Speakfirst vs ThinqBits

Speakfirst helps you build a daily speaking habit — and improve how you sound, fast. Most people never practice out loud. They think about speaking better, watch a TED talk, maybe rehearse once before a big moment — then go back to scrolling. Speakfirst is built for consistency: short daily reps, instant feedback, and a reason to show up every day. Block the apps that drain your time. Practice first. Earn your scroll back minute by minute. WHAT'S INSIDE • Daily speaking training. 6+ guided exercises — Free Talk, tongue twisters, talk-to-camera reps, pacing drills, and more — designed to sharpen clarity, confidence, and delivery. • Instant AI feedback. After every rep, get scored on pace, filler words, clarity, structure, and confidence — so you know exactly what to fix. • Build consistency. A coach-style program that keeps you coming back. Small reps compound into a noticeably stronger voice. • Block distracting apps. Pick what stays off your phone — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, X — using Apple's Screen Time framework. Your block list stays on your device. • Earn screen time back by doing things that compound: – Sharpening your speaking (daily voice exercises + AI scoring) – Workouts with camera rep counting – Language learning programs – Psychology books with flashcards – Real-world side quests • Side Quests. Real-world challenges that push you out of your comfort zone — and reward you with minutes when you follow through. WHY SPEAKFIRST WORKS Speaking is a skill. Skills improve with reps — not willpower lectures. Speakfirst aligns practice with reward: the cost of unlocking your dopamine apps is a small deposit into the version of yourself you've been postponing. You don't fight your phone. You charge it. THE SCIENCE Speakfirst draws on real research — Stanford psychiatrist Dr. Anna Lembke on dopamine, FBI counterintelligence analyst Joe Navarro on behavior, Cialdini on influence, BJ Fogg on tiny habits, and Toastmasters' long-running speaking framework. Sources are listed in-app under Profile → The Science. HEALTH AND WELLNESS DISCLAIMER Speakfirst is a habit and lifestyle app, not a medical device or healthcare provider. Workouts, breathing prompts, speaking drills, side quests, and book summaries are for general fitness, motivation, and self-improvement only. Speakfirst does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Consult a qualified physician or licensed healthcare professional before starting any new exercise routine or making health-related decisions. Stop and seek medical attention if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other symptom while exercising. PRICING Speakfirst is free to try with a limited budget. The full experience — unlimited earning, all categories, all side quests, AI verification — is unlocked with a Speakfirst Pro subscription. Auto-renews until canceled in iOS Settings. Cancel anytime. PRIVACY Speakfirst works on-device. We don't sell your data. We don't track you across apps. Your name, photos, and reps stay on your phone — except when the camera sends a frame to our AI verifier, which we discard after sending back the verdict.

Most apps agree with you. This one argues. ThinqBits Council is a private thinking partner for the decisions you keep circling. Not an oracle that tells you what to do — a room that comes at your thinking hard enough that the objection lands while you can still use it. HOW IT WORKS You say what you'd do. Your own answer, in your own words, written down before anyone can talk you out of it. That's what the debate pushes on. Five to seven thinqers argue with it. Each one comes at your question from a different angle. You watch where they clash on a live collision map — who is in tension, who converges, who builds on whom — not in a wall of transcript. You leave with the blind spots your own framing left out, and one short reusable principle worth keeping. Kept principles come back to argue in later councils. Then we check back. Once you know how the decision actually played out, you mark which objections turned out to count. That record is what makes you sharper — not the app. WHAT YOU GET • A live collision map of where your thinqers disagree, built as they argue • The blind spots your framing left out, and the questions still worth answering • A decision journal: every council kept, with what you decided and what happened • Calibration: we return once the outcome is known, and read back which objections mattered • Thinqer packs you can build, reuse, and share for the decisions you keep facing • A fit check that tells you honestly when this isn't the right tool for your question PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION Every deliberation runs on your device using Apple Intelligence. There is no account, no backend, and no analytics. Your questions and your decisions never leave your phone — that isn't a setting you turn on, it's the only way the app is built. REQUIREMENTS Requires an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings. Without it you can still explore a full sample council to see how the room works. SUBSCRIPTION Your first council is free. After that, ThinqBits is $4.99/month or $34.99/year, and new subscribers start with a 14-day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; you can cancel any time in Settings. Reading your saved councils, your journal, and your calibration is never gated. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://thinqbits.com/privacy ThinqBits is a reasoning partner, not a source of facts or professional advice. It reasons offline with no internet access, so verify anything factual. It is never a substitute for medical, legal, or financial counsel, or for a professional's judgment.
