Your private AI. Helps you · Tries to remember you · Grows with you Why not try saving a digital copy of you (Beta) today? Avatar.gift runs a full AI entirely on your iPhone. No account. No server. Your conversations and memories stay on your device — and you can verify that: after a one-time AI download (about 2.7 GB), the app works fully offline. The only things that go online are the ones you ask for, like a web search, and you can switch those off. MEET YOUR ASSISTANTS Practical helpers for the everyday — set reminders, check your calendar, take notes, track habits, money and goals. Just say it in one sentence. They're fast, focused, and you can give each one their own personality. AND MEET YOUR SOUL (BETA) Something different lives here too: your digital copy, a companion that quietly learns who you are. Share your stories, your people, what life has taught you — just talk, or upload a diary, notes, chat screenshots or a voice note. What you share becomes their memory. They grow with you, get you a little more each week, and they're yours alone. They won't remember everything perfectly yet, but they keep getting better, and every upgrade brings your memories along. WHY PRIVATE MATTERS Most AI apps send every word you type to someone else's computer. Avatar.gift doesn't. The AI thinks on your phone's own chip. What you tell your avatar at 2am stays between you two. HONEST PRICING Free for 7 days from your first message — chat, memory and assistants all included. Then a single purchase makes it yours forever and unlocks a few extras. No subscription. No tokens. And your memories, history and exports are never locked, even if you don't buy. • 100% on-device AI — works offline • Assistants for reminders, calendar, notes, habits, money & goals • A digital copy of you that grows with every conversation (Beta) • Your data is yours: view, export or delete anytime • Pay once, yours forever Before life learns to live forever, who you are already can.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Avatar.gift at every 3 days against Shortcutify's every 2 weeks. Avatar.gift also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
