Mochimo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rough day? That's okay. Mochimo is a gentle journal where you look back on your day by chatting with a soft, squishy mochi friend. Your friend speaks first. It remembers what you told it last time and asks how things went since. Tap a reply or type your own, and keep a record of what happened, how you felt and what you'll try next. NINE SQUISHY FRIENDS Pick a bunny, hamster, cat, bear, harp seal, raccoon, capybara, kiwi or monkey to keep you company. Poke, squeeze or pet it and it wobbles like a fresh rice cake. TALK IT OVER Set a goal and your friend keeps track of the days you made it and the days you got stuck. When a day slips by, it asks what got in the way, never what you did wrong. JUST SAY IT On days when writing feels like too much, say it out loud. Speech is recognized on your device, recordings are never saved, and on supported devices your words are cleaned up so they read easily. THE WAY YOU'VE COME Each week is laid out as seven little mochi. Days you made it turn matcha green, days you just checked in turn golden. The days you missed stay there too. Nothing gets erased. WHAT YOU'VE WRITTEN Look back at what happened, how you felt and what you'll try next, all in date order. WIDGET AND REMINDERS See a word from your friend on your Home Screen, and get a gentle reminder at a time you pick to check in on your day. JUST FOR YOU No sign-up and no ads. Your entries stay on your device and in your own iCloud, and you can lock the app with a passcode. Nothing you write is ever sent to the developer. MOCHIMO PRO Free with up to three goals. A one-time purchase, not a subscription, unlocks unlimited goals, six colors for your friend and exporting your entries as a text file.

Feel the Wind: The Ultimate Sailing Companion WindTalker turns your Apple Watch and iPhone into a real-time sailing instrument โ showing you exactly where the wind is coming from, how fast you're going, and where to point your bow next. TRUE WIND & APPARENT WIND See both the true wind (straight from Apple Weather) and the apparent wind you actually feel on deck โ calculated live from your boat's speed and heading. Point your compass at the horizon and watch both arrows update in real time. OPTIMAL SAIL ANGLE Based on true wind, apparent wind, and your current point of sail โ close-hauled, beam reach, broad reach, or downwind โ WindTalker recommends the sail angle to get the most out of every gust. RACE START COUNTDOWN Cycle through 5, 3, or 1-minute countdowns (or an instant "Go"), with a reaction-delay setting that fires the start signal early so you're moving exactly on time. Voice, beep, and haptic cues keep you counted down without ever looking away from the line. COURSE MARK TRACKING Lay out your waypoints on iPhone and they sync straight to your watch. Live bearing and distance to your next mark, automatic advancement as you round each one โ no more guessing where the next buoy is. BOUNDARY ALERTS Draw a sailing area and get an instant alert โ with a live return bearing โ the moment you drift outside it. Stay safe without staring at a map the whole time. VOYAGE LOG Every session's route, distance, speed, and calories are recorded to Apple Health, so you can relive (and improve on) every sail. Built for Apple Watch, and just as capable solo on iPhone โ WindTalker is the sailing companion that reads the wind so you can glide the water.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WindTalker at none against Mochimo's 4. Mochimo's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
