Langdock vs Cumbersome

Langdock brings your workspace's AI to your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Chat with the models your company provides, use your team's agents and projects, search the web with sources, and let agents work in your connected tools, always with your approval. Langdock is built for work. You sign in with your organization's account, and your workspace admin decides which models, agents and integrations you can use. CHAT WITH YOUR WORKSPACE'S MODELS • Pick any model your workspace offers, or leave it on Auto and let Langdock choose • Set how hard a model thinks: higher levels take longer for better answers • Watch answers appear as they are written, with tables, code, math, charts and images • Regenerate an answer with a different model • Attach photos, take a picture, add files or files from your integrations, or paste, and ask about them • Files the AI creates arrive as cards you can open, preview and share WEB SEARCH AND DEEP RESEARCH • Search the web in a chat and see numbered sources next to the answer • Open the sources sheet to check where a claim comes from • Start a deep research run and read the finished report with its sources AGENTS, PROJECTS AND PROMPTS • Find your team's agents, pin your favorites and start a chat with one • Type @ in the message box to mention agents, integrations, knowledge folders and saved prompts • Keep instructions, files and chats together in a project • Pin, rename, search and organize your chat history, and switch between workspaces INTEGRATIONS, WITH YOU IN CONTROL • Agents can act in your connected tools, such as your CRM or your mail • When an action needs your OK, Langdock shows what it is about to do and waits for you to Confirm or Deny • Choose which connection to use, or reauthorize or add one without leaving the chat VOICE • Dictate a message with your voice on iPhone or Apple Watch ALWAYS WITHIN REACH • Live Activities and Dynamic Island: follow a long answer from the Lock Screen, see its steps, and get notified when it is done or needs you • Widgets: ask from the Home Screen, or add New chat, Dictate and Latest chat to your Lock Screen • Control Center and Action button: start a new chat or dictate with one tap • Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight: "Ask Langdock", start a new chat, search your chats or open an agent • Quick actions: press and hold the app icon for New chat, Dictate, Camera or Search • Share extension: send text, web links, images and PDFs from any app straight into a chat (up to five files, 25 MB each) APPLE WATCH • Ask with your voice, read the answer on your wrist, reply with a quick tap and pick up recent chats • Add Langdock to your watch face or Smart Stack for one-tap access • Your watch signs in through your iPhone, so there is nothing to set up MADE FOR iOS 26 • Native SwiftUI design with Liquid Glass, light and dark mode, and Dynamic Type • iPhone and iPad, with the iPad in every orientation • Available in English and German • No ads, and no third-party tracking in the app Langdock requires iOS 26 or later and a Langdock workspace account. Ask your workspace admin if you do not have access yet.

Use Apple Private Cloud Compute, your API keys, or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. I built Cumbersome because consumer AI apps kept dumbing things down. Cumbersome is the manual transmission of AI apps: more complex, but with far greater control. WHY I BUILT THIS Consumer AI apps hide the controls I want and lock me into one provider. I wanted direct API access, the freedom to pick and compare models, and to pay providers for what I use. This is the app I use every day, so I pay attention and try to get it right. SUPPORTED PROVIDERS - Apple Private Cloud Compute - ChatGPT / OpenAI - Claude / Anthropic - Gemini / Google AI Studio - OpenRouter multi-provider - Vercel AI Gateway multi-provider - Z.ai - OpenAI-compatible custom endpoints, including Ollama, Azure, LM Studio, Groq, Together, and self-hosted backends WHAT YOU GET - A versatile API client. One app, every major provider and model. - Total control. Pick your model, tune the parameters, switch providers mid-conversation. - Compare models head to head. Stream multiple chats in parallel and let an AI judge pick the best. - Bring your own tools. Local browser use, reasoning, web search, image generation. - Rich, editable conversations. Markdown, LaTeX, code blocks, attachments, edit and export anything. - Private by design. iCloud sync across devices. Nothing saved to our servers. - Native and accessible on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
