## What is Pelican?

Pelican is an AI assistant that gets things done on your iPhone. Text Pelican the way you'd text a friend. It plans your day, sets alarms, writes your messages and finds what you need on the web.

All your AI in one app
Use your favorite AI provider, or add a custom one, and pick a different model for any chat.

Your calendar and reminders
Ask what your afternoon looks like, and Pelican checks your calendar and finds a free hour. Ask Pelican to remind you to call the dentist, and the reminder appears in Reminders. You choose which calendars and lists Pelican can use.

Alarms and timers
Set an alarm or start a timer by asking. Timers count down on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and alarms ring even in Silent mode.

Texts and email
Pelican writes texts and emails in your voice, finds who they're for in your contacts, and opens them in Messages or Mail, ready for you to send.

The web, Maps and weather
Pelican reads websites, compares options, finds places in Apple Maps, works out travel times, and checks the forecast wherever you're headed.

Files and photos
Share a PDF, a photo or a document, and ask Pelican to summarize it, explain it or pull out what matters. Every chat keeps its files in its own folder in the Files app.

Made for iPhone
Replies arrive as notifications while you're in another app. Longer tasks keep going in the background, with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen. Find any conversation in Spotlight, and start a chat from Siri, Shortcuts or Control Center.

Pelican Pro
Chatting, the web, Maps, files and photos are free. Pelican Pro adds Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Alarms and Timers, Messages and Mail, Shortcuts, Weather, MCP servers and Profiles. It's a monthly or yearly subscription, and the yearly plan starts with a free week. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, which you can do anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Private by design
Your conversations stay on your iPhone. Your messages go straight to the AI provider you choose. Pelican has no ads and no account to create.
