You already have the answers. They're just buried in a 300-page manual, a folder of contracts, a semester of lecture recordings, or a codebase you inherited. OpenIntelligence reads what you import and answers questions about it in plain language, with citations you can tap to see exactly where each claim came from. And when your files don't actually contain the answer, it tells you so instead of guessing confidently. ANSWERS START IN YOUR FILES Not in a chatbot's imagination. OpenIntelligence searches your library first, pulls the exact passages that matter, and only then writes, using Apple's on-device Apple Intelligence models. Requires an Apple Intelligence-capable device: iPhone 15 Pro or later, or an M1-or-later iPad or Mac, on iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26. Your device already had the intelligence. This gives it your knowledge, and rules of evidence. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Summarize long documents, recordings, or entire libraries. - Compare claims and details across multiple sources. - Find exact facts, dates, specifications, measurements, and table values. - Ask follow-up questions without losing the sources or the thread. - Choose Standard for quick factual work, Deep Think for multi-step questions, or Maximum for broader evidence synthesis. BRING YOUR OWN MATERIAL Import PDFs, Office documents, text and Markdown files, CSVs, code, images and scans, audio, or video. Pages, Numbers and Keynote files need to be exported to PDF first. OpenIntelligence extracts text, uses Vision OCR where needed, transcribes speech, and builds a searchable index for each library. HOW ANSWERS ARE BUILT Exact keyword matching and semantic search work together to retrieve the passages that matter. Apple Foundation Models turn those passages into a natural-language response. Then the app checks its own answer against the passages it actually used, so you can inspect what it's standing on instead of taking its word. If the sources do not establish an answer, the app flags weak support or abstains. No confident filler. WHERE YOUR FILES GO (AND DON'T) Reading your files, searching them, and choosing what to cite all happen on your device, start to finish, before anything is written. On-device answers need no connection at all. On a plane, in a dead zone, in a locked-down office, your library still works. For longer, evidence-heavy questions on iOS, iPadOS or macOS 27, you can optionally allow Apple Private Cloud Compute to write the answer. The app shows you exactly what would be sent and asks you to approve it first, and Apple's servers keep nothing afterwards. Your material is never sent to a third-party AI provider. ANSWERS YOU CAN INSPECT Inline citations connect answers to their supporting pages and passages, one tap from claim to source. If you want more, response details go deeper: source snippets, retrieval quality, verification warnings, timing, and the route that actually produced the answer. The optional telemetry interface goes deeper when you want it and stays out of the way when you don't. LIBRARIES THAT FIT YOUR WORK Keep different subjects, projects, or clients in separate libraries. Choose Local Only or iCloud Drive for each library, and organize ongoing research in saved conversation threads. Siri and Shortcuts actions are available for common document and library workflows. OpenIntelligence is built and maintained by one developer. Pro and Lifetime support directly fund continued development. To everyone already supporting the app: thank you. It has been a wild journey.

Most habits fail in the first two weeks. HabitGate helps you beat that. Whether you are building a fitness routine, journaling, or quitting a bad habit, HabitGate keeps your progress organized in one place. NO ACCOUNT. LOCAL-FIRST. JUST YOU AND YOUR GOALS. Your habit data stays on your device by default. No sign-up and no HabitGate account required. The only habit-data sync option is optional iCloud backup (iOS Pro), which syncs to your personal iCloud — never to our servers. We may use privacy-conscious attribution to measure ad performance, as described in our Privacy Policy. WHY HABITGATE? Unlike other trackers, HabitGate handles both Build and Quit habits with dedicated tracking logic for each. Most apps just count up; we help you count down, stay away, or reach new heights. One app, two directions, total clarity. STAY ON TRACK Smart Routines: Daily and weekly schedules that fit your lifestyle. Daily Tips: Short, personalized guidance under your habit cards — different advice for building vs quitting, refreshed daily. Smart Coach: One next small action under your active habit each day, picked for you. Badges: Six milestone tiers per habit — Spark, Kindling, Flame, Blaze, Inferno, Eternal — unlock automatically as your streak grows. Habit Groups: Organise habits into groups like Morning, Exercise, or Work, so your day matches the way you think. Honest Streaks: Already quit something before installing HabitGate? Backdate your clean streak to reflect real progress. Intelligent Reminders: Set a custom habit reminder so you never miss a check-in. Streak At-Risk Alerts: Get notified if you have not checked in before your set time, so you never lose a streak. Built-in Rest Days: Life happens. Build pause days in so life does not break your streak. ADHD Friendly: A minimalist interface that reduces overwhelm and focuses on what matters. Focus Sessions (Pomodoro): Stay locked in with timers tied to your habits. Choose presets or a custom duration, then rate your session. Reduce Scrolling (iOS): Pick the apps that pull you in — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and more — and HabitGate blocks them in the hours and days you set. Use Bedtime, Work, Evening, or custom times, see how often you were stopped, and turn it off from the habit menu. UNDERSTAND YOUR JOURNEY Visual Progress: Grid view on the Habits screen, heatmaps, completion rates, and trends. Quality Ratings: Log a 1 to 5 score for each entry to track how well you did, not just if you did it. Urge & Slip Log: Log cravings and slip-ups with intensity, trigger category, and notes to spot patterns and recover faster. Urge Rescue: When a craving hits, start a short guided timer with a coping action and log how it went. Historical Insights: A full breakdown of your checklist history to identify patterns. POWERFUL UTILITIES Home Screen Widget: Check in instantly without even opening the app. Customization: Give every habit unique icons and colors. Data Sovereignty: Full CSV export and import. It is your data, your way. Share Progress: Capture and share a progress card for any habit from your habit list. Dark Mode: Beautifully designed for late-night journaling or early-morning planning. CHOOSE YOUR PATH FREE VERSION: Track up to 4 habits. 1 smart reminder per habit. Core tracking and scheduling. PRO UNLOCKS EVERYTHING: Unlimited habits and reminders. Habit Groups for organised routines. Focus & Pomodoro Timers: Custom and preset durations. Reduce Scrolling (iOS): Hard-block distracting apps. Backdated clean streaks for quit habits. Full Insights dashboard and Heatmaps. All Home Screen Widgets. Export and import functionality.
