About

Pocket Council

Read full description

PocketCouncil puts a private boardroom of AIs on your phone. Pick up to three on‑device models (including GGUF models you download from Hugging Face Hub), watch them debate your question, see their peer rankings, and get a single chaired answer—without sending your conversation to the cloud. What you can do: • Browse and download GGUF models from Hugging Face Hub (optional token for gated/licensed models you have access to). • Download compact models (Qwen 0.6B/1.7B/4B, Gemma 3 1B/4B, Phi-3 Mini) and run them locally. • Start a new conversation, choose your council members and chair, and kick off a three-stage debate: responses, peer rankings, then a synthesized final reply. • View each persona’s “thinking” and the aggregate ranking before the chair answers. • Works offline once models are downloaded; history stays on-device via local storage. • No accounts or analytics; terms and privacy live in-app. Designed for privacy-first brainstorming, writing help, and on-the-go use when you don’t have a signal. PocketCouncil is a single-turn experience—one prompt per chat—built for clarity and speed on modern devices.

DashFlare is the Cloudflare client that actually works. Manage your domains, DNS records, and cache directly from your iPhone or iPad. No subscriptions to use the basics, no menu trees pretending to be a dashboard, no broken credential storage. Built by a developer with 40+ Cloudflare zones who was tired of the official app showing a menu and the competition crashing on launch. DashFlare gets out of your way. WHAT YOU GET FREE • Live dashboard with traffic, page views, threats, bandwidth, and cache hit rate • 24-hour and 7-day analytics across your top domains • Browse DNS records for any zone (read-only) • Cloudflare component status (so you know if it's them, not you) • Health checks — ping your own sites with one tap • Up to 3 domains visible at a time WHAT DASHFLARE PRO ADDS • Unlimited domains — see all of them at once • 14-day, 30-day, and custom date-range analytics • Favorites — pin the domains you actually care about • Quick actions — Purge cache, Under Attack Mode, Pause, Dev Mode • DNS write access — Create, edit, and delete records from the app • No upsells inside the app PRO PRICING • DashFlare Pro Monthly — $1.99 / month, auto-renewing subscription • DashFlare Pro Yearly — $19.99 / year, auto-renewing subscription • DashFlare Pro Lifetime — $34.99 one-time purchase, never billed again SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew at the price stated above unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions can be managed and auto-renew turned off by going to your iOS Settings > [your Apple ID] > Subscriptions after purchase. No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period. Lifetime is a one-time non-consumable purchase and is not a subscription. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://vikingnetllc.com/dashflare/privacy.html TECHNICAL HONESTY • Your Cloudflare API token is stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. We never see it. • No backend. The app talks directly to Cloudflare's API. We have no servers in between to collect anything. • No analytics SDK. No advertising SDK. No tracking. Check the privacy policy — you'll see "no data collected" because there genuinely isn't any. • Open standards: REST + GraphQL. Same APIs Cloudflare's own dashboard uses. DARK MODE BY DEFAULT Because you're a developer and your eyes deserve it. PRIVACY https://vikingnetllc.com/dashflare/privacy.html SUPPORT eric@vikingnetllc.com
