PPQ
Read full descriptionHide full description
PPQ gives you every leading AI model in one app — and you only pay for what you actually use. No subscription. No monthly fee. Just add credits and ask. ONE APP, EVERY TOP MODEL Switch between the latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and more, all in a single conversation. Pick the right model for the job — a quick answer, deep reasoning, or creative writing — and never juggle multiple apps or subscriptions again. PAY PER QUERY, NOT PER MONTH Most AI apps lock the best models behind a $20/month subscription whether you use them once or a thousand times. PPQ is different: top up a balance and pay only for the queries you make. Light user? Spend a few cents. Power user? You're still in control of every credit. ASK WITH YOUR VOICE Tap the mic and just talk. PPQ transcribes your voice and answers instantly — perfect for asking on the go, hands-free. ASK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU SEE Snap a photo or attach one from your library and ask about it. Translate a menu, solve a problem on the whiteboard, identify an object, or get feedback on your work. CREATE IMAGES AND VIDEO Generate images and video right inside your conversation. Describe what you want and watch it come to life. PRIVATE, ENCRYPTED CHATS For sensitive questions, choose an encrypted model. Your messages are sealed to a secure enclave so the server can't read them — end-to-end privacy verified in hardware, on your device. YOUR HISTORY, SEARCHABLE Every conversation is saved and fully searchable — find any past chat by title or by what was actually said inside it. SIGN IN WITH A PASSKEY No passwords to remember. Sign in securely with Face ID or Touch ID using a passkey. WHY PPQ • All the top AI models in one place • Pay only for what you use — no subscription • Voice, photo, and text input • Image and video generation • Private, hardware-encrypted chats • Searchable conversation history • Secure passkey login Download PPQ and get pay-per-query access to the world's best AI — on your terms.

Do the thing, then scroll. Habits First is the most effective way to reduce your screen time - distracting apps stay blocked until your habits are done for the day. No accounts required and no subscriptions, forever. Willpower shouldn’t cost a monthly fee. HABITS SUPPORTED - Walk 10,000 steps, or any number you like - Work out 45 minutes - integrates with Apple Watch, WHOOP, Garmin, Oura, or any tracker - Meditate 10 minutes, from Calm, Headspace, Insight Timer, or any meditation app - Use an app you pick: read or use Duolingo for 20 minutes - Built in Pomodoro timer or manual habit check off - Review your Anki flashcards (Habits Pro) - Listen or read books on Audiobookshelf (Habits Pro) - Finish a game on Chess.com (Habits Pro) - Apple Shortcuts automations (Habits Pro) - More coming A block can ask for one habit, all of them, or any two of three. HOW IT WORKS Habits are automatically tracked via integrations such as with Apple Health. Apps you select are blocked until you finish your habits. When you're done, open the app to activate your unlock. WHY IT WORKS The idea is based off the Premack Principle - things you do often can help reinforce things that you do rarely. By habit stacking a difficult habit before an app you often use, you also hijack the addictive nature of distracting apps and turn that motivation towards your daily habits. WHEN IT APPLIES All day until your habits are done, on a schedule, only in certain places, or near a device you pick. Habits First helps you wake up into a calm phone screen, only unlocked after you finish your most important habits of the day. PRICING This app will never have a subscription fee. The core app is free forever: Apple Health goals, app timers, schedules, places, commitment locks, widgets, and as many blocks as you like. One small one-time purchase adds the extra integrations. More will be added in the future (feel free to request them SYNCING You can make an account if you would like to sync your habits and blocks across devices. This is not required.
