ClipDock
Read full descriptionHide full description
Running out of iPhone storage? Videos are usually the biggest culprit. ClipDock copies your videos to your own USB drive or SSD, and you decide whether to delete the originals afterwards. Deleted videos go to Recently Deleted first, so space is freed once you empty it. HOW IT WORKS β’ Pick a destination folder on any drive that shows up in the Files app: USB-C flash drive, external SSD, or a network share. β’ Scan the videos in your photo library. β’ Sort by date or by size, and pick videos by hand, select all, or use quick filters: by year, by month, or your largest videos. β’ Copy the selected videos to your drive, with progress shown as it goes. β’ After the copy finishes, choose whether to delete the originals. Nothing is deleted without your explicit confirmation. β’ Look back at past transfers in History. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β’ Works fully offline. No account, no servers, no ads. β’ ClipDock does not collect any data. GOOD TO KNOW β’ Keep ClipDock open while copying; iOS does not allow long transfers in the background. β’ Sizes of videos stored only in iCloud may not be shown until they are downloaded. β’ Available in English and Simplified Chinese.
Pane Browser

Pane Browser is a browser built for actually reading the web. There is no top URL bar, no bottom toolbar, no persistent chrome. The web page fills the entire screen. Everything else hides behind a single floating button on the side β tap it once for a radial menu of back, home, more, and two slots you customize yourself. Designed for one-thumb mobile use: β’ Tap the floating button to open the radial menu β back, home, more, plus your two custom slots. β’ Drag the button anywhere on the screen; it snaps to either edge so it never gets in the way of the page. β’ Swipe from the left edge to go back, with a Safari-style parallax preview of the previous page sliding in. β’ A four-tile shelf on the start screen for the sites you visit most. β’ Tabs, bookmarks, and history live behind the More menu, not above the page. Privacy by default: β’ No accounts, no sign-in, nothing leaves your phone. β’ Bookmarks and history stored on-device only. β’ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. β’ Default search engine is Bing β reachable worldwide without a VPN. Switch to Google or DuckDuckGo in Settings. Pane Browser uses Apple's WKWebView, the same engine as Safari, so every site you visit renders the way it would anywhere else on iOS.
