Organizing your photos has never been easier. DeferDeck lays out your Photo Library albums in clean, date-by-date sections—your "deck"—so you can organize, browse, and even defer photos to the future, all in one simple place. **What you can do** Clear out screenshots in bulk Select all those piled-up screenshots at once and delete them in a tap. Align several photos to the same date or move them into other albums together—no more one-by-one. Got a photo to send a friend? Share & Delete shares it and tidies up in a single step. Turn images into reminders A sale flyer, a school-event pamphlet, a concert announcement—just set a photo's date to the day it matters, and it'll quietly catch your eye every time you open Photos. Anything you'd rather handle later? Defer it to tomorrow, next Saturday, next month, a specific time of day, or even a random future date. Deferred by mistake? Undo it right after, straight from the toast. Build daily routines Add a photo to Routine and its date rolls forward to today automatically, every day—perfect for a medication note, a stretching routine, or anything you want in front of you daily. Check or remove routine photos anytime from Quick Access. Copy text from screenshots A Wi-Fi password, an order number, a URL—copy any text you spot in a screenshot straight from the detail view, no retyping required. Create images with text Tap the + button and choose Create Memo to turn a note into a photo. Add a label and it's automatically filed into a matching album, so it's easy to find later. Relive your memories Open an album from a trip or a special day, choose a date, and jump straight to that day's photos. The moments you're looking for, right at your fingertips. **Key features** - Albums shown in date-by-date sections - One-tap jump to any date - Bulk select, delete, and add to albums - Share & Delete—share and organize at once - Batch-change or defer photo dates, with time-of-day and random options - Undo a postpone right after you make it - Routine photos roll forward to today automatically - Copy text from screenshots in one tap - Create text images, auto-filed by label

Know where a link goes before you tap it. BeforeTap reveals the destination behind shortened, tracking, and unfamiliar URLs. Paste a link, scan a QR code, or share a link from another app. QR links receive the same destination, redirect, and warning-sign checks as pasted links before anything opens. See what changed - The final destination and real domain - Every redirect hop and HTTP status code - DNS, SSL, WHOIS, and useful technical details - URL warning signs explained in plain language - Tracking parameters that can be removed Use it anywhere - Paste or type a URL - Scan and check a QR link with the camera before opening it - Check a QR link from a photo or screenshot - Send a link to BeforeTap from the iOS share sheet - Run Inspect URL from Shortcuts or Siri - Copy or share the final destination - Share a polished PDF inspection report - Copy a cleaner link without common tracking tags Private by design No account. No ads. No analytics. Your inspection history stays on your device and can be deleted at any time. Submitted links are processed by T.LY's link-tools services to resolve redirects and return the inspection report. Clear, honest results BeforeTap points out structural warning signs such as unencrypted HTTP, encoded domains, direct IP addresses, unusual ports, deep subdomains, and long redirect chains. It does not label a link “safe” or pretend to replace antivirus software. A clean result is not a guarantee. When a link involves money, passwords, or personal information, use the organization’s official app or type its known address yourself. BeforeTap is free and supported by T.LY.
