Your videos are eating your storage. Deleting them hurts, and cloud plans add up — LeanVid opens a third way. It compresses videos by lowering only the bitrate while preserving quality (resolution, frame rate, color, HDR, and every track), then safely replaces the originals — but only after each result passes an integrity check. ■ MADE FOR YOU IF • You keep seeing "iPhone Storage Almost Full" • You can't bring yourself to delete family or travel videos • You'd rather not add another monthly fee just for more cloud storage ■ COMPRESSION THAT PROTECTS QUALITY • Lowers only the bitrate — resolution and frame rate stay untouched • Best-effort preservation of HDR (HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision compatible) and color information • Audio, subtitle, and metadata tracks are copied as-is (only audio that MP4 can't hold is converted to AAC) • Compare before and after with side-by-side, top-bottom, or slider playback — see for yourself, then decide • Detailed spec comparison: codec, bitrate, HDR, frame rate, and more ■ VIDEOS OUTSIDE YOUR PHOTO LIBRARY, TOO • Pick videos from the Files app (On My iPhone, iCloud Drive) and compress them • Files your iPhone can't play are handled by the built-in converter — MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, TS, MPG and VOB files with VP9, AV1, VP8, MPEG-1/2/4, DivX, Xvid, WMV or Motion JPEG video • Their audio (AAC, MP3, AC-3, Opus, Vorbis, WMA, PCM) is converted along with the video; subtitle tracks and iPhone spatial audio are not carried over • Replace the original file or save the result to your photo library ■ SAFEGUARDS FOR YOUR ORIGINALS • Replacement proceeds only after the result passes integrity verification • Deleting originals goes through the iOS system confirmation, and they stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days • A recovery journal safely rolls back interrupted work if the app quits mid-task • Compression history lets you re-compare or export anytime ■ SAVINGS THAT REPEAT EVERY MONTH • A lighter library lowers your cloud usage too • Once usage drops below a plan tier, downgrading one step saves you money automatically every month • Not a one-time cleanup — savings that show up on every bill ■ NO WAITING AROUND • Compression continues in the background (iOS 26+ devices; earlier versions pause and auto-resume) • Track progress from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities • Sort by size to start with the videos that free up the most space • Videos stored in iCloud are downloaded and processed automatically ■ PRIVACY • Everything happens on your device — no data about your videos is ever collected or transmitted • No contradiction: an app that cuts your cloud fees never uploads your videos to a cloud of its own • No account required About the permission it asks for LeanVid needs access to your photo library to find compressible videos and to replace originals after verification. Originals are deleted only with your confirmation. Videos from the Files app need no extra permission — only the files you pick are accessed.

Your photo, in the meme. Pick a meme you like. MiMeMo reads the pose in it, shows you how to stand, and puts your photograph where the original was. What comes out is yours — not a screenshot with a face pasted on it. And when you are not making a meme, it is a proper editor for everything else you post. MATCH MY PHOTO Point MiMeMo at your camera roll and it finds the memes your photographs already fit. No scrolling a library — the pose does the searching. A REAL EDITOR • Layers: photos, video, text, shapes and freehand drawing • 3,000+ stickers and 50+ typefaces • Filters, adjustments, crop, flip, shadows and outlines • Backgrounds: solid, gradient or texture • Any ratio — square, story, portrait, landscape FRAMES AND GRIDS Drop your pictures into a polaroid, a strip or a collage layout. Move each one inside its opening, set the gutter, pick its colour. YOUR BRAND KIT Keep your logos, your colours and your own typefaces in one place and reach them from inside the editor. Import a font straight from Files. AI EDITING Remove an object, expand a photograph past its edges, or cut a subject out of its background. EXPORT 1080×1350 by default, at the quality you choose. Split a tall design into slides, or write the whole thing out as video. ———————— MIMEMO PREMIUM AND PRO MiMeMo is free to use, and free is enough to finish a post: layers, text, stickers, filters, drawing and export are all included.

MiMeMo Pro — $9.99 per month, or $59.99 per year Everything in Premium, plus Match My Photo, frames, grid layouts and the AI editing tools. Both yearly plans begin with a 7-day free trial.
