Meet the agents you can text. Agent Store is a directory of AI agents that live right inside your Messages app. Browse them like an app store, tap a button, and a new chat opens. That is the whole thing. No account, no download, no setup. How it works: 1. Browse the featured agent, category sections, and search. 2. Tap the blue Text button on any agent you like. 3. A new Messages chat opens with that agent. Say hi and go. A few of the agents you can text today: Travel Soar is your AI travel companion. Karpo is a travel concierge in your pocket. Assistants Caddy handles your work by text. Orchid runs your day. Allora sends the reminders you actually need. Dating and Social 222 helps you meet people in real life. Series makes warm introductions. Alfi keeps the group chat moving. Health and Careers Nudge is daily fitness coaching over text. Clera is an AI talent agent working for you. More agents, including Tomo and Sidekicks, plus everything new, live at textagent.store. Private by design: Agent Store collects no data. None. The directory is bundled inside the app and rendered on your device, so it works offline and needs no account. No sign in, no analytics, no tracking, nothing phoned home. The agents you text are independent services, and every conversation happens in Messages, just like texting a friend. Open the Messages app drawer, find your next agent, and text it. See the full lineup at iMessage.store.

About

NoirShield

Features
Read full description

NoirShield is a network tool that runs entirely on your device. It encrypts your DNS lookups and can match them against blocklists stored on the device. Your traffic is never routed through a server of ours: there is nothing to relay it through, and your IP address does not change. ENCRYPTED DNS Resolve names over DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS. Choose from built-in encrypted resolvers or enter your own custom endpoint. Measure them on the network you are on and switch to the fastest. ON-DEVICE FILTERING Optional lists for ads and trackers, malware, phishing and crypto mining — 470,943 domains, matched on the device. Every list is off until you turn it on. You can import your own list and add your own allow and block rules, which take priority. DIAGNOSTICS Fourteen checks: reachability, IPv4 and IPv6, captive portals, latency, DNS resolution, DNS interception, DoH, DoT, HTTPS, TLS, QUIC, WebSocket and UDP. AUTOFIX Measures the network, applies a compatibility profile, verifies the result and remembers what worked for that network. NO ACCOUNT No sign-up, no sign-in, no subscription. Nothing about your lookups is uploaded. The activity log stays in memory and is gone when the app closes, unless you switch on "Keep activity after restart" in Settings. The app reaches our server for two things only: signed blocklist updates, and the connection tests while you are running diagnostics. NoirShield is not a country-switching VPN. It has no relay or proxy server, does not change your IP address and never decrypts HTTPS. On iPhone and iPad, iOS shows its own VPN badge whenever an on-device tunnel is running; NoirShield uses that tunnel only to hand DNS queries to the resolver on your device.
