NextDNS Remote is a third party app for controlling your NextDNS setup. You can view statistics and logs, as well as change blocking settings and lists. *Analytics* See the number of (blocked) queries and a chart of your recent activity, grouped by profile. Furthermore, you can see different analytics about domains, devices, security, and more. The timespan of the charts & statistics is configurable. *Query Log* Explore what requests your devices make (including a 'live updating' feature), as well as see details about the query and device. For blocked queries you can find out why they're blocked. *Blocking* Edit your blocklist, deny & allowlist, native tracking protection, and more. Quickly toggle blocking for services and categories. *Settings* You have the ability to change all security, privacy, and parental control settings. *Multiple accounts* There's support for multiple NextDNS accounts and you can switch between them seamlessly. Multiple profiles are supported too: you can even create new profiles right from the app. A NextDNS+ purchase or subscription is required to use more than one account, the ability to do mutable actions (like changing settings or creating a profile), access the Live Log, remove limits, and more. You can get NextDNS+ with a one-time purchase or optional subscription. == Note: You need a NextDNS account for this app to function. NextDNS Remote is a third party app which uses the NextDNS API and is in no way affiliated with NextDNS. Find out more about NextDNS at https://nextdns.io/.

Never lose your place again. One tap, and Spotify starts the exact chapter you stopped on. One show is free. Every further show — archived ones still count — needs the one-time unlock, no subscription. You need the Spotify app with Premium. How it works: 1. Play an audiobook or audio drama that Spotify stores as an album. 2. Share the current track to Plotkeep via "••• → Share." 3. Later, tap ▶ in the list — Spotify starts your saved chapter. • Cover art, title, and your spot at a glance, such as "Part 9 of 25" • One tap back to Spotify, straight to the right chapter • For audiobooks and audio dramas stored as albums in Spotify • Active and archive tabs: swipe finished series into the archive, swipe the other way to delete • Light and dark, follows your system • No account, no sign-up — your list stays on your device • One show free, unlimited with Pro. One-time purchase, no subscription With Pro, keep several series side by side, each at its own spot. Good to know • Always share the track that is playing. Plotkeep cannot save album, audiobook, playlist, or podcast links. • Every saved show counts, archived ones included. Only deleting frees a slot again. • Without Spotify Premium, Spotify only shuffles albums on mobile — so an audio drama cannot be heard in order at all. • If Spotify is already running, one tap is enough. If it was closed, the first tap is not reliable — tap once more and your chapter starts. That is Spotify's behavior, not Plotkeep's. Plotkeep is an independent app and is not affiliated with Spotify AB.
