Core AI Widget vs MicButton

Core AI helps you discover more in the things around you. Take a photo or choose one from your library to explore objects, read labels, and find inspiration. EXPLORE YOUR PHOTOS Identify visible subjects and details with on-device Apple Intelligence. Choose a focus for plants, food, fashion, furniture, or product labels. Ask follow-up questions about your scan. READ AND CREATE Recognize text and barcodes, copy useful information, extract a color palette, crop your photo, or lift a subject from its background. COMPARE POSSIBILITIES Choose two photos to explore their visible differences, materials, and style. AI estimates of size and value are approximate, not measurements or appraisals. KEEP YOUR DISCOVERIES Completed analyses are saved in your local library. Favorite scans, organize collections, export selected content, or delete saved scans. Widgets provide quick access to your last scan and camera. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photo processing happens on your device. No account, advertising, or analytics. You control sharing and exports. Search actions open external services with your selected search terms. Device backups may include your saved library. REQUIREMENTS The app supports iOS and iPadOS 26 or later. AI photo analysis, comparison, chat, and translation require iOS or iPadOS 27 with Apple Intelligence available on a supported device. Text recognition, barcode scanning, and colors work without Apple Intelligence. Camera and AR require suitable hardware.

MicButton is your physical mute button for working by voice. It lets you mute or unmute your Mac’s system microphone from your Apple Watch or iPhone Action Button without leaving a ChatGPT Voice or Codex conversation. Whether you're stepping away for a quick side conversation during a video call or working alongside a voice assistant that shouldn't hear you talking to someone else, MicButton lets you mute in an instant — right from your wrist or phone. It’s a master mute switch. MicButton mutes your Mac’s system microphone itself rather than muting inside a single app — so when it’s off, nothing running on your Mac is listening: not a call, not a browser tab, not an assistant. Your mic is off because you turned it off, and you can confirm it from your wrist without walking back to your desk. FEATURES • One-tap mute/unmute from Apple Watch • iPhone Action Button and Lock Screen control support • Live mute status shown in the Dynamic Island • Mutes the Mac’s system microphone at the source, not inside a single app • Works entirely over your local network — no internet connection required, and no audio ever leaves your devices • Lightweight menu bar app that stays out of your way MicButton is built for anyone who works from a Mac and wants mute control without breaking their flow.
