Every letter has a story. The A on a rusty storefront sign. The M in hand-painted graffiti. The S on a mosaic tile from a trip you almost forgot. FoundType turns your phone camera into a letter collector. Point it at any text in the real world and pick out the letters you love. Signs, posters, neon lights, handwriting, carved stone. Each one is saved with its original photo, where you found it, and when. Then, spell out anything with the letters you've collected: • REELS: Animate your words into shareable videos, letter by letter • POSTCARDS: Piece together chaotic, collage-style messages Your letter library grows with you. Browse by character, scroll through a timeline, or revisit them on a map of everywhere you've been. Go find your alphabet!

Quiet is the photo cleaner that keeps things honest. Find duplicate and similar photos, screenshots, blurry shots, and videos you no longer need. Review everything yourself. Nothing leaves your library until you confirm the iOS deletion dialog. No inflated numbers. No mystery cleanup. Just a quieter way to make space. Your library fills with the same moment shot six times, screenshots you meant to delete, and videos too big to keep. Quiet reads all of it on your iPhone, shows you what's worth a second look, and helps you keep the best of it, calmly, one honest decision at a time. SET ASIDE, THEN DELETE ONCE Quiet never deletes as you go. Everything you set aside waits in one pile, and nothing leaves your library until you confirm in the iOS deletion dialog. Change your mind at any point and put anything back with a tap. THE SAME MOMENT, MORE THAN ONCE Duplicates and look-alikes are found on-device and grouped by moment. Quiet suggests the best shot of each group and says why: the sharpest, your favorite, your edited version. A tap is enough to disagree. Keep one, keep several, or keep them all. REVIEW BY MONTH Go through your library one month at a time, one photograph at a time. Swipe right to keep, left to set aside. Your progress is saved; go at whatever pace suits. SCREENSHOTS, BLUR, AND LONG VIDEOS Rooms for the things libraries collect: screenshots, soft-focus shots, dark frames, long videos. Blurry and dark photos are never auto-selected. You always look first. STILLS FROM LIVE PHOTOS A Live Photo carries a short video beside the picture. Quiet can keep the picture and let the motion go: measured honestly, converted safely, originals removed only through the iOS deletion dialog. VIDEO COMPRESSOR Make a smaller copy of a large video at the quality you choose. Quiet shows you the measured size before and after, and tells you the truth: nothing is saved until the original is gone, and that choice is always yours. A VAULT THAT LOCKS Keep private photos and videos encrypted behind Face ID, stored only on your device. And unlike most vaults, this one is a place you can leave: move things back to Photos, or export them, any time. Deleted Vault items can be put back for 30 days. CONTACTS AND CALENDAR, TOO Find duplicate and incomplete contacts, old events, and calendars you subscribed to and forgot, reviewed and confirmed by you, never changed automatically. WIDGETS See what's recoverable from your Home Screen, and jump straight back into the pile. WHAT QUIET WILL NEVER DO • Never delete anything from your photo library without the iOS deletion dialog • Never upload a photo, a video, a thumbnail, or a fingerprint. There is no server • Never invent a number: every figure is measured, and estimates say "up to" • Never claim to speed up your phone, clean RAM, or save battery • No ads. No tracking. No account. QUIET PREMIUM The free version lets you review your library and delete up to 50 items. Premium opens every look-alike group, the Vault, and the video tools: with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and can be managed in your Apple Account settings.
