ShotTidy

Read full description

ShotTidy is a focused utility for one thing only: keeping your screenshot album clean and lightweight. It helps you clear away chat captures, codes, receipts and other temporary screenshots, so your photo library can highlight memories again instead of clutter. #### Key Features - Automatically detects all screenshots in your Photos library without touching regular photos - Groups screenshots by date, making it easy to review what happened on a given day - Supports multi-select with a prominent bottom button to delete selected screenshots in one action - Deletions use the system Photos interface, so items first go into “Recently Deleted” and can be restored within 30 days - No ads or promotional cards - No account, no sign-up, no background services #### Pro Version (one-time upgrade) The basic features of ShotTidy are free forever and already cover most daily cleanup needs. For heavy screenshot users, you can unlock Pro features with a one-time upgrade: - Highlight screenshots older than 30 days to clear long term clutter first - Delete all screenshots in a single action when you are ready to fully reset your screenshot album - The upgrade is a one-time purchase, with no subscriptions and no auto-renewal #### Privacy and Data Handling - All detection, grouping and deletion of screenshots happens locally on your device - The app does not upload your photos, screenshots or thumbnails to any server - No personal identity tracking and no analytics used for advertising - Deletion actions rely on the system Photos APIs, preserving the 30 day safety window in “Recently Deleted” #### Network Access ShotTidy does not require a network connection for daily screenshot management and can be used offline. Network access is only used when communicating with the App Store, for example to complete transactions or open the rating page, and is never used to upload or analyze your photo library.

OpenDisplay turns your iPhone or iPad into a second display for your Mac. It's the open-source way to put your spare Apple device to work as a real extended monitor — drag windows onto it, keep chat, notes, or logs in view, and gain screen space anywhere you go. It's not a mirror: it's a genuine additional display your Mac treats like any other monitor. • Real extended display — arrange it in your Mac's Display settings and drag windows across • Connect over USB for the lowest latency, or over Wi-Fi with zero setup • Retina-sharp, pixel-for-pixel rendering • Touch and scroll — tap, drag, and two-finger scroll to control your Mac • Works in portrait or landscape • Private by design — a direct connection between your own devices, with no accounts, no servers, and no tracking IMPORTANT: OpenDisplay requires the companion OpenDisplay app for Mac, running on your computer on the same cable or Wi-Fi network. Get it at https://peetzweg.github.io/opendisplay — without it, this app has nothing to connect to. OpenDisplay is open source under the GPL-3.0 license.
