DuckDuckGo, optional Duck.ai vs PolyPro

At DuckDuckGo, we believe the best way to protect your personal information from hackers, scammers, and privacy-invasive companies is to stop it from being collected at all. That's why millions of people choose DuckDuckGo over Chrome and other browsers to search and browse online. Our built-in search engine is like Google but never tracks your searches. Our browser blocks YouTube ads, invasive web ads, and cookie pop-ups, reducing distractions and helping to stop other companies from collecting your data. While our optional integrated AI features, Search Assist and Duck.ai, are private and never use your data to train AI. Oh, and our browser is free. We make money from privacy-respecting search ads, not by exploiting your data. Take back control of your personal information with the browser designed for data protection, not data collection. FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS Protect Your Searches by Default: DuckDuckGo Search comes built-in, so you can easily search online without being tracked.  Shield Your Browsing History: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection blocks most trackers before they load, greatly exceeding what most popular browsers offer by default.  Chat Privately With AI: Duck.ai lets you have private conversations with 3rd-party AI models, anonymized by us and never used to train AI. Secure Your Email (Optional): Use Email Protection to block most email trackers and hide your existing email address with @duck.com addresses.   Block Ads: Our browser blocks YouTube Ads, and stops invasive trackers from loading on sites, effectively eliminating targeted ads. Automatically Enforce Encryption: Shield your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers by forcing many sites to use an HTTPS connection.  Escape Fingerprinting: Make it harder for companies to create a unique identifier for you by blocking attempts to combine info about your browser and device.  Sync and Back Up Securely (Optional): Sync encrypted bookmarks and passwords across your devices. Clear your tabs and browsing data in a flash with the Fire Button. Banish cookie pop-ups and automatically set your preferences to minimize cookies and maximize privacy.

Polypro - Shared expenses without the surveillance Polypro is a privacy-first expense tracker for households. Track what you spend together, keep what's personal personal, and never hand your financial life over to a third-party server. Built entirely on Apple frameworks — your data lives on your devices and in your private iCloud. -------- Features >Household and personal expense tracking in one app >Voice-to-expense with on-device speech recognition >Smart natural language parsing ("12 bucks coffee at Blue Bottle") >Home Screen widgets for balance, members, voice, and quick-type >iCloud sync for Household Expense >Insights view for spend patterns -------- Privacy first — by design, not by policy No analytics. No telemetry. No crash reporters. Polypro makes zero network calls outside of iCloud. No third-party SDKs. Pure Apple frameworks only — SwiftUI, SwiftData, CloudKit, Speech, AppIntents. Your data stays in your iCloud. There is no Polypro server. We literally cannot see your spending. The privacy boundary is enforced at the data layer, not just hidden in the UI. Private expenses are stored in a separate CloudKit zone from shared ones — they never touch the household record at all. On-device intelligence. Speech recognition and expense parsing run locally on your device whenever your hardware supports it. Works fully offline. iCloud is optional. The app is 100% functional with sync disabled. -------- Household + Private spending — one app, two lives Polypro solves the awkward problem every couple and roommate group runs into: some spending is joint, some isn't, and you shouldn't need two apps to handle both. -------- Budgeting >Per-category monthly budgets with progress tracking. >Household-scoped or personal-scoped budget views. >Currency-aware — every budget carries the household's currency. >Visual progress on the Home and Insights screens — see where you're trending before the month closes. -------- Speak to add an expense Hands full, walking home, just paid for dinner? Tap once and talk. Voice overlay sheet captures speech with on-device recognition. Natural language parsing extracts amount, merchant, and category automatically. Three-tier intelligence chain — uses the most capable model your device supports, with a rule-based fallback that runs in sub-millisecond time. Merchant memory — Polypro learns the categories you assign to your regular merchants and suggests them next time. Review before saving — every voice entry gets a quick confirmation before it lands in your ledger. -------- Widgets Glanceable household finances, right on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Month widget — current household spend and remaining budget at a glance. Members widget — who's contributed what this month. Voice widget — one tap to start a voice expense from your Home Screen. Quick-type widget — jump straight into the add-expense sheet. Live data via a shared App Group store — widgets reflect your latest entries without waiting for sync. -------- What Polypro deliberately doesn't do No "settle up" or IOU tracking — Polypro is about visibility, not enforcement. No bank account linking, no Plaid, no scraping. No receipt OCR or photo storage. No social feed, no leaderboards, no sharing outside your household. Polypro is for people who want to understand their shared spending without surrendering their privacy to do it.
