CatchSlide

Slides photographed from the back row always come out crooked, and they get lost between selfies and receipts. CatchSlide is a camera just for presentation slides: it captures them, straightens them, and keeps them together. It can also summarize your slides with Apple Intelligence, all on device. Straight, every time The camera finds the four corners of the slide as you aim. Shoot from any seat and CatchSlide flattens the slide as if you were facing it head on, cropping away the room. A green frame tells you it is locked, and auto capture can take the shot for you. Silent There is no shutter sound, so you can capture slides in the middle of a lecture or talk without disturbing anyone. Blurry shots are skipped automatically. AI summary Apple Intelligence reads the text on your slides and writes an overview, key points and keywords. Everything is processed on your device. AI summary requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence. Organized by session Slides you capture in a row are grouped into one presentation. Give each one a title, reorder slides, or merge presentations together. Straight from Photos Already have lecture photos? Select several in Photos and share them to CatchSlide. They are straightened, sorted by the time you took them, and filed as one presentation. Search the words on your slides CatchSlide recognizes the text on every slide, so a single word you remember brings back the slide from a lecture weeks ago. Sharper text, then PDF Enhance Readability clears shadows and faded contrast. Export a presentation as a study PDF with one, two, or four slides per page, or share the images. Capture from the Home Screen Tap the widget and the camera opens right away. It works on the Lock Screen too. Start free The app is free, with up to 10 presentations to capture, straighten, search and export. CatchSlide Plus adds unlimited presentations, Enhance Readability and two- or four-per-page PDFs. Pro adds AI summaries, Markdown and PowerPoint export, and iCloud sync. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or pay once for lifetime.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CatchSlide at every 6 days against Cribbo's every 4 weeks. Cribbo's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
