HeyCC vs Metis

Meet PhoneBot. Get things done on iPhone. Turn ideas, files, and voice notes into useful results. Create documents, organize information, and work through everyday tasks with a bot you make your own. HeyCC brings practical AI tools into the conversation, so your phone becomes a place to get work done, not just ask questions. FROM A REQUEST TO A USEFUL RESULT Ask PhoneBot to turn meeting notes into an action plan, organize project material into a brief, or create a checklist you can open and use. Work with files and web information using available tools. With your permission, supported calendar and reminder tools help connect your plans to everyday tasks. YOUR BOT. YOUR STYLE. Give your bot a name, choose its appearance, and shape its role through conversation or settings. Create a writing partner, a planning assistant, or a bot for another kind of work. A personal bot should feel like yours and have a clear purpose. MORE PERSPECTIVES. ONE CONVERSATION. Bring different roles together in GroupBot. Explore ideas, compare suggestions, and ask a bot to check what you might have missed. Mention a bot when you want its perspective. When a task needs tools, continue in that bot's individual conversation. TURN VOICE NOTES INTO NEXT STEPS Capture a thought with voice input or notes, then bring it into a conversation to organize the key points and what to do next. Keep working with your material while the idea is still fresh. MORE ROOM ON IPAD. A BOT ON YOUR WRIST. Use HeyCC's roomier iPad layout to work with conversations and content. On a compatible Apple Watch, access the assistant interface and watch-face entry. Start with one task. Make PhoneBot your own. AI features require a configured, supported model service. Capabilities and fees vary by service and configuration. Relevant messages and attachments are sent to your configured AI endpoint. Device-side tools do not mean all AI runs offline. System features require permission; Apple Watch features require compatible hardware.

Metis is a native Markdown editor and local-first knowledge base. Your notes are just .md files in a folder you own - Metis is a fast, beautiful, native view over them. No lock-in, no proprietary format, no account required to write. WRITE IN LIVE PREVIEW A clean Obsidian-style editor styles your Markdown as you type - headings, bold, lists, quotes and code - while keeping the raw syntax one tap away. It feels like writing in a document, not in code. On iPad it's a full three-pane workspace with hardware-keyboard shortcuts. CONNECT YOUR IDEAS Link any two notes with [[wiki links]]. Backlinks appear automatically, so you always see what references the note you're reading. An interactive link graph shows your whole knowledge base at a glance - zoom, pan, and drag nodes to explore the connections. READ BEAUTIFULLY Reading mode renders the full document: headings, tables, task lists, images, syntax-highlighted code, Mermaid diagrams, and real math (LaTeX) rendered natively - no web view. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Tag anything with #tags, group notes into folders, and see typed properties (status, owner, due...) that live as YAML front matter and are preserved as you edit. A fast switcher and full-text search get you anywhere instantly. ON-DEVICE AI (Apple Intelligence) Summarize a note, suggest tags or related links, and ask your whole vault a question - all running privately on your device. AI is optional; the app is fully functional without it. SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Keep your vault in iCloud and the same notes are on your Mac, iPad and iPhone - still as plain .md files you can open anywhere. Edits sync in the background, and Metis helps you resolve conflicts if two devices change the same note. LOCK WHAT MATTERS Any note can be locked with your notes password and opened with Face ID or Touch ID. Locked notes are encrypted on disk and stay encrypted in iCloud - and they're kept out of search and previews. PRIVATE AND YOURS Everything stays in plain files on your device. No tracking, no cloud lock-in. Open the same folder in any other Markdown editor whenever you like. Import an existing folder of notes (from Obsidian or anywhere) and Metis just works. ONE PURCHASE, ALL YOUR DEVICES A single one-time purchase unlocks Metis Pro on your Mac, iPad and iPhone - no subscription. Try everything free for 7 days. Metis is made by Empiric Apps.
