How this works: every shelf, count and filter comes from facts on each app’s record (what it’s for, the kind of help, how you pay, the listed price). We don’t diagnose or score you, and what you save stays on this device. If a link ever earns us something, or a spot is sponsored, it’s labelled, and it never changes which apps appear or their order.
