You can create a fully-fledged website and update it with simple operations. Complete the website just by arranging the selected photos, text and maps. You can tap the portion you want to modify or revise while viewing the website and change it on the spot. You can make these websites for stores, companies, groups, unions as well as websites for your hobbies. Many websites are created under the "Free plan", however if you upgrade to the "Paid plan", you will be able to utilize many useful functions. You can also use your own domain. -------------- We recently celebrated our second anniversary. Thank you to all of you. We are getting approximately 6000 new users monthly. -------------- [How to create a website] Arrange the parts and create a website. When writing any text, just place the text parts and set the sentences in those parts. Select font color, background color, font size and design. A screen is also simple to make. When you want to post photos, just select the photo parts and photos taken with your smartphone. Trimming (cutting) and rotation can be done after selecting a photo. You can change the order, or replicate and delete parts that you have placed. [Recommendations] ◊ Contact You can receive queries and contacts from users who are viewing your website. You can use it as an application form for products and services as well. You can easily change and add the input form and use it as a questionnaire as well. ◊ Phone number You can set a phone call button. This is useful in case of contact by phone. ◊ Slideshow You can display multiple images in a specific order. Recommended to use this on the HOME page to make it better. ◊ Map You can easily add a map (GoogleMAP). It is a highly functional map where you can zoom-in/ zoom-out and move with your fingers. ◊ HTML (Paid plan) This part is for advanced users who can write HTML code. You can place a blog part such as Twitter's timeline. [Free plan] With this plan, you can use our service for free. Most websites are available on the "Free plan".

Screen Actions
Read full descriptionHide full description
Screen Actions turns on-screen text into things you can use — Contacts, Calendar events, Reminders or a CSV — fast and entirely on device. Select text in Safari, share from any app, or scan a photo/screenshot and pick an action. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. What you can do • Add to Calendar — Detects dates/times in text and creates an event. Optional location, alert, travel-time alarm, and geofenced arrive/leave notifications. • Create Reminder — Finds tasks/deadlines and makes a reminder in the list you choose. • Extract Contact — Pulls names, emails, phones and addresses into Contacts (you review before saving). • Receipt → CSV — Converts receipt-like text into a clean CSV you can save or share. Ways to use it • Safari Web Extension — Select text on any webpage, tap the extension, and choose an action. • Share Extension — Send text or images from any app into Screen Actions. • Scan (live) — Use the camera to scan text or barcodes/QR and jump straight into the right editor. • Auto Detect — Paste/scan once; the app picks the best action and opens its editor so you can tweak before saving. iOS 26 “Document Mode” (on supported iPhones) • Reads real tables and structured text on device for better results. • Receipts → CSV v2: photos/screenshots become accurate rows & columns. • Batch contacts: a photographed sign-up sheet can become multiple Contacts. Privacy by design • Everything runs on your device using Apple frameworks (Vision OCR/Document Mode, Data Detectors, EventKit, Contacts, MapKit). • We don’t collect personal data, don’t run servers and don’t use third-party analytics. • Permissions are only requested when you use a feature that needs them (Calendars, Reminders, Contacts, Camera, Location for geofencing). Free vs Pro • Free includes daily usage for key features. • Screen Actions Pro (optional in-app purchase) removes daily limits and adds quality-of-life extras such as “Remember last action” in the Safari popup. Prices are shown locally in the app. Why Screen Actions? • Fast: turn messy text into clean, structured data in seconds. • Accurate: on-device intelligence improves detection and table reading. • Private: no accounts, no tracking, no ads. • Flexible: works from Safari, the share sheet, live scan or paste. Requirements • iPhone, iOS 26 or later. Availability of Document Mode features may vary by device/language.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Crayon at 3 against Screen Actions's 1. Crayon also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
