Levin โ€” For people with too much on their mind You're not unorganized. You just have too many things that matter. Your brain is not a to-do list. Most apps expect you to structure everything upfront. That's not how real life works. You think in fragments โ€” half a plan in the shower, a deadline while cooking, a idea you'll forget by tomorrow. Levin catches all of it. Voice, text, image โ€” whatever form it takes. You don't file it, tag it, or decide what it is. You just send it. Levin listens, pulls out tasks and deadlines, and keeps the rest as thoughts you can revisit later. It learns how you think. Over time, Levin understands your priorities, your patterns, what you care about. Suggestions get sharper. Your morning view shows only what matters now โ€” not everything, just what's ready. What Levin does for you: Captures thoughts instantly in any format โ€” no structure required Extracts tasks, deadlines, and priorities from what you say Organizes everything into topics automatically Gives you a calm morning focus view of what actually needs attention Connects related thoughts so nothing exists in isolation Gets smarter the more you use it โ€” your context, your world Extracts payment details from bills and invoices โ€” IBAN, amount, reference โ€” ready to copy This is not another productivity app that makes you feel behind. There are no streaks, no inbox zero, no guilt. Just a place where your thinking accumulates into something useful โ€” and progress happens without forcing it. You don't need more discipline. You need a system that works the way you think. Terms of Use: https://getlevin.com/terms

About

Pattern

Features
Read full description

Pattern reads the seven days you just lived and tells you what they mean. Apple Watch already tracks your sleep, HRV, heart rate and steps. Your calendar already holds every meeting and focus block. None of those apps look across the lines. Pattern does โ€” fully on your device. Each morning you get one short paragraph: "Tuesdays your HRV drops 12% โ€” the days you had three back-to-back meetings before noon." No number dumps, no medical advice, no charts to interpret. The pattern itself. Deep Work sessions are built in. Tap to start a 25, 50 or 90 minute focus block โ€” the timer is wall-clock anchored so it survives the screen locking. Each session gets a one-tap reflection: deep, shallow, or interrupted. Over time Pattern correlates which sessions actually moved you, and adjusts what it suggests next. Everything stays local. The language model runs on device โ€” Apple Foundation Models on iOS 26, or a downloaded open-source model. Your health data, your calendar, your reflections, your sessions โ€” all live in a Files-visible folder on your iPhone. No account, no sync, no servers.
