Felicity vs Orvena

Felicity is an AI companion you talk to out loud. A face that holds eye contact, shows you it's listening, and stops mid-sentence the moment you start speaking. Lip-synced, present, looking back at you. And all of it runs on your iPhone. THERE IS NO FELICITY SERVER Your voice is transcribed on your iPhone, answered by a model running on your iPhone, and spoken back by your iPhone. Put it in Airplane Mode and it still works. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising. Nothing to leak, because nothing is collected. IT REMEMBERS YOU The things you mention in passing — your sister's name, the job you're nervous about, that you don't drink coffee after four — come back naturally later. And you can read every single thing that has been remembered, in plain sentences, with where it came from. Correct it, pin it, or make it forget. Including forgetting an entire conversation. JUST TALK No wake word. No push-to-talk. No waiting your turn. Interrupt and it stops, because that is how conversation works. And when you're somewhere you can't speak, type instead — same companion, same memory. THE VOICE CAN BE YOURS Felicity speaks with any voice your iPhone has, including the enhanced ones, or with a natural neural voice that runs on the phone itself. If you've recorded a Personal Voice in iOS Accessibility settings, it can speak in that — and answer you in your own voice. Like everything else here, it stays on the phone. IT ASKS BEFORE IT ACTS Calendar events, reminders, an email or message draft, a shortcut. You're shown exactly what is about to happen, and nothing happens until you say yes. Every time, without exception. YOUR CHOICE OF MIND Use Apple's built-in on-device intelligence, or Felicity's own model — free, 248 MB, and yours whether you pay or not. Felicity Plus adds seven more models to choose from, and lets you point at a model server on your own computer. Your conversation never touches a company's servers — not ours, not anyone's. MAKE IT YOURS Choose the face, the voice, and the room behind it — a woman's face or a man's, or bring your own avatar: any GLB file works, including Ready Player Me exports. Write in your own words who your companion is and how it should talk to you. Adjust how it stands, down to the angle of the arms. FREE IS A REAL COMPANION A working companion with no purchase: a model of its own, unlimited text chat, ten spoken turns a day, and three days of memory. Felicity Plus is one purchase, once, forever — no subscription. It adds unlimited voice, your full memory, seven more models, your own model server, every avatar and voice, concierge actions and the personality editor. Requires iOS 26. Apple's built-in intelligence needs iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or iPhone 16 or later. On every other device Felicity uses its own free model instead, and works exactly the same. English is included. Hindi and eight more languages come with the Felicity Pro — Multi Languages add-on to Felicity Plus. Felicity is not a therapist, a doctor or an advisor, and it can be wrong. It is company.

Orvena is a complete assistant that runs on your iPhone. Its models run on the device itself, so conversations stay on your phone unless you choose a cloud model. There is no account, no Orvena server, and no analytics. ASK, AND IT GETS DONE Orvena works with the phone you already have: calendar, reminders, alarms and timers, maps and travel times, photos, Apple Health summaries, music, and files. Every action leaves a receipt you can read, and anything consequential asks for your approval before it runs. APPLE INTELLIGENCE, BUILT IN On iOS 27, Orvena can answer with Apple's on-device model, with nothing to download. It uses the same tools, receipts and approvals as Orvena's own model. You can also ask Orvena from Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight and the Action button, and get the answer right where you asked. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Privacy pages usually ask for trust. Orvena's is a list: everything the app can ever send is enumerated in a short ledger in the privacy policy. On-device features work without any data leaving the phone, and anything that could ever leave asks first through a named consent step. ONE PURCHASE UNLOCKS THE REST The on-device assistant, every phone tool, web search and reading, and image understanding are free, without limits or a trial clock. A single one-time purchase adds: • Voice conversations, with a natural voice generated on the device • Connections to services you use, like Notion, Linear, GitHub, Home Assistant, and any MCP server, with sign-in built in • Apple's Private Cloud Compute on iOS 27, a larger model on Apple's servers that doesn't keep your data, within a daily limit Apple sets • Cloud models with your own API key, when you want a bigger model • Scheduled tasks, so Orvena can check on things at the right time and report back There is no subscription. REQUIREMENTS Orvena's own model runs on the phone itself, which needs recent hardware: iPhone 15 Pro or newer with 8 GB of memory, on iOS 26. The model, about 3.5 GB, downloads once. On iOS 27, iPhones with Apple Intelligence turned on can start with Apple's model instead, without the download.
