Image filter doesn't handle DCO correctly

What’s happening: When I select the format filter “Image,” it excludes image ads that have multiple ratios (DCO) — even though most image ads are DCO. And when I select the “DCO” filter, it includes videos too. Expected behavior: Selecting “Image” should return all image ads, including multi-ratio/DCO image ads. The “DCO” filter should not include videos. Impact: It’s currently impossible to filter cleanly for images only (with and without multiple ratios), since the two filters overlap incorrectly. This makes image-only research unreliable. Steps to reproduce: Apply the format filter “Image” → multi-ratio (DCO) image ads are missing from results. Apply the format filter “DCO” → video ads incorrectly appear in results.

Add a "Run-Time" Filter — The Single Biggest Signal of a Winning Creative

Problem: When researching competitor ads, the strongest indicator that a creative actually works is how long it’s been running. Brands kill underperforming ads fast, so anything live for 30+ days is almost certainly a proven winner that’s survived rigorous testing. Right now there’s no way to filter a brand’s library by run-time — I have to manually scroll through every ad, check launch dates one by one, and eyeball which are evergreen vs. just launched. On a brand with hundreds of active ads, that turns a 5-minute task into an hour of clicking. Request: Add a “Run-Time” filter alongside the existing filters (format, platform, etc.) with preset ranges: 7+ days, 15+ days, 30+ days, 3+ months, 6+ months, 12+ months. A custom date-range input on top of that would be the cherry on top for power users. Why it matters: For creative strategists and performance marketers, run-time is the #1 first-pass filter. It instantly separates noise (ads launched this week that might flop) from signal (ads that have proven themselves). Without it, the library is a haystack. With it, it’s a curated list of winners worth studying.

Swipe ads from your phone (mobile swiping)

The ability to swipe ads into CopyThief directly from a phone. Right now swiping happens on desktop, but a lot of ad discovery happens while scrolling on mobile Instagram, TikTok, Facebook feeds. When I spot a great ad on my phone, I want to save it to my swipe file in a couple of taps instead of having to remember it and recreate it later on desktop. The problem today Most competitor and creator ads show up while I'm browsing on my phone. To swipe them I currently have to either email myself a link, screenshot it, or wait until I'm back at my computer, and by then I've usually lost the ad or the context. Good inspiration slips through the cracks. Key things it should do Save an ad to a chosen swipe folder from the phone in just a tap or two. Capture the original ad (creative + link/source) automatically, not just a screenshot. Let me add a quick tag or note while saving so I remember why I swiped it. Sync instantly so the ad is waiting in my desktop swipe file. Why it matters Ad inspiration is mostly discovered on mobile. Capturing it the moment I see it means a fuller, higher-quality swipe file and less lost inspiration, which is the whole point of CopyThief.
