Enter Space connects your cloud storage accounts to your Apple devices and folds them into Files / Finder so they feel native — and ships a v5 toolkit to actually USE that storage well: a duplicate finder with image, video & audio similarity, a storage analyzer, and a code editor with a real git client. One app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV & Apple Watch. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Enter Space needs an in-app purchase to use: a Monthly or Yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Every feature described below is included with any of them; nothing is sold separately. New subscribers start with a free trial, and Family Sharing is supported. THE V5 TOOLKIT • Doppel Duplicate Finder — find exact or visually & audibly similar images, videos, and audio on any remote. Bulk Keep / Keep None / Invert, rule-based winners, persisted hash cache so re-scans are instant. • Space Inspector — ncdu-style storage analyzer: drill into folders by cumulative size, multi-select bulk delete, QuickLook anywhere in the tree. • Code Editor + Git — multi-tab syntax-highlighting editor with a full git side-panel (stage, commit, branch, merge, pull, push, stash, revert), SSH Key Manager, token store, Git Mirror local clones, and HTML / Markdown live preview. CORE FEATURES • Built-in Media Gallery for photos, audio and video as a slideshow. 360° video supported by swipe-to-pan. • File Locking and File Versioning on any supported connection. • Time Portal — point-in-time restoration of any file or folder. • Quick public-link sharing for providers that support it. • Read / write across all configured remotes. • Rename many files at once — select two or more, choose Rename All, and build the new names from a pattern ({name}, a {n} counter, {ext}) or find & replace, with a live old → new preview that flags collisions before anything is touched. • Encrypt / decrypt on the fly. Create Aliases for fast access to any folder on any cloud. • Widgets for iPhone, iPad & Mac — Photo Slideshow, Storage Dashboard, Bandwidth and Sync Status — plus a used/free capacity bar on every storage location. NATIVE FILES INTEGRATION • Spotlight Index, Time Machine Backup, Download / Evict via the File Provider Service. • Mac: a file system extension can mount your remotes as a real volume that Finder and Terminal see — switch a remote on or off and the volume updates in place. • In-app remote file browsing, local bookmarks, cross-remote file ops. • Accepts files from other apps via the share sheet and Open With. AUTOMATION • Schedule sync tasks (copy, move, sync, bisync, photos backup) with rich triggers — including App Intents. • Run Now from the context menu — last-in-wins, no waiting on the queue. SUPPORTED CLOUDS Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, pCloud, Box, Mega, Microsoft Azure Files, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, Backblaze B2, Amazon S3-compatible storage, Google Cloud Storage, and many more rclone backends. PROTOCOLS FTP, SSH / SFTP, HTTP, WebDAV, SMB / Samba. Built on the open-source rclone project. You can drop in an rclone.conf to configure any backend rclone supports. You choose which remotes appear in Files / Finder. SECURITY A local web server with a rolling password runs on the device for local-only communication. External traffic uses each provider's standard secure protocol. SSH keys live in iCloud Keychain and ride between your devices. PRIVACY Enter Space facilitates connections to YOUR cloud accounts. We don't host storage, we collect zero usage data, and there's no telemetry. All file transfers go directly from your device to your cloud, through rclone running locally on your device. Tested heavily but you accept responsibility for any data loss. Use at your own risk.

Boreal PDF

Boreal PDF helps you turn paper forms, receipts, certificates, contracts, and application documents into cleaner PDFs from iPhone. Start with a camera scan, selected photos, or an imported PDF. Boreal PDF keeps the workflow focused on the practical steps before submission: straighten the page, improve text readability, fill in missing marks, reduce file size, and export a PDF you can review before sending. Key tools: - Scan paper documents or import photos and PDFs. - Auto-crop, rotate, retake, reorder, merge, or split pages. - Add dates, names, signatures, freehand ink, and stamp-style marks. - Compress PDFs toward common upload limits. - Run OCR for printed Japanese and English text. - Preview the final PDF, then save, share, or print it from iOS. Boreal PDF is local-first by design. The companion website does not provide cloud document storage, account sync, or server-side PDF processing. OCR works best on clear printed text; handwriting, glare, low light, and heavy skew can reduce accuracy, so always review important documents before submitting them. Boreal PDF is free to start with 5 documents per day. Within that allowance, form marks, compression, OCR, searchable PDF, and watermarked export stay in the workflow. Pro removes the daily document limit and unlocks watermark-free final export. A 24-hour Pro Pass is available for short-term access, alongside monthly and yearly Pro subscriptions. Current prices, trial availability, renewal terms, and regional availability are shown on the App Store.
