Spoolscroll vs LongShot

Spoolscroll takes one long screenshot of anything you can scroll. Instead of tapping the shutter over and over and hoping the pieces line up, it records your screen while you scroll, then stitches every frame into a single tall image on your iPhone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap the capture button and confirm in the iOS sheet. 2. Switch to whatever you want to keep: a feed, a chat, a receipt, a long article. 3. Scroll at your own pace, as far as you like. The red clock means it is recording. 4. Tap the clock to stop. The image is stitched in seconds and lands in your Library. ANY APP YOU CAN SCROLL It captures the screen, not a web page, so it is not limited to the browser. Feeds, chats, receipts, settings, long articles: if it scrolls, it stitches. CONTINUOUS, NOT CLICK-CLICK-CLICK One recording, one image. Nothing to line up by hand, no missing rows where two screenshots did not quite overlap, and no losing your place halfway down a long thread. HONEST OUTPUT Every frame is aligned and checked for tears and duplicates before it reaches the image. Torn and repeated frames are dropped rather than blended. Where two frames cannot be joined with confidence you get a small grey bar that says so. Never a silent gap, never invented pixels. YOUR LIBRARY Finished captures land in your Library, labelled with the app they came from. Rename them, copy them, share them, save them to Photos, or delete them whenever you like. Captures that did not finish are shown plainly rather than quietly disappearing. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR IPHONE A screen recording is about as personal as data gets, so Spoolscroll is built with no way of seeing it. - No servers. The app makes no network requests of its own. - No account, no ads and no analytics. - Frames are deleted once the stitch is done. - Results stay in the app and are excluded from backups. - Photos is only touched when you tap Save, with add-only permission. FREE TO USE, ONE PAYMENT FOR MORE Spoolscroll is free, with shorter captures. If you need the really long scrolls, a single one-time purchase unlocks longer recordings. No subscription, no account, nothing to cancel. REQUIREMENTS Any iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Apps that deliberately block screen recording, such as banking apps and DRM-protected video, show black frames that no app can recover.

Take overlapping screenshots. Double-tap the back of your iPhone. Find your long image in Photos. Set up the included shortcut once, then use Back Tap to stitch a small batch without opening LongShot. No dragging images into order or adjusting seams by hand. SET UP BACK TAP 1. Open LongShot once and allow Full Photos Access for automatic screenshot detection. 2. In About, open the Back Tap guide and add the shared shortcut. Confirm Add Shortcut in Shortcuts, then run it once to finish any permission prompts. 3. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap. Choose Double Tap or Triple Tap and select your saved shortcut. 4. Take two or three consecutive screenshots of the same scrolling view, leaving recognizable overlap. Keep your iPhone unlocked, use the gesture, then check the result in Photos. WHY LONGSHOT • Back Tap to stitch. A gesture starts the shortcut; a reliable small batch is stitched and saved in the background. Your original screenshots stay in Photos. • Checked overlap. LongShot verifies how neighboring screenshots connect before automatic stitching. Uncertain matches may need another try or a quick check in the app. Inspect the joins before sharing. • Your screenshots stay private. Image processing happens on your iPhone. Screenshots are not uploaded. No ads and no LongShot account to create. Apple and RevenueCat process purchase information and entitlement checks; they do not receive your screenshots. • Original-width PNG. Keep the original pixels in one long image. Share it from the app or save it to Photos. GOOD FOR Chat conversations, comment threads, articles, receipts, orders, notes and other scrolling content. Take screenshots yourself; LongShot joins them. It does not record your screen or scroll other apps for you. PREFER TO OPEN THE APP? LongShot checks recent screenshots and shows a preview when it finds a reliable match. You can also select images yourself. Full Photos Access enables automatic detection; manual selection is available with limited access. Optional source cleanup requires your confirmation in iOS. Back Tap works best for small batches. Larger tasks, limited photo access, uncertain matches, low device resources or an exhausted allowance may require the app. In-app capacity adapts to available resources, up to 100 screenshots. FREE TO START Your first 10 successful stitches per calendar month are free. After that, you can still preview a result; saving, sharing and shortcut export require an optional one-time Lifetime Unlock. No subscription. Your local price is shown before purchase. Restore Purchases is available in the app. People whose verified first App Store download was before October 1, 2026 (UTC+8) keep unlimited access. Requires iOS 16 or later. Back Tap also requires a compatible iPhone, Shortcuts and the one-time setup above. Questions or ideas: longshotapp@163.com
