Hunch

Hunch is an app idea generator that runs entirely on your iPhone. Tap the orb and specific, buildable app ideas surface as floating bubbles, each one dreamed up on device by Apple Intelligence. No server, no account, no feed, and nothing ever leaves your phone. Every idea is a complete concept, not a vague prompt. You get a name, a one-line pitch, the person it is for, the real problem it solves, and the Apple technology it leans on, all capped by a hook that tells you why it is worth building. When an idea clicks, star it to save it, or refine it on the spot to make it weirder, more niche, weekend-sized, or a bigger swing. HOW IT WORKS Hunch uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models, the same Apple Intelligence system built into iOS, to invent app ideas locally in seconds. Because the model lives on your phone, generation is fast, works offline, and stays completely private. There is no prompt engineering to learn: you tap, you get ideas, you keep the ones you like. STEER THE IDEAS Aim the generator at what you care about. Filter by platform (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro) and by category (productivity, health, games, developer tools, education, creative, and utilities). Set the effort from a weekend build to a few months, add your own seed words, or tap Surprise me and see what surfaces. MADE FOR MAKERS Whether you are an indie iOS developer hunting your next side project, a founder validating startup ideas, a student looking for a portfolio app to build, or a hackathon team that needs a concept by morning, Hunch turns "what should I build?" into a sky full of specific, buildable answers. SAVE AND REVISIT Starring an idea saves it to a private, on-device collection that survives every new batch. Browse, search, and share your saved ideas whenever inspiration is needed. Your library stays on your phone, with nothing synced to a server. HUNCH+ (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) Go deeper on any idea with a private, on-device chat. Scope the MVP, poke holes in the concept, test the angle, and plan the first build, all without leaving the app. Hunch+ is $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year. Auto-renews until cancelled; manage anytime in your App Store settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No tracking. No data collection. Hunch works in Airplane Mode, and your ideas never leave your device. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE The interface and the generated ideas follow your device language igence languages, including English, Chinese, French, German,Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and more. REQUIRES APPLE INTELLIGENCE Hunch generates app ideas with Apple's on-device models, so it nee Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later) running iOS 26 withApple Intelligence turned on. On other iPhones the app opens and explains what is missing, but cannot generate ideas.
