Save an immutable script and selection manifest, then compare the current project against it. See changed copy, reordered lines, different takes, gap changes and unavailable audio before you deliver again. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open a script and choose Delivery checkpoints. 2. Name and save a checkpoint of the current script, selected takes and gaps. 3. Edit a line or continue recording through the normal project workflow. 4. Return to the checkpoint, filter changed lines and share a detailed change report. Keep line-by-line recording, take selection, Alt Take Rescue, recording tools, stitching, mastering and audio exports. Checkpoints do not alter your selections. WHAT TO KNOW Checkpoints are manifests, not audio backups. They do not copy or restore recordings, measure listening quality or export a mix. Audio contents and export or processing settings are not compared. File presence does not verify playback. Keep separate exported-audio backups. iPhone and iPad.

Tricket does not push you to become someone else. It simply leaves a little ticket for each thing you truly finish, so you can slowly trade those tickets for the life you really want. One line leaves your list, and one ticket lands in your wallet. Finish a to-do, log something you do again and again, check your phone into the cabinet at bedtime—even catching yourself before you open an app—and it all becomes a ticket. The day you did it and what it was worth stay printed on the ticket. Save them little by little, then trade that real effort for a wish you genuinely want. Everything you do counts • Give a to-do a Low, Middle, or High resistance; points can be fixed or rolled within a range • When it is done, the to-do leaves your list and becomes a ticket in your wallet • Reading, water, stairs—log the things you do again and again, once each time • Start a focus timer from a to-do or a tally, and pause, resume, or end it from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island When the urge to scroll hits, save it • Pick the apps you want to use less; during the hours you set, they greet you with a reminder first • Skip it, and save the urge in the cabinet for a Phone Down coupon; the same app counts once every 10 minutes • Need it for real? Write down why, hold through a breath, then allow it for a few minutes • While a focus timer runs, apps on your list stay locked At bedtime, check your phone in • Tap the crescent beside the title, check your phone into the cabinet, and pick it up after 6 hours for an Early Night coupon • While it is in there, only the apps you allow stay open; calls still come through • Set a bedtime reminder, or check in automatically at bedtime • Devices on the same iCloud account check in together and can pick up from any of them Turn your effort into wishes • Daily Summary lays out the day in order: what you did, how long you focused, and about how much time you won back from your phone • Save enough points to redeem a wish; redemption starts with the oldest ticket, and any change stays in your wallet • Every redemption leaves a receipt showing which days and actions paid for that wish It is okay to take a day off Tricket has no streak you need to maintain, and a break never wipes out what you have already done. Every ticket you earned stays in your wallet. The free version includes iCloud sync, unlimited to-dos, 3 tallies and 3 wishes, one block list (3 apps), and 7 Phone Down coupons a day; Early Night is unlimited for the first 7 nights, then once a week. Tricket Pro removes the limits and unlocks all widgets. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
