Marked vs SID3KICK

Marked is a Markdown reader and editor designed first as a reading app — think Apple Books for your .md files. Open any Markdown document from Files or iCloud Drive and read it with the calm of a book: classic typography, generous margins, justified text with automatic hyphenation, and Light, Sepia and Dark themes. A READING-FIRST EXPERIENCE • Three reading themes: Light, Sepia and Dark. • Nine curated typefaces: system serif, New York, Georgia, Palatino, Times New Roman, Helvetica Neue, Avenir Next, Iowan Old Style and Charter. • Adjustable font size, line spacing and horizontal margins. • Justified text with automatic hyphenation for a book-like rhythm. • Native rendering of headings, lists, quotes, code blocks, links and tables. • Styled blockquotes with accent bar, soft background tint and a decorative quote glyph. • Wrap-first tables that fit cell text to the screen and only scroll horizontally when wrapping is not enough. SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING • Fenced code blocks are highlighted with automatic language detection (highlight.js via HighlighterSwift). • The editor colours Markdown markup live — headings, emphasis, code spans, links and lists — without getting in the way of plain-text editing. QUICK EDITING • Built-in plain-text editor with in-place save to the original file. • New documents open straight into the editor. • Jump to any line directly from the table of contents or search results. • Debounced highlighting keeps large files responsive while typing. NAVIGATION • Auto-generated table of contents from the document's headings. • In-document search: per section in reader mode and per line in editor mode. • Recent files list with per-document reading position and progress, Apple Notes–style file count under the title. FAST AND SMOOTH • Documents open asynchronously so the UI never blocks on large files. • Theme and font changes reuse the parsed document and existing section views instead of rebuilding from scratch. • Smart subview reuse keeps scrolling fluid in long documents. WORKS WITH YOUR FILES • Opens .md, .markdown, .mdown and .mkd files from Files, iCloud Drive and "Open with…". • Create new Markdown documents from inside the app. • Security-scoped bookmarks remember where each file lives, so recents keep working after relaunch. PRIVACY BY DESIGN • Everything runs on your device. Marked has no servers. • No accounts, no telemetry, no advertising, no tracking. • Your files stay exactly where you keep them — the app only opens them. Ideal for reading notes, technical documentation, project READMEs, long-form articles or books written in Markdown — and for making quick edits without leaving the reading flow.

SID3KICK records what you say out loud, transcribes it, and turns it into notes you can search and question later. Speech recognition runs on the device. Recordings, transcripts and summaries are stored on the device. There is no account, no sign-in, and no server of ours involved. HOW IT WORKS Tap the mic on Home and talk. SID3KICK captures the audio, transcribes it, writes a summary, pulls out the action items it heard, and flags dates and appointments so you can add them to your calendar in one tap. SIX TABS Home: a record button that pulses with the level of your voice, an elapsed-time readout, and your latest captures. Ask: put a question to everything you have recorded. Ask what you said about the lease last week and it answers across every stored transcript and summary, using the date, time and place each capture was tagged with. To-dos: action items pulled from what was actually said, split into open and done, plus anything you add by hand. Tap one to jump back to the recording it came from. Days: a written digest of a day with that day's action items appended as a checklist, generated when you ask for it. Recordings: every capture with status, duration and playback. Open one for the transcript, the summary, the events it found, the place it was recorded, and the original audio. Settings: all of the above, spelled out in plain language. TRANSCRIPTION, YOUR CHOICE On device: Apple's speech recognizer with on-device recognition forced on. No key, no account, no network, and the audio never leaves the phone. Cloud: OpenAI speech-to-text with your own API key, when you want that accuracy instead. AI: YOUR PROVIDER, YOUR KEY Summaries, action items, event extraction, daily digests and the Ask tab run through whichever provider you set in Settings: OpenAI, Anthropic, an Ollama or LM Studio instance on your own network, or any endpoint that speaks the OpenAI chat-completions API. You paste your own key or base URL. Nothing is sent to any of them until you configure one, and pointing the app at a local model keeps every byte inside your network. AI usage is billed to you by the provider you choose. SID3KICK logs every call it makes: provider, model, input and output tokens, audio seconds and the computed cost, with all-time, today and this-month totals, a price table you can edit, and $0 against local engines. WHERE YOUR DATA GOES No accounts. No analytics. No crash reporting. No ads. No tracking SDKs. There is no SID3KICK server for your data to sit on. Apart from turning coordinates into a place name, which asks the system geocoder and only when location tagging is on, every network destination is one you typed into Settings yourself. Location tagging starts in its low-power mode, which keeps the place name while blurring coordinates to roughly a kilometre, and you can switch it off entirely. MAKE IT YOURS Dark and light, each with five accent colours, plus a retro sci-fi console theme that keeps its own signature palette. Rename the assistant and the new name is used throughout the app. The layout adapts from iPhone SE to iPad and holds together at 200% text size. HONEST LIMITS Summaries, digests and the Ask tab need an AI provider configured. Recording, playback and on-device transcription work with nothing configured at all. Recording laws differ by place. Some require every participant's consent, others only yours. You are responsible for recording lawfully wherever you are.
