Authenticator App
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most authenticator apps show you codes. TokenVault shows you your whole security picture — what is protected, what is not, and exactly what to fix next. A private, offline-first security companion for iPhone. No account. No tracking. Your codes never leave your device unless you choose to back them up — encrypted, with a passphrase only you hold. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Security Score — a live 0–100 score for your account security, with a clear breakdown and one-tap fixes. Watch it climb as your protection improves. • 2FA Coverage Gaps — see popular services you use that support authenticator codes but are not protected yet, with step-by-step guides to enable them. • Decoy Vault — a separate duress PIN opens a believable second vault, keeping your real one out of sight if you are ever forced to unlock. Face ID always opens your real vault. • AutoFill with Verified Domains — on iOS 18, your codes appear right above the keyboard in Safari and in apps. If the site does not match the account a code belongs to, you see a clear warning before it fills. A calm, practical layer against phishing. • Offline Device-to-Device Transfer — moving to a new iPhone? Hand off your entire vault with an animated QR transfer. No account, no cloud, no network — nothing is transmitted. • Privacy Shield — codes stay hidden until you tap, the app blurs itself in the app switcher, and if a screenshot or screen recording is detected, codes are masked instantly. • Smart Organization — automatic icon matching, duplicate detection with safe merge, and a cleanup assistant for stale or broken entries. A vault with a hundred codes stays effortless. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT, DONE PROPERLY • Standard TOTP codes (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, 6 or 8 digits) compatible with thousands of services • Add accounts by QR scan or manual entry; import from Google Authenticator and other apps • Face ID and PIN lock, with per-account Face ID for your most sensitive codes • Encrypted iCloud backups protected by a passphrase only you know • Pinned favorites, folders, instant search, and one-tap copy with an auto-clearing clipboard • Smooth, quiet animations throughout — fast, fluid, and respectful of Reduce Motion PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works fully offline — code generation never touches a network • No account, no email, no analytics profiles • Secrets live in an encrypted vault, with keys protected by the iOS Keychain • Backups and transfers are end-to-end encrypted with your passphrase Two-factor codes are among the strongest protections your accounts can have. this app makes them effortless — and shows you where you still need them.

Nia
Read full descriptionHide full description
Nia is an AI assistant for iPhone that listens, understands and gets things done. Talk to it or type, and what you say turns into real actions: events in your calendar, reminders that go off at the right time and in the right place, notes you can find again, routines that run on their own, and answers taken from your own documents. WHAT YOU CAN ASK FOR Calendar and reminders. Create, move and check events in the iPhone calendar and in Google Calendar. Set reminders with a time, a repeat or a place, so the shopping list shows up when you walk into the store. Alarms and timers. Ask for an alarm at seven or a timer for the pasta and Nia sets it without you leaving the conversation. Hands free, with your voice. Say the wake word and Nia starts listening with the phone still in your pocket. Cut in whenever you like: Nia stops talking and listens again. Memory that stays. Tell Nia once that you prefer meetings in the morning and it will remember. Everything Nia learns about you can be read, changed and deleted whenever you want. Routines and skills. Set up a routine that gets your week ready every Sunday evening, or teach Nia a new skill in your own words and call it by name when you need it. Photos and Nia Studio. Create images from a description, edit the ones you already have, erase or replace a background, expand a photo past its edges and crop it to the size you need. Email, files and documents. Get your inbox summarized, write replies, search Google Drive and ask questions about your own PDFs. Translation and live interpreter. Translate text, or hold a conversation in two languages with Nia interpreting in between. Scanning and meetings. Turn paper into a PDF, read a receipt, and record and transcribe a meeting on the phone itself. Plans with other people. Create a group, suggest a plan, and everyone who accepts gets it written into their own calendar. Places, music and getting around. Find places on a map, remember where you parked, start navigation and play music. Health. Log your health data and ask Nia about it. YOU DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS Nia shows you what it is about to do and asks first before calling someone, sending a message, opening another app or doing anything outside the app. Photo editing, receipt reading and meeting transcription run on your iPhone. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Widgets to start talking with one tap, a Live Activity while something is running, and support for Shortcuts and Siri so you can reach Nia from anywhere on the phone. PLANS Free: voice and chat, calendar, reminders, alarms, timers, places, navigation, music and one group. Plus: wake word, memory, routines, skills, photo editing and Nia Studio, email, Drive, documents, translation, scanning, meetings and more groups. Pro: video creation, health, the Pro model and the Gemini voice. LANGUAGES Nia works in 19 languages: Spanish, Catalan, English, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Hindi and Arabic. The interface follows the language of your iPhone, and Nia answers in the language you speak to it, with a native voice. Terms of Use (EULA): https://niapersonal.com/en/eula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nia at none against Authenticator App's shown. Authenticator App's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
