About

Prep the day

Features
Read full description

Prep the Day is a morning ritual for getting your day in order. Every morning, open the app and type out everything you need to do today — fast, messy, stream of consciousness. Don't think about order or priority. Just get it out of your head. Then the on-device AI takes over. It reads your dump, pulls out the real tasks, drops the routine "noise," and hands back a clean, prioritized list for the day. One brain dump in, one focused task list out — every morning. ON-DEVICE & PRIVATE • All AI runs on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your text never leaves your iPhone or iPad. • No account, no sign-in, no servers, no tracking. • Works without an internet connection. WHY IT WORKS • A cluttered head makes for a scattered day. Writing it down clears it. • The AI does the sorting so you don't have to organize before you've even started. • Five minutes in the morning saves hours of "what was I supposed to do today?" FEATURES • Brain dump input — type everything on your mind • On-device AI task extraction, powered by Apple Intelligence • Noise filtering — trivial, routine items are dropped • Priority sorting — the list comes back ordered • Edit freely — add, rename, complete, and delete tasks • Session history — every morning's prep is saved on-device • English and Japanese Requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on. Prep the day. Then go live it.
