Pagemaxxer is a Safari Web Extension and iMessage extension that rewrites any article or text into slang, powered by Apple Intelligence running entirely on your device. Pick a style, tap one button, and watch paragraphs transform on the page. ELEVEN SLANG STYLES - Gen Alpha (2020s+) — "Skibidify" your text with brainrot-era lingo - Gen Z (2010s-2020s) — no cap - 90s / Millennial — Buzz your articles with da bomb slang - Totally 80s / Gen X — Radify anything into gnarly, tubular prose - Flower Power (1960s-70s) — Groove out with far-out hippie speak - 1950s Greaser — Cruise through text like a real gone daddy-o - Roaring '20s Flapper — Jazzify your reading, it's the bee's knees - Southern Drawl — Y'all-ify any page with down-home charm - Shakespearean — Bard your text into iambic elegance, forsooth - Pirate Speak — Plunder articles like a scurvy sea dog - British Slang — Gobsmack your pages into proper Brit speak HOW IT WORKS Pagemaxxer intelligently detects the main article content on any webpage, skipping navigation, ads, and sidebars. It transforms each paragraph one by one, showing a live progress indicator as it goes. Transformed paragraphs are highlighted with a purple accent so you can see exactly what changed. In iMessage, Pagemaxxer has a text box you can type or paste into and convert any text you like. Two ways to transform: - "Transform This Page" rewrites text directly on the webpage you're reading - "Transform All & Show Results" opens a dedicated page that streams every paragraph with a visual progress bar CUSTOM TEXT Not browsing? Open the Pagemaxxer app and use the Custom Text tab to paste or type any text, choose your slang style, and transform it instantly. Copy the result with one tap. 100% PRIVATE AND ON-DEVICE Pagemaxxer uses Apple Intelligence and the on-device Foundation Models framework. Your text is never sent to any server. All processing happens locally on your iPhone or iPad. REQUIREMENTS - iPhone 15 Pro or later, or iPad with M1 chip or later - iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 or later - Apple Intelligence must be enabled in Settings

Turn any screen into a beautiful split-flap display. Split Flap brings the iconic look and sound of mechanical departure boards to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV — all with one purchase. MODES FOR EVERY MOMENT Clock — A stunning flip clock with custom timezone support. Watch the minutes roll over with satisfying mechanical sound. Custom Message — Type anything and watch it flip into place letter by letter. Perfect for welcome signs, desk displays, or storefront messaging. Quotes — Load up your favorite quotes and let them rotate automatically. Drag to reorder, sync across devices with iCloud, and let inspiration find you throughout the day. Now Playing — See what's playing on your screen in real time. Song title and artist flip into view as your music changes. (iOS and macOS) Timer — Countdown from preset durations (5 to 60 minutes) or count up with the stopwatch. Large, bold digits you can read from across the room. Paint — Create pixel art directly on the board. A creative canvas with a retro twist. DESIGNED FOR EVERY SCREEN Works beautifully on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Each platform is purpose-built — not a lazy port. Apple TV uses the Siri Remote for effortless navigation, Mac supports desktop pinning and a screen saver, and iOS includes home screen widgets. LOOK AND FEEL Choose from 7 color themes: Classic Yellow, Amber, Green, Blue, Red, Purple, and White. The Confetti theme randomizes tile colors for a playful twist. 10+ flip patterns (spiral, matrix, snake, and more) control how the board reveals new content. SOUNDS THAT SATISFY Three built-in sound themes — Mechanical, Typewriter, and Soft — each synthesized to match the rhythm of the animation. Every clack fires at the exact midpoint of each tile flip, just like a real board. WIDGETS Add a flip clock, daily quote, custom message, or countdown timer to your home screen or lock screen. Choose your color theme and appearance right from the widget editor. Five widget types — each designed for a specific purpose. ONE PURCHASE. EVERY PLATFORM. Split Flap is a one-time purchase that unlocks premium features across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV through Universal Purchase. No subscriptions. No ads. Just a beautiful display. Built with SwiftUI. Syncs settings and quotes via iCloud. Runs natively on every Apple platform.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Pagemaxxer at daily against Split Flap's monthly. Split Flap's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
