Prep the day

Read full description

Prep the Day is a morning ritual for getting your day in order. Every morning, open the app and type out everything you need to do today — fast, messy, stream of consciousness. Don't think about order or priority. Just get it out of your head. Then the on-device AI takes over. It reads your dump, pulls out the real tasks, drops the routine "noise," and hands back a clean, prioritized list for the day. One brain dump in, one focused task list out — every morning. ON-DEVICE & PRIVATE • All AI runs on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your text never leaves your iPhone or iPad. • No account, no sign-in, no servers, no tracking. • Works without an internet connection. WHY IT WORKS • A cluttered head makes for a scattered day. Writing it down clears it. • The AI does the sorting so you don't have to organize before you've even started. • Five minutes in the morning saves hours of "what was I supposed to do today?" FEATURES • Brain dump input — type everything on your mind • On-device AI task extraction, powered by Apple Intelligence • Noise filtering — trivial, routine items are dropped • Priority sorting — the list comes back ordered • Edit freely — add, rename, complete, and delete tasks • Session history — every morning's prep is saved on-device • English and Japanese Requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on. Prep the day. Then go live it.

Readplace is a read-it-later app. Save articles from anywhere and read them later in a clean, focused reader — without the clutter, popups, and noise of the open web. SAVE FROM ANY APP Open a web page in Safari (or any app), tap Share, and choose Readplace. The article is captured and added to your reading list — no copy-paste, no tab hoarding. A CALM READING LIST Everything you saved in one place. Tap an article to read it in a distraction-free reader, and get an AI summary so you can decide what is worth your time before you dive in. Swipe to mark things read as you go. ORGANIZE YOUR READING Switch between readlists and choose where articles saved from the share sheet go. Readplace remembers your last open list and keeps unread and finished articles in separate tabs. READ YOUR WAY Choose light, dark, or system appearance. Download an article as an EPUB and use the iOS share sheet to save it or open it in another reading app. BUILT ON A DECADE OF READING Readplace grew out of a personal reading system refined over ten years. It does one thing well: help you actually read the things you meant to read. Your #1 AI-Powered Reading List. A Readplace subscription is required after the free trial.
