Squeezly brings file compression, storage cleanup and practical photo and video editing together on your device. Scan for duplicate and similar photos, blurry shots, screenshots and large videos. Review what to keep before deleting. Cleanup scans and file previews are free. Protect selected files in Vault. Premium unlocks compression, cleanup deletion, bulk actions and unlimited Vault entries. Compress PDFs, photos, videos and archives with quality presets and a size comparison. Compression saves a copy so you can review the result before sharing. Free photo tools: crop with aspect presets, rotate, flip, straighten, and adjust brightness, contrast, saturation and warmth. Save a copy and remove location data; location removal is on by default. Free video tools: trim, rotate, flip, crop to an aspect ratio and mute. Save a copy with location data removed by default. Premium photo tools: blur, pixelate or black out selected regions, with Find faces to help select faces. Fit a photo onto a canvas with a blurred, white or black background. Resize by scale, maximum side or target file size; convert photo formats (JPEG, PNG, HEIC on iOS only); remove all metadata; batch resize, convert or strip metadata; replace an original after saving the edited copy. Premium video tools: fit to send with a target size and resolution, split into timed parts, extract audio as M4A, save a frame as a photo, change speed, add a letterbox canvas and replace an original after saving. Target sizes are best effort; check the actual exported size. Premium tools carry a PRO badge. Saving an edit that uses a Premium tool requires Premium. Basic saves keep high quality; they are not target-size compression. Photo and video edits are processed on your device. No media upload, no Squeezly account and no added watermark. New subscribers can try the yearly plan free for 7 days. After the trial it renews at the yearly price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Yearly and Monthly plans are auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. Lifetime is a one-time non-consumable purchase and does not renew. With the free trial, payment is charged to your Apple ID when the trial ends, not at confirmation of purchase.

Bring your scattered "settings" into one world When you build a long story, your characters, places, organizations, terms, and historical timeline end up scattered across memos and spreadsheets. "Where did I write that character again?" — that search kills your creative momentum. Lorebind is a "second brain" for your worldbuilding, made for novelists, TTRPG game masters, and every kind of creator. Not a heavy, complex tool — we focused on being fast and simple. How worlds work - One story = one world. Put a whole novel or a whole campaign into a single world. - Even if you only half-remember a name, fuzzy search finds it — inside a world, or across all of them. As your projects grow, you never have to remember which world you wrote something in. What you can do - Organize characters / places / organizations / items / terms / events by type, and pick an icon color for each entry - Answer a few questions and auto-generate a starter world (characters, places, relationships, timeline) — no more blank page - Turn names in your text into links with "[[" or "@". Jump to related entries instantly, and see what references them with backlinks - Visualize how characters and factions connect with a relationship map — filter by type and spread it out with two fingers - Fuzzy search and tags to solve "what was that character again?" - A timeline that supports fictional calendars - Attach images like portraits and covers (Plus) - Drop pins on a map image to see how places relate (Plus) - Export your whole world to Markdown for backup (free). Formatted PDF export is Plus - Choose dark, light, or match your device (with a white or beige background in light mode) - Back up your data, and revert a world to an earlier saved copy Fully offline and privacy-first Write anywhere: on the train, on a plane, with no signal. Your data is stored on your device and never sent to our servers. No ads, no tracking. (If you're signed in to iCloud, you can share your worlds between your own devices via Apple's servers. Nothing is sent or received until you tap a button in Settings. Using iCloud is free.) Pricing Create one world for free and use the core features (entries, links, search, timeline, relationship map, world generation, Markdown export). For those who want more, there is the paid plan "Lorebind Plus": - Lorebind Plus: unlimited worlds / image attachments / map view / PDF export - Choose monthly, yearly (with a 7-day free trial), or a one-time purchase (yours forever) - Payment is charged to your App Store account - Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period - You can manage or cancel anytime in Settings. Canceling never removes the worlds or images you've created. If you've had at least one paid period, you can keep editing all your worlds after canceling. If you cancel during the free trial, any additional worlds created during the trial become read-only (your first world always stays editable). Bring the world in your head into your pocket. Build your story world, more freely, with Lorebind. Lorebind Plus (auto-renewable subscription) - Monthly / Yearly plans (a one-time purchase is also available) - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase - Renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period - Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > your Apple ID > Subscriptions Terms of Use (EULA): https://kabosuburi5555-commits.github.io/lorebind-legal/terms_en.html Privacy Policy: https://kabosuburi5555-commits.github.io/lorebind-legal/privacy_en.html
