Prep the day
Read full descriptionHide full description
Prep the Day is a morning ritual for getting your day in order. Every morning, open the app and type out everything you need to do today โ fast, messy, stream of consciousness. Don't think about order or priority. Just get it out of your head. Then the on-device AI takes over. It reads your dump, pulls out the real tasks, drops the routine "noise," and hands back a clean, prioritized list for the day. One brain dump in, one focused task list out โ every morning. ON-DEVICE & PRIVATE โข All AI runs on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your text never leaves your iPhone or iPad. โข No account, no sign-in, no servers, no tracking. โข Works without an internet connection. WHY IT WORKS โข A cluttered head makes for a scattered day. Writing it down clears it. โข The AI does the sorting so you don't have to organize before you've even started. โข Five minutes in the morning saves hours of "what was I supposed to do today?" FEATURES โข Brain dump input โ type everything on your mind โข On-device AI task extraction, powered by Apple Intelligence โข Noise filtering โ trivial, routine items are dropped โข Priority sorting โ the list comes back ordered โข Edit freely โ add, rename, complete, and delete tasks โข Session history โ every morning's prep is saved on-device โข English and Japanese Requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on. Prep the day. Then go live it.
