Mr Broccoli vs smalltype

Mr Broccoli is a voice-first AI app for people who already have their own provider accounts. Add your keys, choose exactly which model answers, and listen to the reply. Nothing routes through a server of ours, because there isn't one. BEFORE YOU BUY Mr Broccoli is built around your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, Mistral, DeepSeek, OpenRouter or Alibaba Qwen. Your purchase gives you the app. It does not include AI usage — your provider bills you directly for what you use. TALK, DON'T TYPE • Speak, type or attach an image • Answers are read aloud, starting as soon as the first paragraph is ready • Skip by paragraph, pause, resume or restart playback • Drive Session for hands-free turns: it waits until you finish, counts down, sends, speaks the answer and listens again • Speech recognition using the system, an on-device model or your provider CHOOSE WHO ANSWERS • Save up to four routes — provider, exact model and reasoning effort • Switch between them mid-conversation without losing context • The home screen says who answers next and at what effort • Every answer records the route that actually produced it, including any fallback TUNE EACH CONVERSATION • Length: brief, normal or thorough • Tone: professional, casual, nerdy, concise, Socratic or ELI5 • Your own model and speech-delivery instructions • A specific voice per conversation Set defaults globally, override them per conversation. YOUR CONVERSATIONS • Kept in a local database on your device • Search, pin, archive, rename, share or delete • Fold and expand entries in one continuous transcript • Branch from any message to try another direction without losing the original • Lock individual conversations behind a password or biometrics MORE WHEN YOU WANT IT • Web search grounding, with sources attached to the answer • Council: several models answer, review each other, then one synthesises • Image prompts to compatible models • Optional recall from your past conversations, entirely on the device PRIVACY • No Mr Broccoli account and no Mr Broccoli server • Requests go straight from your device to the provider you chose • API keys stay in the operating system's secure storage — never in backups, logs or exports • A hosted provider still receives the request you send it YOURS TO KEEP • Full backups as readable JSON or passphrase-encrypted AES-256-GCM • Markdown archives to read anywhere or hand to another AI • Importing never overwrites what is already there 19 languages, including Arabic and Urdu right-to-left. Interface, dictation and answer language are set independently. Screen reader, large text, contrast and reduced-motion support throughout. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No cloud account, no cross-device sync, no hosted inference, no included credits, no silent switching of your chosen model or voice, and no autonomous actions on your behalf. AI output is not medical, legal or financial advice. No subscription. Because there is no account system, a purchase on one store does not unlock the app on the other.

Short notes, many times a day, saved as plain .md files in real folders. Open the same folder on your Mac in VS Code, Vim, or any editor. Calm, minimal, and ready for iPhone Duo. smalltype is for your notes. The small ones, the quick ones, the big ones, the unpolished ones. It's a fast, quiet place to type. ## Start No tutorial, no setup screen. Tap New Note and start typing. Leave one empty and it quietly disappears, so you never end up with a pile of blank untitled notes. That's the whole app. ## Yours Every note is a real .md file, sitting right there in the Files app. You can open it, copy it, or back it up yourself, anytime. Delete one and it still goes to Recently Deleted, same as any other file: nothing's gone for good. ## Sync or Don't Keep notes in iCloud Drive to have them on every device. Or keep them On My iPhone, fully local, never leaving your device. Either way, you can switch anytime. ## Visible Markdown Markdown markers stay gently visible as you type. What you see is exactly what's in the file. A bar above the keyboard types the markers for you, with undo and redo a tap away. ## Organize Folders, search, and quick note-making, all from one screen. Nothing to set up first. Put "daily" in a folder's name and new notes inside it get today's date as their name. ## No Catch No ads. No subscription. No tracking. No account, ever. Markdown notes. Yours to keep.
