HiddenCloak turns whatever you're stuck on into a clear plan you can actually follow. Describe a problem in your own words e.g. "I keep procrastinating," "I can't fall asleep," "money stress is keeping me up" and HiddenCloak gives you a short, practical action plan: a few concrete steps for right now, the short term, and the long term. Keep the steps that fit, track what's working, and set gentle reminders to check back. HOW IT WORKS - Ask: describe your problem . - Get a plan: a focused checklist of steps, ordered from "do this now" to longer-term. - Two models (optional): add your own keys for two AI providers and both answer your problem; the stronger answer is kept. Your keys stay on your phone. - Keep & track: save the steps you like and mark what worked or didn't. - Reminders: optional, on-device check-ins on a schedule you choose. - Insights: see your progress and general examples of what's helped with common problems. WHY HIDDENCLOAK - Action, not a wall of text: clear next steps instead of a long article or chat reply. - Your checklists live on your device. If you sign in, what worked is saved to your account too; you can turn that off any time in Profile. - Calm and focused: a quiet space to make progress, one step at a time. - Made for iPhone and iPad. IMPORTANT HiddenCloak gives general, self-help information. It is not medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice, and it's not a substitute for a qualified professional or an emergency service. If you may be in crisis, it points you to appropriate help lines. Describe your problem. Get a plan. Make progress.
