Editing isn't what makes your post late. Choosing is. You came home with 700 photos and posted none of them. MyDump turns an overcrowded camera roll into a post-ready carousel. It pulls the candidates, you swipe, and you walk away with your best 20 in the right order. HOW IT WORKS • Pick where to start: this month, recents, on this day, or a trip • Swipe right to keep, left to skip, up to set your cover • Reorder, preview, and save the finished carousel as its own Photos album • Open Instagram and post it TRIPS • Your geotagged photos group themselves into places automatically • Come back from a trip and the whole trip is already waiting as a folder • Dump one place without scrolling past everything else STORY COLLAGE • One tap turns your picks into a scrapbook-style collage sized for Stories • Torn-paper frames, cut-out lettering, four different styles • Post the carousel, then drop the matching Story LOOKS + PHOTO TOOLS • Dump Look: one consistent look across the whole dump, not photo by photo • Enhance, fix lighting, erase a distraction, remove background • Film-inspired looks: street film, digicam, 35mm, golden hour TIDY AS YOU GO • Duplicate finder flags near-identical shots so you only judge one • Swipe-to-delete for the clutter you'll never post PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything scans on-device with Apple's PhotoKit. Your photos, videos, and location data never leave your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. FREE + PRO • Free: unlimited dumps, up to 5 photos each, no watermark, saving always works • Your first dump is the full 20 so you can see the whole thing before deciding • Pro: full 20-photo carousels every time, all photo tools, Story collage, Trips MyDump Pro is $44.99/year or $7.99/week with a free trial.

About

CapScribe

Features
Read full description

CapScribe turns speech into editable captions and burns them into your video, entirely on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing is uploaded to us. There is no subscription, no credit system, and no watermark: one purchase unlocks the full app. Import a video or audio file, transcribe it on device, fix words and timing, pick a style, and export. Already have captions? Pair a video with an SRT or VTT file and skip transcription. Batch up to 10 videos at once. Because everything runs locally, there is no upload queue and no waiting for a server. After the language pack is downloaded, transcription works in airplane mode. CREATE AND EDIT • Transcribe imported video and audio on your device • Keep multiple local video and audio projects, then search, rename, duplicate, reopen, or delete them • Burn styled captions into the exported video • Choose from eight presets or customize font design, alignment, colors, outline, background, corners, and shadow • Add a clean Pop or Rise entrance to captions, or keep motion off • Reframe output for the original ratio, 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, or 16:9 • Preview at 0.5×–2× speed and loop the current caption while editing • Enter exact timecodes, smart-split a caption, or safely fix empty and overlong captions in one step • Review low-confidence, fast, overlong, and empty captions in one place • Use on-device Automatic Checks to find detectable caption and timing issues, then listen and review names, numbers, original text, and translations before publishing • Reuse an on-device term dictionary for names and commonly misheard words • Undo and redo edits, or find and replace across original text and translations TRANSLATE AND EXPORT • Translate captions with Apple's system Translation framework • Switch between original, translated, and bilingual captions • Batch-caption up to 10 videos at a time • Export original, translated, or bilingual SRT, VTT, and TXT files separately or as one package • Preview the finished video, compare source-to-output resolution, and check expected duration, frame rate, audio, and file size before sharing FREE PREVIEW AND FULL VERSION Try the complete workflow at no charge. For longer media, the free preview processes the first 90 seconds of each video or the first 10 minutes of audio. A one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase removes those free preview limits. There is no subscription or watermark; actual processing capacity depends on your device and media. PRIVACY CapScribe processes your media and transcripts on your iPhone or iPad and does not upload them to the developer. Projects stay in the app's local storage. iOS may download Apple speech or translation language resources when first needed. Purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. REQUIREMENTS iPhone with iOS 26 or later.
