Orvena vs Later Pro

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.

Later is a voice-first reminder app built for the moments when you can't look at your phone — especially in the car. Say one ordinary sentence, the way you'd say it to a person, and Later works out what you meant and when you meant it, saves it before the words have finished, and gets out of the way. No unlocking your phone, no typing, no digging through a list — just talk, and Later remembers. HOW IT WORKS Speak naturally: "Remind me to call the plumber tomorrow morning." "Put the bins out tonight." "Pick up milk when I leave work." Later's parser understands ordinary phrasing — times, dates, places, and the vague words people actually use — entirely on your device. Nothing you say is sent to a server to be understood. WHAT LATER UNDERSTANDS • Explicit times and dates — "at 5", "next Tuesday", "the 28th of March" • Relative phrases — "in 20 minutes", "in a fortnight" • Vague words, made yours — "tonight", "later", "soon" and "in a bit" all resolve to real times, and you can teach Later exactly what each one means to you, or add your own phrases entirely ("after the school run" can mean 3:30pm, if that's what you actually say) • Places — "when I get home", "when I leave work", or anywhere else you name • Recurrence — "every Tuesday at 8", "every weekday", "every month" • Actions — say "call Dave" or "text Sarah" and the reminder arrives with a one-tap Call or Message button already attached BUILT FOR DRIVING, NOT JUST TOLERATING IT • CarPlay — speak a reminder from the car's own screen, no phone needed • "When I park" — fires the moment you switch the engine off, so the thought lands exactly when you can act on it • Home and Work arrival triggers — "call Mum when I get home" does exactly that • Confirmations are spoken back to you, so nothing needs reading while you drive NEVER LOSES A THOUGHT Every reminder is saved before any confirmation appears — if your phone died mid-sentence, the reminder would already be safe. Anything Later isn't sure about is flagged for a one-tap fix, never dropped. Repeating reminders roll forward instead of disappearing, gentle follow-ups nudge you if something's still outstanding, and everything you complete stays logged so nothing quietly falls through. STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY • Lock Screen widget and Dynamic Island show what's next without opening the app • Tag and search your reminders once the list gets long • Attach a reference photo so "sort the garage" still makes sense next week • Export any timed reminder straight to your Calendar • Share a reminder with family so an errand doesn't get done twice PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in, no server. Everything you capture stays on your device and, if you choose to enable iCloud sync, in your own private iCloud account — never on a server we run. Speech is transcribed on-device wherever your iPhone supports it. Say it. Forget it. Later remembers. — Later Pro unlocks CarPlay voice capture, "when I park" reminders, and Home/Work arrival triggers. Everything else — capturing reminders by voice, natural-language times, repeats, tags and Calendar export — is free forever. Later Pro is offered as an auto-renewing subscription: • Monthly — £1.99/month • Yearly — £14.99/year Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
