Read the time as words, at a glance. Swipe between a large word clock, digital and analog clocks, date and optional location details, a comparison of relaxed and exact time, and a past–present–future timeline. Choose from expressive themes and high-contrast color palettes. Adjust text size, switch between approximate and exact wording, and tap the clock to hear the time spoken aloud. Time phrases are available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese. Add the Home Screen widget to see the time in words without opening the app. Your language and appearance settings carry over to the widget. Location is optional and used only for the details view.

Your files are yours. Upload sites disagree. Every "free online converter" runs your photos, videos and documents through someone else's server, keeps a copy for as long as it likes, and sells the ad space around it. ConvertAll ends that. Pick a file. Pick a format. Done. Nothing leaves your device. Not once. Not ever. 48 FORMATS. ONE APP. ZERO UPLOADS. Images: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP, ICO, plus ICNS on Mac. Video: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, M4V, FLV, TS, MPG, 3GP, ProRes 422, ProRes 4444, and video to animated GIF. Audio: MP3, AAC, M4A, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC, AC3, OGG Vorbis, Opus, WavPack. Rip the audio track straight out of any video. Documents and data: PDF, TXT, RTF, Markdown, CSV, TSV, JSON, YAML, XML. Subtitles: SRT, VTT, ASS. Archives: bundle a finished batch into ZIP, TAR or TAR.GZ. Images to PDF: one page per image or one combined document, original size or A4. That is 48 formats on iPhone and iPad, 49 on Mac. Real ones. If a format appears in the picker, it works. PRIVACY IS NOT A SETTING HERE. IT IS THE ARCHITECTURE. ConvertAll makes no network requests. None. No account, no sign in, no analytics, no crash reporting, no tracking, no "anonymous usage data". The FFmpeg engine inside the app is compiled with networking disabled at the source level. Airplane mode changes nothing. Your files stay in the app until you export them yourself. Watch what you save: the Impact board counts every megabyte you never uploaded, every byte you trimmed and the CO2 that never had to be burned in a data center for your file. PAY ONCE. OWN IT. NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED. Free to download with 90 days of full access. Everything unlocked, no payment details up front. After that, buy once and keep it: Standard: every conversion, every format, the batch queue, presets, widgets, Shortcuts, history. No time limit. Premium: everything in Standard plus custom color themes, custom accent colors and alternate app icons. Premium Upgrade: for people who bought Standard first and want the extras later. There is also an optional monthly Supporter subscription for people who want to fund development. It unlocks Premium while active, and nothing is locked behind it that you cannot simply buy outright. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WITH MORE THAN ONE FILE Batch queue up to 500 files, with progress, ETA, pause, retry and cancel Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can put the phone down Quality slider, resize, crop, EXIF stripping Presets for web hero images, favicons, OG images, retina sets and thumbnails Smart palette optimization for GIF output Conversion history you can clear whenever you want, or automatically on every close Home Screen widgets: Stats Board, Recent Conversions, Format Shortcuts, Queue Status Shortcuts actions: convert images, video, audio and documents from any automation Share sheet, Files app, and drag and drop on Mac Dark mode, light mode, and themes that actually look good English, German, French and Japanese One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Made by one developer who got tired of uploading a HEIC to get a JPEG back. If that is you, welcome home. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
