• Split tunneling — you choose which apps use the VPN • Unlimited free traffic and time — no data caps, no timers • Fast, private connection on any Wi-Fi network Every network you join can see more than you think — and a VPN that breaks your banking app isn't protecting you, it's getting in your way. SplitVPN gives you both: real privacy for what matters, and split tunneling that keeps your everyday apps working exactly as they should. WHAT MAKES SPLITVPN DIFFERENT — SPLIT TUNNELING You choose which apps use the VPN and which connect directly: • Your banking app connects directly — no fraud alerts, no locked accounts • Your browser and everything sensitive stay encrypted • Maps, delivery, and local apps keep your real location • Only protected traffic uses the tunnel — faster speeds, longer battery life Most VPNs are all-or-nothing. SplitVPN gives you control. FREE MEANS ACTUALLY FREE • Unlimited traffic — no data caps, ever • Unlimited time — no session limits, no countdown timers The honest trade-off: free servers are speed-limited, cover fewer locations, and can slow down at peak hours. That's it. No tricks. STAY PRIVATE ON ANY NETWORK • Encrypts your connection on public Wi-Fi — airports, hotels, cafes • Hides your browsing from your internet provider and advertisers • Masks your IP address from the sites you visit • Modern protocols built for a fast, stable connection — even on networks where ordinary VPNs struggle EVERYDAY SITUATIONS WHERE SPLITVPN SHINES • Working from cafe, airport, or hotel Wi-Fi • Keeping your searches away from advertisers' profiles • Traveling abroad and staying connected to your usual apps and services • Reaching the apps and sites you rely on when a network gets in the way • Streaming or gaming through the VPN while calls and messages go direct GO PREMIUM WHEN YOU'RE READY • Maximum speeds with priority bandwidth • Full list of countries and locations — from the USA to Europe and Asia • Rock-solid stability at any hour, including peak time SplitVPN is translated into 25 languages and used around the world.

Take control of how you take screenshots on iOS. Fastest snipping (draw freely to snap crop), finer control over its size and style, swiftly cut out stickers to paste, hide parts of screenshot. Snip what's on your screen, mark it up and share it in seconds. Press the Action button or squeeze Apple Pencil Pro, and your screenshot opens straight in the Screenshot+ editor. Screenshot+ doesn't replace the screenshot built into iOS. Each has its own trigger, so you can use both: the iOS screenshot saves the whole screen to Photos as it is, while Screenshot+ opens straight into the editor to crop, cut out, style and share. SNIP FROM ANYWHERE Set up as many triggers as you like: • Action button (iPhone): one press snips whatever's on screen. • Apple Pencil Pro (iPad): squeeze the barrel to snip without putting the Pencil down. • Back Tap (iPhone): double or triple tap the back of your iPhone. • Keyboard and mouse (iPad): snip with a key combination or a spare mouse button. • AssistiveTouch: add a snip button to the floating menu. • Siri, or a voice command of your own, hands-free. Close the editor and you're back in the app you were using. FAST SNIPPING CUTOUTS Snip the screen, draw around what you want with Free Form, then touch and hold the selection and drag it into apps like Freeform. It has a transparent background, just like a sticker. SHARE STYLISED SCREENSHOTS Make your own presets to share elegant-looking screenshots every time. A preset can crop out the status bar automatically and put a gradient, color or blur background around your selection, with an optional border, so every screenshot you share has a distinct look. • Choose from six gradients or mix your own. • Set the screenshot size each preset shares by default. • See every change in a live preview. Each preset becomes a tab in the editor. Put your favourite first and the editor opens on it. SHARE, COPY, SAVE OR DRAG Share is one tap away in the editor. You can also copy your snip, save it to Photos or drag it into another app. Cutouts keep their transparent background. USE THE EDITOR ON ANY PHOTO Tap Share on a system screenshot or any other photo, in Photos, Files or Safari, and choose Screenshot+ to use the same selection tools. The editor opens right on top of the app you're in. RECENTS Your latest snips appear on the Home tab. Reopen one to carry on editing, with undo history intact. QUICK, GUIDED SETUP Setup takes a few minutes, once: allow notifications, add two free shortcuts and set your trigger. The Home tab walks you through each step, and the Guide tab has setup videos for the triggers. Screenshot+ relies on notifications to work, but it won't send you notifications. SCREENSHOT+ PRO Every tool is free to use. Free exports carry a small "Powered by Screenshot+" watermark. Screenshot+ Pro removes it from everything you copy, save, share or drag out. Screenshot+ Pro is a monthly auto-renewing subscription with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.neuralquark.com/screenshot-snipper-privacy-policy/ Pencil squeeze requires Apple Pencil Pro. The Action button is on iPhone 15 Pro and later.
