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.

Movie nights are better shared. Cinemoo keeps every film you see at the cinema, with posters, ratings, formats, theatres and dates. Now you can follow along with your friends' movie nights too. SEE WHAT YOUR FRIENDS ARE WATCHING Invite your movie people with a private link or QR code. Once you're friends, your feed shows the films they've seen and how they rated them. Open a friend's profile for their watch history and the year card they've published. FIND YOUR MOVIE MATCH Compare tastes with any friend: every film you've both seen, the ones you both loved, the ones you both disliked, and where your takes split. YOUR GROUP'S LEADERBOARD See who in your group has been to the movies most, this year or this month. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Friends is optional and invite-only. Friends see the films you've watched and your ratings. Your cinemas, seats, exact showtimes, notes and spending stay private. Remove or block someone at any time. KEEP EVERY MOVIE NIGHT Browse your history as a poster collection or a detailed list. Search titles and theatres, revisit your highest-rated films, and keep repeat visits in your record. Correct a detail or add a visit by hand whenever you need to. SEE YOUR MOVIEGOING HABITS Explore your activity over time, favourite genres, movie ratings, formats and cinema visits. See how much time you've spent at the movies and compare years of moviegoing. UNDERSTAND YOUR MEMBERSHIPS Track one movie membership or several, each with its own price and history. Compare estimated ticket value with membership fees and surcharges, and see monthly and lifetime savings and your effective cost per movie. If a month costs more than it saves, Cinemoo shows that too. Record AAA24 ticket redemptions and concession spending as well. History, ratings and Friends work without a membership. FORWARD TICKETS TO YOUR HISTORY Forward supported ticket confirmations, including AMC and Alamo Drafthouse, to your private Cinemoo address. Review import results and correct anything that needs attention. You can record visits from any cinema by hand. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD A native app with a dark interface, poster artwork and an adaptive iPad layout. Your account and history stay in sync with the Cinemoo website. Sign in with Apple, or continue with Google or email in a secure browser sheet. YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE Export your history as CSV or JSON, correct your records, and request account deletion from Settings. No ads or advertising tracking. An internet connection is required to sync and make changes. Import timing depends on your email provider and the confirmation. Ticket values are estimates of what seats would have cost without a pass, not price quotes or records of cash paid. Cinemoo is independent and is not affiliated with AMC, Alamo Drafthouse or other cinema chains.
