Ask a question about your own PDFs, contracts, lecture recordings or code, and get an answer with the exact passage it came from. Nothing you import leaves your device unless you allow it. Free to start, no account, no API key. OpenIntelligence reads what you import and answers in plain language, with citations you can tap to see where each claim came from. When your files don't contain the answer, it says so instead of guessing. 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 do the writing. The app shows you how much would be sent and why, and asks you first. Apple says its 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 (paid plans) for each library, and organize ongoing research in saved conversation threads. Siri and Shortcuts actions are available for common document and library workflows. PLANS Every plan runs the same model: Apple Intelligence on your device, Deep Think, and Private Cloud Compute after you approve what is sent. Free: 5 documents, one library, Maximum mode three times a day. Pro lifts that cap and grows to 1,000 documents and 10 libraries, monthly or yearly. Lifetime: one payment, unlimited documents, 20 libraries, Maximum every day, no renewal. 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 habits for everyone, plus weekly targets with Pro. Money & Time Saved (Pro): Add what a quit habit cost you each day and watch the money and hours you keep grow with every clean day. Smart Coach: One next small action under your active habit each day, picked for you. Badges: Eight milestone tiers — Flint, Ember, Spark, Kindling, Flame, Blaze, Inferno, Eternal — unlock 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 (Pro): Life happens. Pause a habit so life does not break your streak. ADHD Friendly: A minimalist interface that reduces overwhelm and focuses on what matters. Focus Sessions (Pro): Stay locked in with timers tied to your habits. Pick a preset or custom duration; each session counts as a check-in. Quit Doomscrolling (iOS, Pro): 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, plus heatmaps, completion rates, and trends in Insights (Pro). Quality Ratings (Pro): 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 (Pro): A full breakdown of your check-in history to identify patterns. POWERFUL UTILITIES Home Screen Widget (Pro): Check in instantly without even opening the app. Customization: Give every habit unique icons and colors. Data Sovereignty (Pro): 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. Daily habits, groups, badges, urge tools, and backdated clean streaks. PRO UNLOCKS EVERYTHING: Unlimited habits and reminders. Weekly schedules. Quality ratings. Focus timers. Quit Doomscrolling (iOS). Money & time saved. Full Insights dashboard and Heatmaps. Home Screen Widget. Badge sharing. Export and import. Pause and resume. iCloud backup & restore (iOS), automatic every 12 hours. Your habits. Your data. Local-first by design.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OpenIntelligence at none against Habit Tracker's shown. OpenIntelligence also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Habit Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
