LeadFlip is a daily leadership practice built on your Enneagram type. ONE CARD A DAY, CHOSEN FOR YOU Every morning there's one card β a reframe, a truth about your type, a scenario you'll recognize, a quote worth sitting with β with one small thing to try before the day is over. It isn't next in a list. It's chosen from what you named yesterday, which cards you follow through on, and how the day went. Every card tells you why it was picked. TWO MINUTES IN THE MORNING, ONE AT NIGHT Name where today might trip you up. In the evening, close the day by noticing whether it did. That's the whole ritual, and the rest of the app exists to make those minutes count. PREP ME Walking into a 1:1, hard feedback, a no you've been avoiding? Pick the situation and get three lines written for your type: what you'll be tempted to do, one move, and a sentence you could actually say. Add the person you're facing and get the same for the two of you. A Live Activity keeps the line on your Lock Screen, then asks how it went. THE WITNESS On Friday evening, if you choose, the Witness writes you a short letter about the week β quoting what you named, noticing what you tried and what you skipped, ending with one question. It's written on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence where available. Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, writes it only if you allow it, on a screen that shows what would be sent. Off by default, and your journal is never part of it. Every letter written by Apple Intelligence or Claude has a Report link. YOUR TYPE The whole Enneagram, drawn: your point lit, your wings, your stress and growth arrows. How you lead, at your best, under stress. And for every other type β how to work with them, where you two grind, the bridge, a line to say. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. An Apple Watch app you can talk to β name your morning by voice, rate the day from your wrist β with the same card on your watch face. Siri and Shortcuts. iCloud sync in your private iCloud. The sky follows the real clock. ON IPHONE DUO With iOS 27.1, closed, the cover is today's card, with Tried it, Save and Share down the side. Open it like a book and the whole day sits on one spread: the deck on one page, the day's practice on the other. Before a conversation, stand it half-folded: your Prep me card above the fold, your notes below. These appear only on iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1. YOURS, ON YOUR PHONE No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. Your ratings, journal, namings, and people stay on your device and in your private iCloud, where we can't read them. LEADFLIP PRO The daily card, the practice, the tracker, widgets, and the watch are free. LeadFlip Pro, an in-app purchase, adds the Witness's AI-written letter, Prep me with your calendar and your people, and your patterns and history β $39.99 a year after a 7-day free trial, $5.99 a month, or $99.99 once.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProgressTimer at none against LeadFlip's 3. LeadFlip's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
