Some to-do apps push you to do more. Todd helps you finish — and switch off. In Todd, every to-do is a light left on in a little ghost's room. Check a task off and a light goes out, the room gets darker, and Todd gets closer to sleep. Turn off the last one — or pull the cord — and he curls up for the night. That's the whole ritual: close your day, gently. MEET TODD • A sleepy ghost who lives in your checklist. By day he sips coffee, reads, doodles and dances. • Past bedtime, leftover lights keep him squinting awake. Leave them on overnight and he shows up tomorrow with dark circles — never angry, just very, very sleepy. • Tap him. He's ticklish. A REAL TO-DO LIST UNDERNEATH • Quick add with notes, times and reminders • Repeat rules — daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly • Auto-postpone: unfinished tasks quietly move to tomorrow • Weekly view to plan ahead and look back on your week • Home Screen widget: Todd's mood + how many lights are left • The pull cord: end the day in one satisfying sweep THE WEEKLY ELECTRIC BILL Every Monday, Todd hands you a playful receipt: how much "electricity" the lights you left on burned this week. Close every day and the bill is zero. The friendliest accountability you'll ever get. CALM BY DESIGN • Gentle nudges, never guilt — an empty room is an invitation, not a failure • Morning hello and a soft wind-down reminder before bedtime • Every switch has weight: real, satisfying haptics PRIVATE BY DEFAULT 100% on your device. No account, no sign-up, works offline. TODD PLUS (optional) Unlimited repeat rules and seven lamp colors to light Todd's room your way. The core ritual is free, forever. Your day deserves an ending. Let Todd turn off the lights. -- Todd Plus subscription • Monthly and Yearly plans renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Record the conversation. Get a transcript that says who said what. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Interview is a recorder for conversations that can't leak: client meetings, interviews, research sessions, anything you'd rather keep to yourself. Tap Record, talk, tap Done. Minutes later you have a transcript with every line labeled by the person who said it. All of it happens on your phone. No account, no servers, no upload. The only way an interview leaves your phone is when you share it yourself. KNOWS WHO'S TALKING Interview tells the voices in the room apart and labels every line. Name a speaker once and everything they said is labeled. If it isn't sure, it asks instead of guessing. REMEMBERS THE PEOPLE YOU INTERVIEW Name someone once and Interview recognizes them next time. It learns your own voice during setup, so you're labeled automatically. Remembered voices are yours to delete, any time. SHARE ON YOUR TERMS Send the transcript as text, Markdown, Word or PDF, with or without the audio. Nothing is shared until you choose to. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Transcribes 33 languages and picks the right one on its own: Arabic, Cantonese, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Mandarin, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Some languages need a one-time download from Apple the first time. Titles and summaries come from Apple Intelligence, which writes them in Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Vietnamese. Recordings in other languages still get the full transcript, dated instead of titled. ALREADY HAVE A RECORDING? Import audio or video, or paste a link to an episode or audio file, and get the same transcript. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-in • No servers, no upload • Delete means gone Made for anyone who cares about privacy. Lawyers, journalists and researchers use it, and so can anyone who'd rather keep a conversation their own. Works best on iPhone 12 or later. Titles and summaries need Apple Intelligence.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Todd at daily against Interview's weekly. Todd also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.4). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
