Aether vs Litiva

Aether turns your iPhone into a remote control for your Mac. Speak or type a command on your phone, and your Mac responds — open apps, switch focus, run workflows, and more. No cloud account, no relay servers. Aether talks to a small companion app on your Mac directly over your local Wi-Fi network. — HOW IT WORKS — 1. Install the free Aether companion on your Mac. 2. Scan the QR code shown by the Mac menu bar app. 3. Start sending commands by voice or text. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — • Open, focus, and quit Mac apps from your iPhone • Run multi-step workflows with a single natural-language request • Use voice mode for hands-free control • Watch live progress as your Mac executes each step • Switch between paired Macs from the sidebar — DESIGNED FOR SPEED — • Pairing takes seconds with a single QR scan • Commands execute on your local network — fast and private • Modern SwiftUI interface, optimized for one-handed use • Haptic feedback and live status indicators — PRIVACY FIRST — • No accounts, no sign-up • No cloud relay — your commands go straight from iPhone to your Mac • Voice transcription happens on-device using Apple's Speech framework • Aether does not collect, track, or share any personal data — REQUIREMENTS — • A Mac running the free Aether companion app • iPhone and Mac on the same Wi-Fi network • iOS 17 or later Aether is open source. Built for people who want their Mac to listen — without sending anything to the cloud.

Litiva — a quiet daily panel for habits, reminders, journal, and focus. Litiva helps you keep the small routines that make a day feel steadier: wake up, drink water, move, take medicine, write a few lines, or build your own custom habit. 【Today Panel】 Open Litiva and see what matters today. Check off habits quickly, switch between compact and detailed views, and keep the day clear without a crowded task manager. 【Flexible Habits & Reminders】 Create simple habits for morning, work, health, evening routines, or anything personal. • Custom names, notes, categories, icons, and colors • Daily, weekday, weekend, or custom repeat days • Optional reminder time and early alert • Pause and resume habits when your schedule changes 【Short Focus Sessions】 Some habits need a little attention, not a full productivity system. Start a short focus session from a habit, breathe, stay present, then mark it complete. 【Built into iOS】 • Complete habits from interactive Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Add quick actions to Control Center • Follow focus timers through Live Activities and Dynamic Island • Complete or snooze reminders without opening the app • Find habits in Spotlight or run them with Siri and Shortcuts 【Timeline Journal】 Record small reflections in a calm timeline. Add mood and tags, use Apple's Journal Suggestions, and—on supported devices—organize your own draft privately with on-device Apple Intelligence. 【Insights & Yearly Tree】 Track today's progress, completion rate, consistency, and journal count. Your check-ins grow a yearly tree so daily progress feels visible without pressure. 【Private by Design】 Litiva has no ads, no accounts, no tracking, and no subscriptions. Your data stays on your device and can sync through your own iCloud across iPhone and iPad. Apple Health integration is optional. When enabled, Litiva writes only completed hydration and mindful sessions; it does not upload your health data. 【Made for Daily Use】 • Clean light and dark appearance • iPhone and iPad layouts • Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, widgets, and Control Center support • All 50 App Store languages and locales • Built-in starter habits you can edit or delete Litiva is for people who want a softer way to remember, complete, and reflect on the small things that keep life on track.
