Answers you can stand behind. Sivra is a verified answer engine. Ask a question and Sivra investigates it across sources, tests every claim against the evidence it fetched, and delivers one clear answer you can trace. Anything Sivra can't trace to a source doesn't make it in. THE ANSWER Every inquiry ends in a single, direct answer with a stated confidence level — and three lenses beneath it: - Evidence — the claims that support the answer, each linked to its source - Caution — what could change the answer, and what to watch for - Action — what to do next, ordered by effort CHOOSE YOUR DEPTH - Glance — one pass, about two minutes - Survey — two passes, deeper evidence - Expedition — three passes, exhaustive YOUR CONSTELLATION Everything Sivra has verified for you, connected. Each completed inquiry adds findings to your Constellation. Browse it as a living map, or ask questions across everything you've already verified. SHOW THE WORK - Every finding lists its sources; tap through and read them yourself - Findings carry evidence, relevance, and confidence scores — the weighting formula is printed in the app - A full written report accompanies every inquiry HONEST BY DESIGN Sivra's answers are AI-generated and can be wrong. The app says so, every claim is traceable, and nothing is presented with more confidence than the evidence supports. Credits are one-time purchases — no subscription. A Glance costs one credit; deeper inquiries cost more.

JotBox is a fast, local-first scratchpad for the notes that don't need a whole filing cabinet. Open the app and start writing. JotBox keeps a blank page ready, stores notes in a simple timeline, and adds just enough structure when you need it. Use JotBox to: - capture quick notes, measurements, reminders, drafts, and lists - format text with bold, italic, underline, colors, highlights, links, bullets, numbered lists, checkboxes, and indentation - add images from your photo library or pasteboard, with camera capture on iPhone and iPad - save text and links from the Share Sheet where supported - pin, reorder, and find notes with full-text search, snippets, filters, and highlights - lock individual notes locally with a JotBox privacy password and optional biometric unlock where available - mark reference notes read-only so they stay viewable without accidental edits - recover deleted notes from the Recycle Bin - export notes as text, Markdown, PDF, or a restorable backup file - optionally sync through your private iCloud account - optionally create iCloud Drive backup snapshots No account is required. Notes stay on your device unless you turn on Apple's private iCloud sync or iCloud Drive backup. JotBox includes a 7-day app-managed trial. After the trial, JotBox Pro is a one-time $3.99 unlock for editing, creating and managing notes, and rich attachments. Existing notes remain viewable, copyable, shareable, and exportable.
