Lyttony vs Plott

Endless creative story openers are now at your fingertips with Lyttony, a rather novel opening-sentence-generator for your iPhone & iPad.   Lyttony creates millions of original and thought-provoking story openers, useful for both teachers and students in creative writing classes, authors or writing clubs needing new inspiration, or just quick ideas for daily writing practice. Lyttony is easy to use. It does not require you to choose from confusing topic lists, play 20-questions, or create an on-line account. You are immediately provided ready-to-use opening lines, with no restrictions on their use. Feel free to copy them as-is into your next best-seller, or edit them to your liking.   Ask Lyttony as many times as you want – there's something for everyone. And if you find a great opener, bookmark it or share it with friends. You can always rewind back to your favorite bookmarked lines later.   Lyttony can send you a new line every day, and create customized stories with your name and your favorite color (and more) woven into in the text. Many more features listed here: * Personalized * You can add your own name, type of pet, favorite color, etc. and Lyttony will weave these into its stories for you. * Customized * The Preferences/Settings page lets you choose a favorite color for the story text. * Bookmark & Rewind * Bookmark up to 10 stories, then tap Rewind to choose a bookmarked story from the list and instantly re-display it. This is good for bookmarking/saving and revisiting prior funny ones, or sending the story-code to friends so they can jump to it it too. * Read Stories Aloud * Lyttony can read your stories out loud, whenever you tap the Speaker/Read button, or automatically with each new story. Tap Settings to choose from any of the installed text-to-speech voices. * Daily Dose * Do you want to receive a daily idea without even running the app? There's a setting for that! Just turn on "Daily Notifications", choose an hour of the day to have it delivered, and every day like clockwork, you will get a new story idea! You can read it in place in the notification center, or tap it to have it displayed by Lyttony. * Global-Sync * Turn on Global-Sync mode and tap in to the "global story-cosmos." All Lyttony users around the world can get the same story at the same time, no matter where they live. So if you and somebody in another country both choose "every hour", then all Lyttony apps will dish out identical stories together every hour. Turn on Global-Sync, set the same time-frequency as your friends, and enjoy synchronized story time. * Share * Send your favorites to friends via e-mail or social media, save them to your photos, or copy/paste them into your writing project. * Shake it up * Shaking your iPad or iPhone will automatically generate a new opener. NOTE: iOS only, Macs are not meant to be shaken or stirred. Need some ideas for your next great story, or stuck trying to think of an opening line for a writing assignment, since "It was a dark and stormy night" is already taken? Let Lyttony provide the impetus to wet the quill, unblock the synapses and pour inspiration into your mind.

Plott is a fast, native graphing calculator for 2D and 3D — a desktop-class grapher rebuilt for touch. Plot a function, a family of curves, a polar rose or a glowing 3D surface, then pan, zoom and orbit at a silky 120fps. Everything works offline, with no account and no sign-in. Type one line and Plott works out the rest — explicit y = f(x), polar, parametric, implicit, inequalities and vectors, all classified as you type. — GRAPH ANYTHING — • Functions, piecewise, polar, parametric and complex curves • Implicit equations and shaded inequalities • Families: sweep a whole set of curves from a single line • Data tables, scatter points and best-fit regression • 3D surfaces z = f(x, y), parametric surfaces, space curves and knots • Vector fields, slope fields, differential equations and attractors • Contour lines and level-curve heat maps — MATH, BUILT IN — • Sliders: drag a parameter and watch every curve update live • Calculus: derivatives, tangents, integrals and area under a curve • Evaluate limits, sums, products, matrices and determinants • Points of interest: tap to snap to roots, intercepts, extrema and intersections • Trace any curve for a live coordinate readout — TRUE 3D — • Real surfaces you can orbit to any angle — free rotation, no gimbal lock • Pinch to zoom, drag to pan, tap to read a point in space • Isometric, top and front view presets • Smooth at 60/120fps and fully offline — MADE FOR PHONE & TABLET — • A calm, high-contrast drafting studio in two themes: a luminous blueprint dark and a warm vellum light • On tablet, a desktop-class side rail edits every object at once • A purpose-built math keyboard with templates for every curve type • Apple Pencil and hardware-keyboard friendly — YOURS, ALWAYS — • Unlimited undo/redo, autosave and session restore • Export to PNG or PDF, or share a sheet as a file • A gallery of first-party examples to learn from Plott is made for students, teachers, engineers and the mathematically curious — precalculus and calculus, algebra and geometry, statistics and beyond.
