RADIO CREEP: Audio Signal Analyzer transforms your iPhone into a professional-grade acoustic analysis tool. Built with Apple’s high-performance Accelerate Framework (vDSP), it enables researchers, audio engineers, and students to record audio and instantly generate core signal processing metrics for deep insights into sound dynamics. Key features include: - Real-time recording and analysis: Record up to 90 seconds of audio directly on your device. The app analyzes the recording rapidly upon stopping. - Loudness dynamics (RMS profile): View a detailed plot of the Root Mean Square (RMS) energy over time, showing normalized loudness dynamics and identifying patterns of steady sound (music) versus transient spikes (speech/sports commentary). - Acoustic stability score: Automatically calculates a stability metric based on the variance of the RMS energy, predicting the content type (scores below approx 0.15 indicate steady Music; higher scores suggest dynamic Talk/Sports). - Frequency fingerprint (Average FFT): Instantly compute and plot the Average Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) magnitude spectrum, revealing characteristic frequency components masked.

LoqAI is a private AI assistant that runs on your device. Besides chatting, it can now get things done in your mail, calendar, tasks, notes and contacts. Your conversations stay on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. NEW IN 2.0: AN ASSISTANT THAT TAKES ACTION Ask LoqAI to brief you on unread email, plan your day, add an event, create a reminder, save a note or find someone's email address. It picks the right tools and chains the steps itself, for example by looking up a contact and then drafting an email to them. MODULES • Mail — Connect any IMAP/SMTP account (iCloud, Gmail, Fastmail, GMX, WEB.DE and more). Read, search and reply, and let LoqAI summarize messages or draft answers. LoqAI connects directly to your mail provider and keeps your password in the Keychain. • Calendar — Your week at a glance. Create and edit events yourself or just ask. • Tasks — Your Reminders, sorted into overdue, today and upcoming. • Notes — Private notes stored on your device that LoqAI can save, search and update. • Contacts — Look up people, email addresses and phone numbers. Every module is optional. Turn modules on or off in Settings. LoqAI can only access your data after you grant permission. YOU STAY IN CONTROL LoqAI always asks before it sends an email or deletes anything. Every answer shows which tools were used, so you can see exactly what happened. TRULY PRIVATE AI The AI runs on your device. Your messages and conversations are not sent to a cloud AI service or to us. Mail only talks to your own mail provider. MULTIPLE AI OPTIONS • Apple Intelligence — Use Apple's built-in AI with no downloads required • Open-Source Models — Download and run powerful models from Hugging Face, including Qwen, Gemma, and more • Vision Models — Chat about images with multimodal AI that can see and understand photos WORKS OFFLINE Once a model is downloaded, you can chat anytime: on a plane, in the subway, or anywhere without internet. MORE TOOLS • Web reader, calculator, date and time • Football — Live scores and league standings NO SUBSCRIPTIONS LoqAI is free to use. No monthly fees, no token limits, no accounts required. Requirements: • iOS 26+ or macOS 26+ for Apple Intelligence • Downloadable models need device storage (about 1.5–30 GB per model) • Apple Silicon recommended for best performance
