Run your entire practice from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac — no account required, no data collection, and everything syncs securely through your private iCloud. APPLE INTELLIGENCE, KEPT BETWEEN YOU AND APPLE A Client Brief before every session: recurring themes, open threads, what is still owed. A Practice Assistant that answers questions from your own records — who owes you money, what you have not invoiced. Both by Apple Intelligence — on your device or on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, never anyone else. Receipt scanning reads on your device. Needs an Apple Intelligence-capable device on iOS 26 or later. MANAGE YOUR CLIENTS Detailed client profiles with contact details, photos and notes. Reach clients via phone, SMS, WhatsApp or email.
