Read full descriptionHide full description
iToolkit replaces a handful of single-purpose utility subscriptions with one app: 17 tools, one plan, and everything processed on your iPhone. No account. No ads. No tracking. WHY ITOOLKIT • Everything stays on your iPhone. Photos, recordings, documents and 2FA codes are never uploaded. • Undo anything for 30 days. Every deletion in every tool goes to one trash you can restore from. • Verifiable privacy. Settings > Privacy lists every network connection the app made, and why. • Honest limits. Each tool says what it does not do, right on its first screen. STORAGE • Clean – find duplicates, similar photos, screenshots, large videos, old contacts and calendar clutter, and delete them only after you confirm. Does not clear other apps' caches, RAM or "System Data". • Compress – shrink videos (HEVC) and photos (HEIC) without deleting them; compare before you replace the original. Re-encoding always loses some quality. • Vault – hide photos, videos, documents and notes behind Face ID, encrypted on device. A forgotten password without the recovery key cannot be recovered by anyone. TV • Remote – control popular smart TV platforms over Wi-Fi. The TV and iPhone must be on the same Wi-Fi network; no infrared. • Cast – show photos, slideshows and videos on your TV. Protected content from streaming apps cannot be cast; screen mirroring is not included. SCAN • Scan – read any QR code or barcode, free and unlimited, with a safe-link preview before opening. Create styled QR codes. • DocScan – turn paper into searchable PDFs, including ID cards front and back. Does not edit or sign PDFs. • Text Lens – copy text from any photo or the live camera. • Translate – translate text, conversations and the camera offline, in the languages Apple provides on your iPhone. SECURITY • Codes – two-factor authenticator with encrypted backup, Face ID and Google Authenticator import. No code is ever behind a paywall. • Finder – find lost earbuds, watches and other Bluetooth devices nearby. Works only when the device is on, charged and within a few meters. WEB • Safari – block ads and trackers, go dark and skip AMP pages in Safari. Enable it once in Settings. • Network – Wi-Fi speed test, devices on your network, ping, DNS, traceroute and whois. CAPTURE • Record – one-tap voice recorder with on-device transcription and search. Does not record phone calls. TOOLBOX • Measure – level, ruler, AR ruler, sound meter, compass, altimeter, speedometer, magnifier and flashlight. Not certified instruments. • Convert – units, currencies (daily European Central Bank rates), time zones and calculators. • Device – storage, battery and system at a glance. iOS does not let apps read battery health. BUILT FOR IPHONE Widgets, Control Center controls, Live Activities, Siri and Shortcuts, AutoFill for 2FA codes and a "Save to Vault" share sheet. FREE AND PRO The app offers free tools and stated free allowances. Pro adds capacity and extra features. Check each tool's limits in the app. Optional weekly and annual subscriptions and a lifetime purchase are available. The App Store displays the current price, billing period and any offer eligible for your account before confirmation. A free trial is included only when it is explicitly shown for the selected plan and account. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple Account settings. You can manage your subscription there. Prices and offers may vary by country and account. Do not assume a trial is available on every plan.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Notes Vault at none against iToolkit's 4. Notes Vault also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). iToolkit's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
