Load your apps, make a few boxes and tap Sort. HakoRobo the robot carries the apps on your iPhone into the right boxes for you. Too many apps, and the one you want is never where you look? Sorting them into folders by hand is tedious and never lasts. Let HakoRobo do it. Just screen-record your App Library list and HakoRobo reads the apps on your iPhone. Make boxes like “Travel”, “Money” and “Work”, and the robot picks up each app as it rides down the conveyor belts and drops it into the right box. Apps that fit no box simply pass through. Watch it all in 3D, from any angle you like. ■ What you can do • Automatic sorting: HakoRobo works out what each app is for and boxes only the ones it's confident about. You choose how confident (a %) in Settings. • Box widgets: combine heart and star layouts, 24 icon styles and your own photos, and place them on your Home Screen. Tap an icon to open that app. • Fine-tune by hand: add apps to a sorted box or take them out; your changes stay when you sort again. • Quick help: search common questions any time. ■ Getting started 1. Screen-record the App Library list to load your apps (or use screenshots, or pick from a list) 2. Make boxes 3. Tap “Let the robot sort” ■ Your privacy • Screenshots and screen recordings are read on your iPhone and never saved or sent • No accounts, no ads, no analytics ■ Free and paid Loading apps, making boxes, keyword sorting and making widgets are free. Subscribe to “HakoRobo AI” (monthly) for AI sorting, making widgets from your words, robot outfits (8) and asking HakoRobo questions. It renews every month unless canceled (no free trial). Cancel any time in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. ■ About sending to AI When you sort with AI, and only if you agree, app names, their public App Store details and your box names are sent to an AI by TypeSafe (United States). You can turn this off any time in Settings; supported devices then sort with the on-device AI.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HakoRobo at every 3 days against Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite's weekly. Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 27.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
