About

Modus.

Read full description

Modus is the personal context engine that keeps your AI aligned with your life. Declare your identities, commitments, and priorities. Modus keeps them current and surfaces them to your AI tools so every answer reflects who you are and what you are building toward. WHAT MODUS DOES AI tools are transforming how people work. But most of what people actually want from AI goes further than productivity: becoming healthier, being more present for family, building something meaningful, growing into the person they are working to become. Your AI knows pieces of you. What you have asked it. Preferences it picked up along the way. But it has no sense of the whole picture. Modus fills that gap. HOW IT WORKS Define who you are becoming. Set your identities, commitments, and priorities. Not a static profile. A living declaration that evolves as you do. Stay current without the effort. Activity data flows in automatically through Apple Health. A 30-second daily check-in captures your energy, mood, and sense of agency. Your commitments update as you make progress. See what is working. Modus identifies trends in your mood, energy, and agency, then connects them to how you have been spending your time. You start noticing patterns you would not have seen on your own. Give your AI the full picture. Modus connects to Claude and other AI tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). When you ask for help, the answer reflects your actual commitments, your real progress, and what needs your attention right now. WHAT MAKES MODUS DIFFERENT Most approaches to personal AI context rely on inference: watching your behavior and guessing what you want. Custom instructions and context files go stale the day you write them. Modus works differently. You declare your context. It stays current as your life moves. And it is always yours: not used to train models, not sold, not shared. When you connect to an AI tool, you control what flows through. When you disconnect, access ends. FEATURES Identities: Declare who you are becoming and link practices that support each direction. Commitments: Set weekly commitments tied to specific practices with automatic progress updates. Modes: Reusable weekly blueprints for how you want to invest your time across career, health, relationships, personal growth, and home. Patterns: Trends and correlations between your time, your practices, and your experiences (mood, energy, agency, load). Check-ins: 30-second daily reflections that build the data behind your patterns. Plan vs. Lived: See how your intended week compares to how it actually unfolds. MCP Connection: Connect to Claude and ChatGPT so your AI works with your full context. Apple Health Integration: Automatic capture of sleep, workouts, and activity from any connected device (Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop, Fitbit, Oura, and more). Calendar Integration: Protect time for your commitments in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. YOUR CONTEXT. YOUR CONTROL. Your data stays yours. Modus does not sell your data, does not use it to train models, and does not share it with third parties. You control what your AI can see and you can revoke access at any time.

Turn PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and 10 more formats into clean Markdown โ€” entirely on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Your documents never leave the device. No server, no account, no upload. WHAT IT CONVERTS โ€ข PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, ODT, EPUB โ€ข XLS, XLSX, XLSB, ODS, CSV โ€ข PPT, PPTX, ODP WHAT SURVIVES THE CONVERSION Tables, merged cells, footnotes, headings, bold and italic, nested lists, math formulas as LaTeX, embedded images written out next to the Markdown, and โ€” when you convert a whole folder โ€” the folder structure itself. SCANNED PAGES, HANDLED PROPERLY Pages with no text layer go through on-device OCR. The language is detected automatically, so a Japanese invoice and an English contract in the same batch both come out right. Nothing is sent anywhere to make that happen. HONEST ABOUT QUALITY Every conversion comes with a per-page report: how many pages were read directly, how many needed OCR, how many failed, and why. Most converters hand you a file and hope you do not check. DocNavy tells you what it actually managed to read. BUILT FOR MARKDOWN PEOPLE Made for Obsidian, Logseq, Bear and plain-text vaults. Preview the result, read the raw Markdown side by side, then save the .md file wherever you keep your notes. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY DocNavy makes no network requests at all. You do not have to take our word for it: turn on Settings โ€บ Privacy & Security โ€บ App Privacy Report, use the app for a few days, and the domain list for DocNavy will stay empty. The App Store privacy label says Data Not Collected because that is literally what happens. FREE AND PRO The free tier is the whole app: all 14 formats, on-device OCR, whole-folder conversion, zip export and the full diagnostics report โ€” every page of every file, however long. One limit applies: 5 documents a day. Pro removes it and changes nothing else: no extra features, no watermark, no upsell. Take it monthly at $2.99 with a 3-day free trial, or pay $29.99 once and keep it. Either way it is a Universal Purchase, so buying on iPhone unlocks iPad and Mac too.
