Scrapbook
Let's face it: you're a bit of an avid Playdate photographer. Whenever you find something funny, unexpected, or just plain cool, you take a screenshot of it! But don't you wish there was an easy way to keep tabs on your screenshots, straight from the device?
Well, that's where Scrapbook enters the picture! Using (not-really-)patented shenanigan technology™, this app lets you peek at all the screenshots you have saved on your Playdate, straight from the device! No extra setup necessary.

Rev Checker
This one-time tool lets you see your Playdate's hardware revision. What's that supposed to mean? Hopefully nothing — it's just a CPU swap that was performed in the middle of pre-orders. But it's handy to know for sure which camp you fall into, for the odd debug. The website has more info about the chip swap, as well as the app download.
