iToolkit replaces a handful of single-purpose utility subscriptions with one app: 17 tools, one plan, and everything processed on your iPhone. No account. No ads. No tracking. WHY ITOOLKIT • Everything stays on your iPhone. Photos, recordings, documents and 2FA codes are never uploaded. • Undo anything for 30 days. Every deletion in every tool goes to one trash you can restore from. • Verifiable privacy. Settings > Privacy lists every network connection the app made, and why. • Honest limits. Each tool says what it does not do, right on its first screen. STORAGE • Clean – find duplicates, similar photos, screenshots, large videos, old contacts and calendar clutter, and delete them only after you confirm. Does not clear other apps' caches, RAM or "System Data". • Compress – shrink videos (HEVC) and photos (HEIC) without deleting them; compare before you replace the original. Re-encoding always loses some quality. • Vault – hide photos, videos, documents and notes behind Face ID, encrypted on device. A forgotten password without the recovery key cannot be recovered by anyone. TV • Remote – control popular smart TV platforms over Wi-Fi. The TV and iPhone must be on the same Wi-Fi network; no infrared. • Cast – show photos, slideshows and videos on your TV. Protected content from streaming apps cannot be cast; screen mirroring is not included. SCAN • Scan – read any QR code or barcode, free and unlimited, with a safe-link preview before opening. Create styled QR codes. • DocScan – turn paper into searchable PDFs, including ID cards front and back. Does not edit or sign PDFs. • Text Lens – copy text from any photo or the live camera. • Translate – translate text, conversations and the camera offline, in the languages Apple provides on your iPhone. SECURITY • Codes – two-factor authenticator with encrypted backup, Face ID and Google Authenticator import. No code is ever behind a paywall. • Finder – find lost earbuds, watches and other Bluetooth devices nearby. Works only when the device is on, charged and within a few meters. WEB • Safari – block ads and trackers, go dark and skip AMP pages in Safari. Enable it once in Settings. • Network – Wi-Fi speed test, devices on your network, ping, DNS, traceroute and whois. CAPTURE • Record – one-tap voice recorder with on-device transcription and search. Does not record phone calls. TOOLBOX • Measure – level, ruler, AR ruler, sound meter, compass, altimeter, speedometer, magnifier and flashlight. Not certified instruments. • Convert – units, currencies (daily European Central Bank rates), time zones and calculators. • Device – storage, battery and system at a glance. iOS does not let apps read battery health. BUILT FOR IPHONE Widgets, Control Center controls, Live Activities, Siri and Shortcuts, AutoFill for 2FA codes and a "Save to Vault" share sheet. FREE AND PRO The app offers free tools and stated free allowances. Pro adds capacity and extra features. Check each tool's limits in the app. Optional weekly and annual subscriptions and a lifetime purchase are available. The App Store displays the current price, billing period and any offer eligible for your account before confirmation. A free trial is included only when it is explicitly shown for the selected plan and account. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple Account settings. You can manage your subscription there. Prices and offers may vary by country and account. Do not assume a trial is available on every plan.

Glow is one beautiful remote for the cheap LED strips and lights around your home — without a different clunky app for every brand. Designed to feel at home on iPhone, Glow shows your rooms and lights at a glance, and every light opens to a simple remote: power and brightness at the top, everything else one tap away. No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Open it and your lights respond. SCENES Save how your lights look, like a movie night or a slow morning, and bring them all back with one tap from the home screen, Siri, Control Center or your Apple Watch. MUSIC Your lights move with the music playing around you. Pick Pulse, Party, Spectrum or Mellow; in a room, Spectrum gives each light its own band. Sound is analyzed on your iPhone and is never recorded or sent anywhere. ROOMS Group your lights by room. Switch, dim, color and schedule a whole room at once — Glow sends each light what it can show, so a white-only bulb gets the nearest white. ONE APP FOR MANY STRIPS Glow finds nearby lights automatically and speaks their language. • Bluetooth: ELK-BLEDOM, Keepsmile, BJ_LED, Triones, LEDnetWF, SP105E, SP110E, LEDDMX, HiLighting (L7161), iDeal LED and DayBetter, older Govee models, MiPow Playbulb, Moonside and Philips Hue Bluetooth bulbs • Wi-Fi: WLED, Magic Home, WiZ, LIFX, Nanoleaf, Twinkly, Elgato, Shelly, Tasmota, ESPHome and Hyperion, Govee and Yeelight lights with LAN Control, TP-Link Kasa (original local protocol) and Tuya / Smart Life lights with a local key • Hubs: Philips Hue Bridge, IKEA Dirigera and Home Assistant • Apple Home: lights you've set up in the Home app, including Matter lights When you add a light, Glow turns it red and asks if it did. If not, it tries other versions until one works. Strip not recognized? Find Light Type tries each kind of controller. JUST WHAT YOUR LIGHT CAN DO Color strips get the full color wheel. White-only lights get a warm-to-cool picker, lights with warm and cool whites get both, and dimmers and plugs get just brightness and power. COLOR, YOUR WAY A full color wheel that glows in the color you choose, ten one-tap presets and your recent colors. LIGHT SHOWS Play the effects built into your lights. When a strip has named effects, Glow shows animated previews. When it doesn't, Glow turns them into channels: flip through with ‹ and ›, watch your lights change, and star your favorites. Adjust the speed from slow to fast. SCHEDULES Wake up to light and let it switch off at night. On lights that keep their own clock, Glow saves the schedule onto the light itself, so it runs even when your phone is away. For other lights, Glow walks you through a one-time Shortcuts automation. APPLE WATCH A big power button tinted with your light's color. Turn the Digital Crown to dim. Colors, whites, effects and your rooms are one tap away — control one light or a whole room. IPHONE DUO On the big display, your rooms and the remote sit side by side, laid out around the fold in book and tabletop poses. SIRI, SHORTCUTS & CONTROL CENTER "Turn on the lights in Glow." "Turn on Movie Night in Glow." "Dim Glow." Add a Glow toggle to Control Center or the Lock Screen and choose which light it controls. CHECK & FIX Something not quite right? Check This Light walks through power, color, brightness and effects, asking a simple question after each. If red shows up green or the light ignores a command, Glow tries other settings until it responds correctly. PLAYS NICELY Most strips accept only one connection at a time. Glow connects when you use it and lets go when you're done, so your Watch, Siri or another phone can use the light too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Glow talks to your lights directly over Bluetooth or your home Wi-Fi. It doesn't collect, store or share any of your data. Glow is an independent app and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any light manufacturer. Siri, Shortcuts and voice control need your iPhone to be within Bluetooth range of the light, or on the same Wi-Fi network.
