Grumpy Frenchie is a voice companion with the personality of a French bulldog who did not ask to be here. Tap once, start talking, and get a real answer wrapped in an eye-roll. TALK, DON'T TYPE Hold a natural spoken conversation. No keyboard, no menus. The face on screen listens, reacts, and answers out loud with lip-synced audio. PICK YOUR ATTITUDE - Witty: playful teasing, clean and good-natured - Sassy: blunt, impatient, sharp sarcasm, still no swearing - Uncensored: unfiltered profanity and full-strength roasting, off by default and locked behind an age confirmation STILL ACTUALLY USEFUL Settle arguments, ask the questions you would rather not type, and get a straight answer fast. The attitude is the packaging. The information is real. OPTIONAL DEVICE SKILLS Turn on only what you want, one permission at a time: - Web Search: search the web to give you real up to date information - Calendar: hear what is on today, add things by voice - Reminders and Alarms: set native reminders and alarms through AlarmKit - Weather: local conditions and forecast - Email: draft emails via voice, no more endless typing - Messages: draft messages via voice with pre filled contact and message - Apple Music: start playback without touching your phone - HomeKit: lights, scenes, and accessories - Health: steps, sleep, heart rate, and workout summaries - Live Translation: translate up to 20 different languages Every skill is off until you switch it on, and you can revoke any of them at any time in Settings. HANDS-FREE Say “Hey Frenchie” and he wakes up. Wake word detection runs entirely on your device. FREE AND PRO Free includes 10 minutes of conversation per day, up to 40 minutes per month.
