Status Magic

Mac OS

You've invested hundreds of hours crafting your iOS app to make it perfect in every way. Don't make a crucial mistake with the best selling tool you have, your screenshots.

Status Magic is an application for adding perfect status bars to your iOS App Store screenshots. Import screenshots from your iOS device and Status Magic will either overlay a clean status bar on top or allow you to easily remove the status bar all together.

Your app should be the centre of attention on your screenshots, not the status bar. To make sure this is the case you should make sure the status bars are free of any distractions. This means no carrier text, no alarms, no in-progress spinner and a fully charged battery. Also add extra polish by matching the iconic time '9:41 AM' that Apple uses in all their iOS promotional material.

iPad, iPhone (3 inch) and the new iPhone 5 (4 inch) screenshots are all supported in both portrait and landscape orientations. Each screenshot is automatically inspected to determine the type and orientation so all that is left to do is pick which default icons should be shown and click Export. Simple!

The new iOS 6 tinted status bar is also fully covered with both the default blue tint colour or any other tint you can dream of.

Finally, Status Magic also allows you to snip the status bar from screenshots or add status bars to screenshots that have already had the status bar snipped off.

What's new

v1.7

★ Added support for adding custom carrier text to exported screenshots.
★ Added support for translucent status bars, see http://shinydevelopment.com/status-magic/translucent-screenshots-help for more information on preparing screenshots for this feature.
★ Slight visual tweaks to exported screenshots to even more closely match iOS.
★ Added a Close All button to the status bar.

v1.6

★ Added support for replacing the status bars for Non-Retina (1x) screenshots for iPhone 3.5 inch (320x480), iPhone 4 inch (320x568) and iPad (1024x768) which should make replacing status bars on marketing images or images intended for a web site much easier!
★ Added support for resizing Retina screenshots to Non-Retina (2x to 1x) as part of the export process.
★ Added support for importing a directory structure of screenshots. Useful if you already have all of your screenshots stored in an existing directory structure. This probably affects you if you have localized screenshots!
★ Added support for exporting files back to their original locations (overwriting the original files). Useful if you are working with lots of screenshots in a directory structure as mentioned above.
★ Paths for images displayed in the bar at the bottom of the window now show a tilde for any image under the users home directory.
★ Bug Fix: When exporting using generated file names Status Magic now distinguishes between iPhone 3.5 inch and iPhone 4 inch images in the file name.
★ Bug Fix: Custom time text no longer attempts to word wrap, oops!
★ Bug Fix: Reordering of screenshots in the lower panel now works again!
