About

Inspektor

Read full description

Win the morning and you win the day. It starts with a made bed. Inspektor turns the first five minutes of your day into a ritual with stakes. Your alarm rings. You report for duty. You photograph your room, put in five minutes of work, photograph it again, and stand for inspection. An AI sergeant reviews your photos and delivers the verdict: a score out of 100, a delta on yesterday, and a piece of their mind. Pass the bar and your streak lives. Slack off and you will hear about it. Your first inspection is free. Inspections after that require an Inspektor Premium subscription, detailed below. THE INSPECTION Two angles, from the doorway and from the other side, before and after. The AI looks at your whole room: the bed, the floor, the surfaces, the chair that collects clothes. Deliberate and orderly is respected. Mess is named. The standard is the standard. THE SERGEANTS Eight inspectors with eight tempers, from a deadpan American to a German precisionist to a theatrical Nigerian-British showman who appears on your comeback days. You never know who walks in. They are fictional, they are AI-voiced, and they want you promoted. THE LADDER Every passed inspection feeds your streak and your rank, from Recruit up the ladder. Miss a duty day and there is a mercy rule: pass the next one and the sergeant looks the other way, once. Real life happens; the ladder allows for it without going soft. YOUR MORNINGS, YOUR TERMS You choose your duty days and your wake time. Rest days owe nothing. The alarm is a real system alarm, so it rings like it means it. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No accounts, no sign-up, no user database. We cannot identify you and we never see your name or email. Your photos are analysed by AI over an encrypted connection to produce your score, are never used to train AI models, and are automatically deleted, both from your iPhone once the analysis is done and from the AI provider's systems within 30 days. Your scores, streaks, and settings live only on your iPhone. No ads, no tracking, no data sale. Delete the app and everything is gone. SUBSCRIPTION (Required after your first inspection) Your first inspection is free, no purchase needed. Every inspection after that, including the sergeants' verdicts, your streak and your rank, requires Inspektor Premium, an auto-renewing subscription: Yearly: EUR 29.99 per year, with a 3-day free trial Weekly: EUR 3.99 per week, no free trial Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Prices may vary by region. Privacy Policy: https://jnlaurentjosi.github.io/inspektor-privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Inspired by the famous graduation speech about making your bed: if you want to change the world, start by getting the first task of the day done, properly. Inspektor just adds a sergeant who checks.
