Your habits are who you are becoming. Compass is the simplest way to build daily actions around the things that actually matter — and your first 14 days are completely free. Most habit apps feel like homework. Compass gives your habits a why. Connect each habit to a value — something that defines who you want to be. Then set a direction: a concrete commitment toward that value. The habits you build become committed actions, not just checkboxes. When you complete one, Compass reminds you which value you're living. The unbroken streak is still here. The momentum is still here. But now there's meaning behind it. When you're ready for more, Compass Premium gives you unlimited values, directions, and committed actions — plus cloud sync across every device, a 20-week visual heatmap, AI-powered habit suggestions, reminders, and up to 100 habits. Try it free for 14 days. If premium isn't right for you, your habits and streaks stay with you on the free plan, no strings attached. A subscription unlocks everything. Cancel anytime in Settings.

MangaX AI

MangaX — Read Manga. Right Now. Most manga you want to read hasn't been translated yet. MangaX fixes that. Open any manga site in the built-in browser, tap once, and the translation appears right over the panels — in under 1.5 seconds. The art stays exactly as the artist drew it. Nothing gets cropped, resized, or replaced. The translation engine reads the whole page at once, not bubble by bubble. That means it actually understands what's happening — the tone, the context, who's talking to who — before it translates a single word. Text recognition runs on-device using Apple Vision, so nothing gets sent to a server until it's already been extracted as text. Your images stay on your phone. If you've read a page before, it loads from cache instantly. No repeat processing. No wasted time. MangaX was built by redev.rx studio using Kotlin Multiplatform — the same codebase powering iOS at native speed. Some numbers worth knowing: · Translation time under 1.5 seconds · 98% accuracy across tested titles · 99.9% uptime since launch · 4.8 stars If you've ever put down a series because the translation was months behind — this is for you. Auto-Renewable Subscriptions: - Monthly: $5.99/month, 6M tokens - Monthly Best: $8.99/month, 12M tokens Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Account Settings on the App Store after purchase.
