Orvena vs Brainy

Orvena is a complete assistant that runs on your iPhone. Its models run locally, 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.

Brainy is the assistant that remembers, so you don't have to. Tap the orb and say it once. A wifi code, a birthday, "call the dentist tomorrow at three", the door code at your friend's place. Brainy keeps it, and nudges you when it matters. TALK TO IT A real conversation, in your language. Ask what you told it last week. Tell it to forget something. It answers out loud, in a natural voice. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOU Say the time however you like: "in twenty minutes", "Friday morning", "every year on the 21st". Brainy works out the date and learns when you usually want things. YOUR DAY, AHEAD OF TIME Connect your calendar and Brainy tells you what's coming up and warns you before meetings. Sign in with Google and it can book a meeting with a Meet link, invite people from your contacts, or move and cancel one, just by asking. POINT THE CAMERA A wifi sticker, a receipt, a handwritten note, a shopping list. Brainy reads it and keeps what matters. The photo itself is never saved. MEETING NOTES Let Brainy listen while you talk. You get what was said, who said it, and what to do next, straight into your memory. NAMES THE SONG Music playing? Brainy tells you what it is and keeps it in your list. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything Brainy remembers is stored encrypted on your phone. Brainy only uses Google's AI after you allow it, and you can turn that off in Settings. Calendar, contacts and camera are optional switches you control. Brainy speaks and understands English, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Greek and Turkish.
