Eidetic

The passwords, the codes, the number someone read out to you on the phone. Eidetic keeps them on your iPhone, gets them back when you need them, and now types them for you when you have to sign in. SIGN IN WITHOUT COPY AND PASTE You save a login β site or app, username, password β and from then on the iPhone keyboard offers it the moment you reach that site. One tap, Face ID, and the fields fill. In Safari and inside apps. The password comes out only after iPhone has checked it is you: iOS asks, not Eidetic. Without that check nothing is filled in, and an address that merely looks like yours gets no password at all. WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU MUST NOT FORGET A password, a PIN, an IBAN, the address of a place. You write it and it stays there, in an archive encrypted with AES-256 that never leaves the phone. A password or a code gets its own field: it copies on its own, without the words around it, and you edit it when it changes. FIND IT WITH ONE WORD Type a word you remember. Search covers everything you saved, not only the latest items, and it is free without limits. FROM SCREENSHOTS TOO Save a screenshot and the text inside is read on your iPhone: from then on you find it by searching a word, and you can reopen the original image. SHARE β EIDETIC From Photos, from Safari, from any app: send Eidetic a screenshot, some text or a link and save it without copy and paste. The app shows you what is about to go into the archive before it writes anything. SEND A LIST WORTH LOOKING AT Places for the weekend, gift ideas, recipes to try: pick what to send and it goes as a page β an image, or a PDF when it runs to several pages. Readable with or without Eidetic. EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE No account, no cloud, no data collection. Search, text recognition and AI all run on the device. Notifications never show what you wrote, the archive is kept out of iCloud backups too, and the credentials used for AutoFill never reach iCloud and never move to another phone. ENCRYPTED BACKUP From Settings you can export the archive to a file protected by a password you choose, to move it to another iPhone. DEADLINES ON WHAT YOU KEEP You can give an entry a deadline: what to do, by when, and when to be warned. The deadline, the renewal date and the warning stay three separate things. "To do" lists them, overdue first. If the note already contains a date, Eidetic offers it together with the sentence it read it from: you confirm. PREMIUM (optional) The first entry that carries deadlines is free; adding them to other entries is part of Premium, together with the written AI answer. Whatever you already created stays readable, editable and completable. A one-sentence answer over the memories a search found, computed on your iPhone. Underneath the answer are the memories it came from, with the exact text you saved. Requires a one-time 2.9 GB download. Writing and searching stay free for everyone. No account also means no password recovery: lose the phone without a backup and the archive is gone. That is the price of keeping it only with you.

MakeYour
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stop downloading another tiny app. Make yours. MakeYour turns a sentence into a native tiny app inside one trusted iPhone app. Build trackers, checklists, calculators, reminder workflows, photo journals, live-data dashboards, ledgers, or gamesβthen keep and switch among them. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD β’ Personal record collections with notes, numbers, dates, totals, completion, and reminders β’ Task lists and local notification workflows β’ Calculators and currency-conversion tools β’ Credited BBC/NPR news collections with local search, topics, and bookmarks β’ Stock and ETF watchlists with latest/delayed Twelve Data quotes and charts β’ Income and expense ledgers with balances, budgets, and category totals β’ Complete original platform and Snake games with touch controls and scoring β’ Photo-first private journals and trackers using selected or captured images β’ Latest daily FX watchlists with a chosen base currency, editable currencies, and threshold alerts β’ Tap-initiated camera, QR/barcode/text scanning, one-time location, contact and text-file selection, today's steps, sharing, clipboard write, and haptic feedback β’ Local voice notes with optional on-device-only transcription, editable review, and no network-recognition fallback β’ Explicitly opted-in tiny apps that open from Apple Shortcuts or Siri through one authenticated foreground action β’ Focused AI helpers that receive only text you explicitly review and send YOUR STYLE, NOT ONE TEMPLATE Generated apps can use different native themes, typography, backgrounds, layouts, spacing, surfaces, imagery, symbols, and colors while remaining accessible and familiar. BRING YOUR OWN OPENAI KEY Your API key is stored in iOS Keychain for this device only. AI requests travel directly from your iPhone to OpenAI. MakeYour does not operate an account or proxy server and never puts your key in a project file or prompt. Market Pocket includes AAPL demo access. Other symbols can use an optional Twelve Data key stored in the device-only Keychain. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Projects, records, bookmarks, watchlists, ledgers, voice notes, accepted transcripts, and selected or captured results stay on your iPhone. Device access starts only after you tap, scanned URLs are not opened automatically, and there is no background audio, speech, location, or motion monitoring. Speech transcription requires an available on-device language model and never falls back to network recognition. Sharing leaves MakeYour only after you choose a destination in Apple's share sheet. Before an in-app AI request, MakeYour shows the exact task and text that will be sent. An accepted transcript may become editable text, but its audio is never attached. Photos, records, other apps, and device data are not attached automatically. When generated versions include the visible Shortcuts access block, Apple's dynamic picker receives only opted-in tiny apps' stable IDs, display names, and validated icons. The fixed action requires local device authentication and opens MakeYour in the foreground. It receives no prompt, state, photos, voice notes, provider keys, or generated automation code. Removing the block or deleting a tiny app revokes that app's listing. SAFE NATIVE RUNTIME AI does not download or execute Swift, JavaScript, plug-ins, or arbitrary code. It creates a validated declarative app document. MakeYour renders that document using precompiled native SwiftUI components and a fixed capability allowlist. Network components use only fixed, precompiled providers: Frankfurter for latest daily FX reference rates, BBC/NPR for credited RSS feeds, Twelve Data for latest/delayed market data, and OpenAI for user-authorized AI. Market and currency values are not guaranteed real-time and are not financial advice. Camera capture, live scanning, pedometer data, and meaningful haptic feedback require supported physical iPhone hardware. Unsupported devices and Simulator show an honest unavailable state.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MakeYour at none against Eidetic's 3. Eidetic's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
