Sockpuppet AI vs Open Minis

On average, you waste a full four hours of your valuable time every week on slow, annoying, and frustrating websites. That's 208 hours per year, or almost nine days annually. With a life expectancy of 90 years, that's a full two years of your life wasted on tedious, repetitive tasks on websites. That's all over now, because from now on your sockpuppet will take over for you. * * * No technical knowledge or programming skills required * * * # That's how Sockpuppet works Automate cumbersome tasks on websites in four easy steps. 1. Go to the website and start automating 2. Enable target capture and tap the element for the action 3. Define actions, enter details, save, and execute 4. Review, execute, and automate the process 5. Optional: Automate via the Shortcuts app and connect to Siri # This is what the Sockpuppet can do - Execute all automated processes without having to open the app - Process complex website content with AI prompts - Click, fill out forms, enter text, read text, and wait - Log in and retain session data with cookies - Wait states and execution delays for particularly slow websites - For advanced users: full view of all elements in the source code with code navigation # Application Examples of Sockpuppet - Determining available appointments with offices, authorities, and other organizations - Checking prices and availability at online shops, restaurants, delivery services, museums, and more - Extracting information from websites, such as waiting times at airports - Logging into user accounts, checking account balances, and reading new messages # Is Apple Intelligence absolutely necessary? Sockpuppets also work on devices without Apple Intelligence, but the AI features will then be unavailable. It is recommended to use a device with full Apple Intelligence support. # Privacy and Security Sockpuppet doesn't have its own servers, doesn't collect any of your data, and doesn't analyze anything. Its AI functions run locally on your device, without an internet connection, using Apple Intelligence. Sockpuppet only connects to websites you've explicitly visited. Entered passwords are encrypted with a unique master key in your Apple Keychain. No one can see what you do with your Sockpuppets, not even the developer of Sockpuppet. # Developer's Greeting My name is Jan Kammerath, and I'm the developer of the Sockpuppet. I've been developing software for over 25 years. Every day, I have to waste time on websites that I find cumbersome and difficult to navigate. This annoyed me so much that I invented the Sockpuppet. I use Sockpuppet myself every single day. It saves me time, gives me back my free time, helps me perform actions quickly, and find information easily. Besides Sockpuppet's ease of use, security and data protection are very important to me — real data protection, not just bureaucratic formalities. Sockpuppets should be useful everyday helpers that you can trust. I hope you enjoy the Sockpuppet as much as I do. Thank you for choosing Sockpuppet. # Terms of use The terms of use for this application are Apple's EULA (LICENSED APPLICATION END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT) which can be found under: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Minis — Local-First On-Device AI Agent Minis is a local-first, on-device AI agent that goes beyond chat. All your data stays on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded to a server by default. Running locally means lower latency and stronger privacy, while the agent still takes real action: browsing the web, accessing your health data, managing your schedule, controlling your smart home, and automating complex tasks. Local-First AI Agent Unlike cloud-only chatbots, Minis runs directly on your device and keeps your data there. The agent executes multi-step tasks autonomously, using tools and native iOS frameworks to get things done — not just answer questions, and not just relay everything to the cloud. Multi-Model, Your Choice Bring your own API key. Choose from leading AI providers: • Anthropic Claude • OpenAI GPT • Google Gemini • DeepSeek • Kimi (Moonshot AI) • OpenRouter • Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint Deep iOS Integration The agent accesses Apple frameworks natively: • HealthKit — steps, heart rate, sleep, workouts, SpO₂ • Calendar & Reminders — create events, check availability, manage tasks • HomeKit — control lights, switches, scenes, and smart accessories • Photos — search, organize, and export from your library • Location & Maps — current location, directions, nearby POIs • Vision — OCR text recognition, object detection, barcode scanning • Speech — real-time transcription and text-to-speech • Weather — current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts Built-in Web Browser Navigate pages, take screenshots, extract content, fill forms, and interact with websites — all driven by the AI agent in the background. Skills System Import or create custom AI skills to extend the agent's capabilities. Share skills with others or build your own for specialized workflows. Persistent Memory The agent remembers your preferences, project context, and recurring patterns across sessions — building a personalized assistant that improves over time, all stored locally on your device. Siri Shortcuts Automate AI tasks with Siri and the Shortcuts app. Send prompts with file attachments, wait for results, and chain into complex workflows — all hands-free. Privacy by Design Your API keys and data stay on-device. Fine-grained permission controls let you decide exactly which personal data the agent can access. No account required. No data collected.
