Talk things through, organize your day, or find some encouragement. tPal brings AI scheduling, personalized checklists, affirmations, and mood tracking into a chat you can make your own. PLAN YOUR DAY WITH AI Tell tPal what needs to happen, and work out a schedule together. Connect Apple Calendar or Google Calendar so it can plan around the commitments already in your day. Need to fit in a workout, move an appointment, or remember something later? Just ask. Create and update calendar events and reminders in plain language, and see your day laid out directly in the conversation. Tap events to edit them, drag them to another time, or open the full calendar for a bigger picture. AI THAT BUILDS YOUR CHECKLISTS Tell tPal what you're trying to do, and let it work out the list. Planning meals around your diet? Packing for a trip with kids? Tackling a project you don't know how to start? tPal turns your goals, preferences, and conversation into a personalized checklist. Keep talking to refine it. "Make it vegetarian." "Adjust it for four people." "Break that into smaller steps." The AI updates your checklist right in the chat, ready for you to check things off and set reminders. Build repeating routines with reminders, streaks, and milestones to track your progress. AFFIRMATIONS, WRITTEN FOR YOU Get encouragement shaped by your conversations and the areas you want to focus on. Choose when affirmations arrive, swipe through calming video scenes with ambient sound, and revisit your favorites. Edit the words, scene, or music, and share an affirmation as a video. CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF Log how you feel, add journal notes or photos, and look back at your mood patterns. With mood tracking enabled, tPal can adjust its conversation style to your current mood. MAKE THE CHAT YOURS Choose a conversation style that suits you, or create and save your own Chat Vibe. Personalize your colors, fonts, wallpapers, and night mode. Dictate messages and hear replies read aloud in your choice of voice. EXPLORE WITH QUIZZES Browse ready-made quizzes or create one from your own idea. Explore new topics, learn more about yourself, and share quizzes with friends. KEEP WHAT MATTERS CLOSE Find past conversations with chat categories and filters for photos or moods. Save useful messages and insights to return to later. Bring a memory summary from another AI assistant so you don't have to introduce yourself all over again. GET HELP WITH WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU Discuss photos and screenshots, and get answers informed by web search when current information matters. With your permission, Smart Detect helps bring recent screenshots into the conversation. Start chatting without creating an account. Profiles and sign-up are optional.
