SwiftShare

Read full description

Move photos, videos and files between phones and tablets in seconds — over your own Wi-Fi, with no internet connection, no cloud upload and no account. SwiftShare connects two devices directly. Your files never leave the room. WHY SWIFTSHARE • No internet required. Transfers run device to device over local Wi-Fi, or over a shared hotspot when there is no network at all. • Nothing touches the cloud. No upload, no server, no copy of your files anywhere but on the two devices. • No account and no sign-up. Open the app and share. • Every device, one app. iPhone, iPad all discover each other. • Full local-network speed. Gigabytes in minutes, not the hours a round trip through the cloud takes. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open SwiftShare on both devices, on the same Wi-Fi. 2. One taps Receive. The other taps Send, then picks the device that appears. 3. Choose photos, videos, documents, music, archives — or a whole folder. 4. Watch it go. Devices find each other automatically. On a locked-down network where discovery is blocked, scan the pairing QR code or type the short code in by hand instead. BUILT FOR REAL TRANSFERS • Pause and resume. An interrupted transfer picks up from the exact byte it stopped at, never from the beginning. • Live progress. Current speed, time remaining, and the file moving right now. • Nothing gets overwritten. A file whose name you already have arrives as "photo (1).jpg" instead of replacing yours. • Nothing arrives half-written. Files are staged as they come in and only appear once they are complete. • A notification when a transfer finishes, so you can put the phone down. EVERY TRANSFER, ON THE RECORD • History of everything you have sent and received, searchable by file name or device, with favourites that stick around. • Send again. Re-send any past batch to a new device in two taps. • Insights. Total data moved, your fastest transfer, and the devices you share with most. THOUGHTFUL DETAILS • Auto-receive for your own devices — off by default, so nothing lands without asking while you are on public Wi-Fi. • Name your device so people nearby recognise it. • Send text and links, not just files. • Received files stay organised in one place, ready to open or share onward. • English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi and Arabic, with full right-to-left layout. SUBSCRIPTION & PRICING • $79.99/Yearly, $9.99/Week and also with 3-day free trial • 3-day free trial, then auto-renews weekly at the price shown before purchase • Payment charged to your iTunes account at purchase confirmation • Subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24h before the end of the current period • Manage/cancel anytime in your iTunes account Settings Privacy Policy: https://appspolicymanager.com/apps/swiftshare-fast-file-sharing/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://appspolicymanager.com/apps/swiftshare-fast-file-sharing/terms PRIVACY SwiftShare has no accounts and no file servers. Your files travel straight from one device to the other across your local network. They are never uploaded, never scanned, and never stored by us. Both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network or a shared hotspot. Two devices on mobile data cannot reach each other — that direct local connection is exactly what makes SwiftShare private and fast.

PDF Secure Scan automatically detects document edges, corrects perspective, enhances readability and combines multiple pages into one polished PDF. Everything is designed to make scanning fast, simple and reliable. Your documents are processed locally and stored in an encrypted vault protected with strong AES-256 encryption. No account is required, and your documents are never uploaded to the cloud. Add an optional PIN or Face ID App Lock for another layer of protection. Powerful features: • Automatic edge detection and capture • Works offline with no account required • Smart image enhancements • Multi-page scanning, reordering, rotation and cropping • On-device OCR for searchable and selectable text • Search inside scanned documents • Password-protected PDF export • Encrypted local document library • PIN and Face ID App Lock • Add signatures, text, drawings and annotations • Export editable documents to Word • Search and sort your document library • Open, print and share PDFs easily From receipts and contracts to notes, forms and important records, PDF Secure Scan gives you everything you need to scan, organize and protect your documents — quickly, privately and securely.

Paid options unlock unlimited scanning; prices and billing periods are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings. A lifetime purchase is a one-time payment and does not renew. Export important documents to keep your own copies. If the encryption key is lost, we cannot recover your documents. An encrypted device backup containing both the vault and key can support restoration; see the Privacy Policy for details.
