Loupe vs bbbbb

Ever wondered how advertisers recognize you across apps and websites? It usually comes down to fingerprinting: small, ordinary details about your device, combined until the mix is rare enough to point back to you. Loupe lets you see those details yourself. It reads the same public iOS APIs that third-party apps use, showing you the raw data and explaining why it matters. WHAT YOU CAN EXPLORE Trackers don't need your name, email, or location to recognize you. Your region, languages, settings, storage, and sensors create a pattern distinctive enough to follow you online. Loupe puts these readings in one place so you can see exactly what you're sharing. THREE LEVELS OF ACCESS Loupe sorts every reading by how much access it takes: - Passive: readable by any app with no prompt at all, from your time zone and keyboard languages to your battery and storage. - Needs permission: readings that trigger an iOS prompt, like location, contacts, photos, and motion. - Advanced: side channels that public APIs allow, like checking which apps you have installed, graphics checks in a hidden browser, and a record that survives reinstalling the app. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR IPHONE Loupe reads everything on your device and keeps it there. Nothing is uploaded, synced, or shared unless you export it yourself. There are no accounts and no analytics. A FEW THINGS YOU CAN LOOK AT - The region, languages, and settings that hint at where you live and travel - Your screen, graphics, storage, and battery details - The name on a paired accessory, which often gives away your own name - Which popular apps you have installed, worked out without any permission - The exact second your device was set up or last erased Loupe is built by Mysk, a security research team. It exposes the tracking surface of your iPhone, so you can decide what to do about it.

Get notified on your iPhone when your AI coding agent finishes a task or needs your input. Updates that need a response stay in your private inbox until you resolve them. bbbbb (pronounced "B-five") also accepts updates from builds, tests, deployments, backups, scripts, and services that can send a web request. You can leave a task running and check the result when you're ready. Questions, failures, and requests for approval go to Attention. Routine updates go to Activity. You can also send yourself a reminder to deal with later. Respond to questions and approve work in the original tool. To connect your AI coding agent, tell it: "Set up bbbbb at bbbbb.app/setup." Approve the connection on your iPhone with a temporary QR code or six-digit code. The agent saves a private HTTP Source for sending updates. For apps, webhooks, and automations, create an HTTP Source directly in bbbbb. The optional CLI for macOS and Linux can wrap a command and report the result: success goes to Activity, failure to Attention. Each update shows where it came from. Search and filter by text, status, Source, or date, and rename, pause, or remove a Source whenever you need to. If you miss a notification, open bbbbb to catch up on recent updates. Your inbox is private. Sources can send updates but cannot read it. Notifications hide job details, and recent updates are stored encrypted for catch-up. The CLI encrypts messages before sending; HTTP messages are encrypted before storage. Face ID or your device passcode protects the inbox. There are no accounts, ads, tracking, or remote-control features. Every core feature is free. Plus adds higher update limits, longer encrypted catch-up, and JSON and CSV export on your device. It's a one-time purchase. Requires iOS 18.4 or later. The interface is available in English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, and Brazilian Portuguese. Choose a language in Settings > App language. Source names and messages stay in their original language. Notification banners use generic English text; open the app to read the update.
