Candor vs Boreal Markdown Editor

Candor is a AI Note Eighteen AI lenses surface the patterns you'd never see otherwise the themes you keep returning to, the loops you don't notice, the questions you're quietly carrying. Every entry is encrypted with your master password before it leaves the writing surface. No analytics. No cloud-scraping. No support backdoor. Honest writing, in your hands. THE AI HUB Reflect runs your scoped notes through one of these lenses: • Themes — what you keep returning to, ranked by frequency • Recent mind — the 2–3 threads pulling at you this week • Loop — unconscious cycles running through your writing • Salience — what you say you care about vs. what your attention keeps landing on • Contradictions — beliefs you hold that don't fit together • Open questions — the ones you keep asking yourself • What's missing — topics you'd expect to write about but don't • The Outside View — what a stranger reading your journal would assume • Steel Man — the most generous reading of a flaw you keep naming • The Crucible — calibrated challenges at the edge of your capacity • Trajectory — where the next 6–12 months go if nothing changes • Spark for writing — open scenes to write into • Plus: Story, Timeline, Period summary, Growth, Preferences, Key choices Chat with your notes for open-ended dialogue. Map clusters your entries by theme. TWO AIs TO CHOOSE FROM • Apple Intelligence — on-device, fast, included with Backup & Export • Candor AI — cloud, frontier reasoning, included with Bundle Switch any time in Settings. The same notes feed either one. PRIVACY YOU CAN AUDIT Your master password derives a 256-bit key locally with Argon2id. Every entry is sealed with XChaCha20-Poly1305 before it leaves the writing surface. Search runs in memory and forgets. Nothing leaves your phone unless you turn on iCloud sync — and even then, Apple sees ciphertext only. There is no support backdoor. Lose your password and your recovery key, and the data is gone. That's the point. FREE CANDOR INCLUDES • Writing with auto-save • Voice dictation (on-device — Apple Speech and Omnilingual for 100+ languages) • End-to-end encryption • Full-text and semantic search • Categories, widgets, daily reminders • Local-only — no account required SUBSCRIPTIONS • Backup & Export — $2.99/month or $24.99/year Apple Intelligence on-device + Gemini cloud (bring your own API key) + iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac + .ilbk / ZIP / Obsidian export and import. • Bundle — $5.99/month or $49.99/year Everything in Backup, plus Candor AI — our most capable model, server-managed, no API key needed. 7-day free trial on the Bundle.

Boreal Markdown is a focused iOS document tool for people who already keep notes, drafts, specs, and reports in plain Markdown files. Open a .md or .markdown file from Files, read the rendered preview, edit the source, then save intentionally or export a clean PDF. Boreal Markdown is built around the small document loop, not a new notes database or cloud workspace. Included for everyone: - Open Markdown and plain text files through iOS file access - Read a rendered Markdown preview with clear document typography - Switch between preview and source editing - Apply headings, bold, italic, links, lists, and code to the cursor or selected text - See saved and unsaved states near the document title - Choose Save, Discard, or Cancel before leaving a document with unsaved edits - Save changes back to the opened file when iOS file access allows it - Export the rendered document as a PDF with paper, theme, text size, and title options - Share the PDF or save it back to Files - Persist appearance, accent, editor text, and PDF defaults between launches Boreal Pro is an optional one-time purchase. It unlocks: - Document outline navigation - Find and replace - Markdown cleanup - Split editing and preview on supported layouts - Advanced PDF themes, margins, table of contents, page numbers, headers, footers, and reusable presets Boreal Markdown is local-first. There is no account, subscription, hosted sync service, AI processing, backend document storage, or collaboration system. Use Boreal Markdown when you want a quiet iPhone and iPad workbench for opening, editing, saving, and sharing Markdown files as PDFs.
