Mr Broccoli vs Cohestry

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.

Cohestry is a second brain for people who want their notes to become more useful over time. Capture ideas, thoughts, references, and unfinished threads in one place, then let Cohestry help you see how they connect. Instead of leaving notes buried in folders, Cohestry turns your knowledge into something you can explore, revisit, and build on. EXPLORE YOUR THINKING Cohestry visualizes connections between your notes as an interactive 3D brain, making it easier to spot related ideas and understand how your thinking is developing. REDISCOVER WHAT MATTERS Worth Revisiting brings older notes back into view so useful ideas do not disappear into an archive. Today’s Insight surfaces a connection from your existing notes, giving you a reason to return to ideas you may have forgotten. WRITE WITHOUT FRICTION Create and edit rich notes with support for formatting, lists, tables, images, and more. Cohestry is designed to work as a complete notes app, not just a layer on top of one. BRING YOUR APPLE NOTES WITH YOU On Mac, import your existing Apple Notes and start building from the knowledge you already have. BUILT FOR APPLE Cohestry is a native iPhone and Mac app designed around a simple idea: your notes should become more valuable the longer you keep them. Core note-taking features are free, including unlimited notes and Apple Notes imports. Advanced connection features are available with Cohestry Pro.
