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.

Turn separate scans into a navigable document packet. Choose saved PDFs, arrange sections and build a separate PDF with a cover, linked contents page and section bookmarks. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the library → Build document packet. Enter a packet title and add saved PDFs. 2. Edit section titles and use Edit to reorder or remove sections. 3. Build the packet and review the total page count and PDF preview. 4. Export the packet PDF or share an assembly receipt with input and output hashes. The source scans remain unchanged. 5. Changing the title or sections clears the frozen result. Build again to refresh it. Use the existing camera, import, OCR and local PDF-library tools to prepare source documents, then assemble a packet for handoff without altering those originals. WHAT TO KNOW Up to 16 documents, 200 source pages, 50 MB per input and 100 MB combined. Encrypted or copying-restricted PDFs are rejected. Existing text and page orientation are preserved, but image-only pages do not gain OCR from packet assembly. Newly generated contents links and section bookmarks target the packet; verify pre-existing source links separately. The packet is exported as a separate file and is not automatically added to the scan library. Built for iPhone and iPad. No account required for this workflow.
