Your notes, tasks, calendar, expenses, and travel plans stay on your iPhone — and so does the AI that understands them. WHAT'S INSIDE • Notes — Capture thoughts, photos, and voice memos. Panther can summarize, suggest titles, extract action items, and polish your writing on-device. • Tasks — A focused checklist with priorities, due dates, and gentle local reminders. • Calendar — Smart compose lets you type "lunch with Sarah Friday 1pm at Chipotle" and Panther parses the date, time, place, and category for you. • Expenses — Track spending across multiple wallets and currencies. Get budget summaries, category insights, and savings goals. • Travel — Plan trips with bookings, places to visit, packing lists, photos, and AI-generated itineraries tailored to your destination. ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE Panther runs a small language model directly on your iPhone using Apple Silicon. Summarization, parsing, and writing assistance happen locally — your data never leaves your device. Apple Vision powers fast on-device OCR for receipts and notes. Speech recognition is on-device too. WHY ON-DEVICE • Privacy by default — there is no server to leak from. • Works offline on a plane, in the subway, anywhere. • No subscription. No ads. No data harvesting. DESIGNED FOR FOCUS A dark, restrained interface with a tiny mascot. No notifications spam, no engagement loops. Just the tools you reach for, organized.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Ivy at Free against Panther's $1.99. Panther's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
