size, preview its animation, then save or share. • Multi-photo selection: select using the upper-right circle, or tap the photo to preview. Select or deselect in the preview while preserving order. • Photo cleanup: review photos and similar groups, mark what to keep or delete, then confirm deletion. Swiping alone does not delete an asset. • Camera: capture photos and videos, review them inside the app, and choose when to save or share. Calculations, reminders, and records • Date calculator: add or subtract intervals, compare dates, copy results, and revisit history. • Local notifications: schedule time, countdown, or location reminders; review, edit, or cancel them. • Mood journal: record how you feel with optional text, images, and other details; revisit entries in history or a calendar. • Journaling suggestions: select and save suggestions provided by iOS on supported systems. More tools • Nearby Chat: exchange an invitation code with a contact outside the app, pair nearby, then confirm the first conversation on both devices. Includes text filtering, user reports, and blocking. No public stranger list or random matching. • Screen viewing: watch a screen broadcast in a browser on the same network. The host must currently stay in the foreground. • Smoke lookup: look up or contribute vehicle smoke reports using mainland Chinese plates. No reports does not mean smoke-free. Before you start Media processing and chat history stay on your device. Nearby Chat requires local-network access and a reachable peer. You edit and explicitly send a report draft; nothing is uploaded before you confirm sending. Smoke lookup sends the plate to an online service; reporting also sends the verdict and a device identifier used to limit duplicate reports. Permissions are used by the relevant features. Location reminders depend on system permission and trigger conditions. Journaling Suggestions requires iOS 17.2 or later and available system suggestions. The mood journal does not provide a medical diagnosis. Feedback, reports, and help: 176547352@qq.com Privacy policy: https://www.nanosparrow.com/privacy/

CloudDrive2 brings all your cloud storage together in one powerful app. Access, manage, and stream files across multiple cloud services — no switching between apps. UNIFIED CLOUD MANAGEMENT Connect all your cloud accounts in one place: Google Drive, OneDrive, Aliyun Drive, Baidu Pan, 115, S3, WebDAV, and more. Browse, search, copy, move, rename, and organize files across clouds with a clean, intuitive interface. On iPad, a Finder-style Columns view and a file inspector panel make large libraries easy to navigate. EMBY & JELLYFIN CLIENT WITH DIRECT STREAM Connect your own Emby or Jellyfin servers and browse your libraries with posters, cast, and Continue Watching. When your CloudDrive can reach the same file, Direct Stream plays it straight from the cloud — bypassing the server transcoder for full-quality playback of formats servers can't transcode, while your watch history stays in sync. AI SUBTITLE TRANSLATION Generate translated subtitles for any video: CloudDrive2 translates the existing subtitle track (including PGS bitmap subtitles via on-device OCR) or falls back to speech recognition when there is none. Uses Apple's on-device translation models — free and private — or your own API. Generated subtitles are saved next to the video, ready to reuse on all your devices. POWERFUL MEDIA PLAYER Built-in video player with hardware-accelerated decoding supports H.264, H.265/HEVC, AV1, HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision — including true Dolby Vision playback of Profile 7 Blu-ray content. Stream directly from the cloud without downloading. Picture-in-Picture, per-track audio/subtitle delay, subtitle styling, and HDR subtitle brightness control included. BLU-RAY ISO PLAYBACK WITH DISC MENUS Play Blu-ray ISO images directly from your cloud storage — now with native disc menu navigation: scene selection, colored shortcut keys, in-menu audio/subtitle setup, even 2D+3D combo discs. Disc menus cover HDMV discs; BD-J (Java) discs play the main feature directly. MULTICHANNEL & DOLBY ATMOS Dolby Atmos (Dolby Digital Plus) bitstreams to your AVR over HDMI. TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS decode in full and reach multichannel USB DACs, HDMI adapters and AirPlay 2 as 5.1 or 7.1 — never folded to stereo. AirPods Pro/Max get head-tracked spatial audio instead. AUDIOPHILE-GRADE DSD & SACD DSD files (.dsf, .dff) and SACD ISO images stream straight from the cloud — including multichannel DSD in true 5.1. DoP output feeds compatible DACs bit-perfectly, and background playback keeps the music going. PDF READER Read PDFs streamed from the cloud — no full download needed. Zoom, page thumbnails, bookmarks, and reading-position memory. MOVIE LIBRARY METADATA Reads your local .nfo files and poster/fanart/logo artwork (Plex/Jellyfin/Emby naming) for rich movie info — no online scraping, your library stays private. CROSS-CLOUD TRANSFERS Copy or move files between cloud providers. Transfer manager with pause, resume, retry, throttling, and concurrency control. Upload folders recursively. BACKUP & SYNC Automated backup tasks with scheduling, plus photo library backup. FILES APP INTEGRATION Full File Provider extension — access your cloud files from the iOS/iPadOS Files app and any app using the document picker. CloudDrive2 can also act as an external player for other apps via the clouddrive:// URL scheme. SECURITY Two-factor authentication, encrypted folders, and session monitoring. A built-in WebDAV server shares your cloud files with your other devices, and API tokens grant scoped, expiring access. ADVANCED FEATURES • Disk cache with configurable eviction • Multiple view modes: list, grid, gallery, columns • Open in third-party players (Infuse, VLC, nPlayer) • Dark and light themes Some advanced playback features (Emby/Jellyfin client, AI subtitles, Blu-ray disc playback, DSD/SACD) require the optional App Pro upgrade, available as an in-app purchase.
