Very Authenticator vs BasedApp

Use Very to securely, and privately, approve actions on your account with a palm scan. It’s an easier, biometric-powered version of one-time passwords or single sign-ons. The app uses your smartphone camera to register your palms. Your palm is analyzed and anonymized, so your personal data is kept private. After your palm is registered, a partner site can easily authenticate or approve actions by asking you to do a simple movement within the Very app. It only takes a few seconds. How to get started: Set up your Very account with an email address. Register both your palms by following the directions in the app. On a partner site, you’ll be given the option to authenticate using Very. Scan the QR code with the Very app and complete the simple movement to verify your identity. And you’re done! Very is private, secure, and backed by a decade of palm biometric research.

BasedApp is a private, thoughtful space for working through the decisions that matter to you. Whether you are considering a career move, a relationship choice, a personal goal, or a change in direction, BasedApp helps you slow down, put your thoughts into words, and see the trade-offs more clearly. CREATE A DECISION JOURNEY Start with the decision you are facing, define what success would look like, and name the values, fears, and assumptions shaping your choice. COMPARE THE PATHS Add the options you are considering, estimate your risk and confidence, and explore structured comparisons designed to support your own judgment. SEE YOUR REFLECTION CLEARLY Review a practical summary, trade-offs, option paths, a signal map, and simple heuristic scores. These are tools for reflection, not predictions or recommendations. BUILD A HABIT OF REFLECTION Use guided Coach prompts to think in writing. BasedApp can surface themes from your reflections and bring them into a new decision when you choose. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your decisions, reflections, preferences, and saved analyses stay on your iPhone. No account is required and BasedApp does not provide cloud sync for your decision data. You can delete individual decisions or clear all local data at any time. OPTIONAL AI ASSISTANCE AI-generated insights are available only when you explicitly tap Generate insight or Generate insights. The app sends only the text needed for that request to the BasedApp AI service and its configured AI provider. You can always continue with the on-device heuristic instead. BasedApp is for structured reflection and personal planning. It does not provide medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
