Features
Read full description

Open, create and organize archives on iPhone and iPad. SpeedZip Pro combines compression, extraction, file previews and management, with archive processing on your device and no account required. Share a supported archive from Files to browse its contents. Share other files, such as documents, photos or videos, to add them to a new archive. Mixed selections go to archive creation with all selected files included. OPEN COMMON ARCHIVE FORMATS Read and extract ZIP, ZIPX, 7Z, RAR, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, TAR.XZ, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA and ZLIB. Open compatible password-protected archives and complete multipart sets. CREATE, ENCRYPT AND SPLIT Create ZIP, 7Z, TAR and TAR.GZ from files, folders, photos and videos. Choose compression settings and whether to preserve folder structure. ZIP and 7Z support AES-256 encryption and split volumes, including custom volume sizes. 7Z can also encrypt filenames and offers Copy, Deflate, BZip2, LZMA, LZMA2 and PPMd methods. LOOK INSIDE BEFORE EXTRACTING Browse folders, search filenames and sort by name, size or date. Preview supported files, extract an entire archive or select just the items you need. Choose a destination and how to handle existing files. WORK IN BATCHES Extract multiple archives into separate folders, or create a separate archive for each selected item. Track progress and results in the task center, cancel running work and retry eligible failed or interrupted tasks. Live Activities show progress where supported and enabled. IMPORT, ORGANIZE AND SHARE Import through Files or the Share sheet in compatible apps. Open an archive once or keep a copy in SpeedZip. Manage imported archives, extracted folders and created archives in one place. Preview, rename, delete, share and export supported items. Save supported extracted images and videos to Photos, or export results to a folder you choose. CHECK ARCHIVES AND MANAGE STORAGE Inspect signatures, extensions, archive structure and path risks. Run full data tests for supported formats without publishing extracted files. View storage usage by category and remove expired caches, temporary sessions and abandoned Share drafts while keeping imported, extracted and created results. USE SHORTCUTS Open archives, start a new archive, test archive data, extract in batches or create separate ZIP and 7Z archives through supported Shortcuts actions. Use the app for operations that require a password; passwords are not passed through Shortcuts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Archive processing does not upload file contents or passwords. No account is required, and archive passwords are not saved or recoverable. Compatibility depends on the format, compression method and encryption used. RAR and ZIPX support browsing and extraction, not creation. Archive checks assess structure and data integrity; they are not antivirus scans.

ThreadMapper shows what your Thread smart home says about itself. Most Thread devices are invisible. They just work, until they don't, and there's no way to tell which one dropped, which border routers you really have, or whether a quiet sensor is asleep or gone. WHAT YOU GET • Network health at a glance: an A–F grade with a clear score, and the specific issues pulling it down • Better than yesterday? A line under the grade saying whether today is up or down on yesterday, and which rule moved it • Every battery in one list, emptiest first, with the room • Your Thread devices, apart from the rest: the ones that say they are on Thread, and every other accessory labelled for what it is, behind a bridge or not yet known • Mesh map: your Thread devices by room, and the links they report • Offline alerts that respect quiet: a sleepy sensor gets two hours before it is called offline, and devices that go quiet together are one event • Device history: uptime, reboots and firmware changes • Apple Watch app: your grade on your wrist • Home-screen widget and Live Activity for at-a-glance status HONEST ABOUT ITS DATA ThreadMapper shows only what a device or the network states. A device is Thread when it says so. A border router is one the network proves. A line on the map is a link a device reported. iOS doesn't expose radio signal strength for Thread accessories, so there is no signal figure: a device's page shows how quickly it answered, in milliseconds. The battery level is what each accessory reports about itself. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone, and the AI features run on device. Your network data is never uploaded. THREADMAPPER PRO: a one-time purchase, not a subscription • AI Insights, Network Assistant and a troubleshooter that reads this device's history, on device with Apple Intelligence • What the radios say: why a device rebooted, how often it changed parent router, how often a battery device wakes, and how many apps and households can still control it • AR room mapping and X-Ray: scan rooms into a floor plan, place each device where it really is, and see the links your devices report drawn through your real home • Your year on one card, your mesh as a twenty-second film, and as an A2 poster a print shop will take • A year of daily grades on one calendar, no Apple Intelligence needed, a month of history, weekly reports, and when your home is at its worst • Export every health sample, daily grade and battery reading as CSV or JSON, and import them on a new iPhone • Jobs and evidence sheets: a page for a client showing what a visit changed, and a page per device for a warranty claim • Device groups, multiple homes, scheduled reports and a pinned-devices widget REQUIREMENTS ThreadMapper reads your network through HomeKit, so you'll need a home with at least one Thread border router, such as a HomePod mini or an Apple TV 4K. Border routers are found through Local Network access. AI features need iOS 26 and an Apple Intelligence-capable device. Room scanning needs a Pro-model iPhone with a LiDAR scanner. Want to look around first? Turn on Demo Mode to explore the whole app with a simulated network, no hardware needed.
