Protego for Reddit vs Bytesweep

Add a keyword, a community, a user, or a domain, and matching posts quietly disappear from your feed. Protego is a Safari extension with a companion app, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. WHY THE BROWSER: Reddit belongs in your browser. The official app is built to keep you scrolling; in Safari, you decide what Reddit shows you. No notifications pulling you back, no "get the app" walls, and no Reddit app collecting in the background. FILTER WHAT YOU CHOOSE: - Keywords - Hide posts whose title, body, or community name matches a word or phrase - Communities - Hide everything from a community, or block its page entirely - Users - Hide one person's posts and comments - Domains - Hide posts linking to a particular site - Social Media - Hide posts linking to X, Instagram, TikTok, and more Keywords go further: * matches a word and its variations, # matches any 1 to 3 digit number, and groups switch a whole set on or off at once. Any filter switches off without deleting it. Reveal Mode outlines every post a filter would hide instead of hiding it, and Preview tries a keyword before you save it. Not sure what to filter? On a device with Apple Intelligence, pick a topic or type a word, and Protego suggests real terms to add. SET UP IN ONE TAP: Pick a preset (Off, Minimal, Balanced, or Focused) and Protego applies a recommended set of options, bringing new Reddit closer to the old one. Fine-tune anything afterward. CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER: - Hide thumbnails, avatars, flair, badges, vote controls, award and join buttons, community banners, and pinned highlight cards - Hide recommendations, promoted posts, login and app nudges, and Reddit Answers - Collapse or hide comments carrying media, and the moderator comment pinned to the top of a thread MAKE REDDIT EASIER TO USE: - Share a post, or a comment with the thread above it, as an image instead of a screenshot - Color-code comment threads by reply depth, with four themes to pick from - Jump between comments by reply depth, and return to the top of a thread - Open comment pages with every reply chain folded away - Open posts from a feed in a new tab, keeping your place - Land on old Reddit automatically, with an endless feed - Give old Reddit the dark theme it has never had, and drop communities' custom styling PUT REDDIT OUT OF REACH: Limits blocks Reddit itself, a step at a time: Home and Popular, then all main feeds, then everything but direct links to posts, then all of Reddit. Pair a limit with a Focus like Sleep or Study and it turns itself on. PRIVACY: No account, no tracking, no browsing history collected. Your filter lists stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. Keyword suggestions run on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, which stores nothing and never receives your lists. YOURS ON EVERY DEVICE: - One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro - No subscription, and optional tips are the only in-app purchase. Nothing is locked behind them - Lists sync over your own iCloud, even with the app closed - Works on new and old Reddit - English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese - Search every setting by name or by what it does - Import and export your lists - Stats showing how much Protego has filtered, with a shareable card Protego filters text: post titles, bodies, community and author names, and link addresses. It cannot read words inside images or videos. Filtered posts are hidden from your view. Nothing is removed from Reddit, and nobody is notified.

Free up space on your iPhone without losing a single photo you care about. Find similar shots and duplicates, shrink big videos, swipe through old months, and review everything before it goes. SELECT, REVIEW, DELETE Every screen works the same way. Tap what you want gone, then Review shows it all together with its size. Nothing is deleted until you confirm there, and iOS keeps it in Recently Deleted for 30 days. SIMILAR PHOTOS AND DUPLICATES • Similar photos: near-identical shots grouped by day, so you keep the best one. Of equally sharp shots, the one with everyone's eyes open is kept • Duplicate photos: keep the highest quality, the newest or the oldest • Choose how strict the look-alike matching is: Strict, Normal or Loose • Burst photos, screenshots, screen recordings, blurry photos and what other apps saved • Filter any list by size and age to find the big, old things first SHRINK VIDEOS AND PHOTOS Keep the moment and get the space back. Bytesweep makes a smaller copy of a large video (HEVC, same resolution or down to 1080p) or a large photo (Smaller, Balanced or Sharper), checks it, and puts the original in Review for you to delete. Shrunk items say how much they saved, for example 52 MB to 32 MB. Shrink one, or shrink the whole list. Keep a Live Photo as a still, with its date and place. SWIPE REVIEW Pick a month and go through it one photo or video at a time. Swipe left to let it go, right to keep it, and undo any decision. Favorites and protected albums are left out. Ask Siri: "Start Swipe Review in Bytesweep". FIND AND SORT • Ask Your Photos: find a photo by describing it, read on this iPhone • Photo Intelligence: receipts, documents, food, pets and more, grouped. Turn document photos into one searchable PDF • Library by album, Places on a map, and a Selfies grid • Privacy scan: see which photos carry a location or device details, and share copies without them PRIVATE VAULT Hide photos and videos in an encrypted vault on this iPhone, opened with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Each item is sealed and checked before its original goes. The vault stays on this iPhone and is not in backups; the app says so before anything goes in. CONTACTS, CALENDAR AND REMINDERS Merge contacts saved twice, clear entries with no name or way to reach anyone, and remove old events, duplicate events and finished reminders. Nothing changes until you confirm. Calendars and reminders have no Recently Deleted, so removing there is permanent. STORAGE AT A GLANCE A storage ring on Home, a growth chart, reports you can export, a cleanup history, Home and Lock Screen widgets, a Control Center button and 10 Siri and Shortcuts actions. Also: a QR and barcode scanner, a document scanner and text recognition. Works on iPhone Duo. THE HONEST PART If your photos are optimized for iCloud, a 12 MB photo might take 200 KB on this iPhone. Deleting it frees 200 KB here and removes it from every device. Bytesweep shows you this before you delete. No app on iOS can clear other apps' caches, "System Data" or what Messages and Safari store. Bytesweep shows where that space is. PRICE Scanning, browsing, selecting and swiping are always free. Every feature works free within your first 1 GB and 30 items, whichever comes first: deleting, shrinking, the vault, and cleaning contacts, calendars and reminders. After that, one purchase removes the cap: Bytesweep Pro. Pay once. No subscription, no renewal. Restore it on any iPhone signed in to the same Apple Account. PRIVACY Everything happens on your iPhone. No account, no analytics, no server and no network requests. Nothing leaves the device unless you share or export it.
