I think a lot. You probably do too. Loops is a notebook to help you think. It won't answer, remind you, or connect things. It holds your reasoning until you come back. Writing something feels like learning it. The friction is the point. THE COLD OPEN Come back to a Loop you've left alone for a week or more and the composer is withheld. You get the day count, the last thing you wrote, and your open prediction with three answers: it held, it didn't, still open. Only then do you get to write. CARRY ONE WITH YOU Put a question in your pocket and it moves to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island for as long as you're chewing on it. When the answer turns up on a walk or in the shower, tap it and you're writing before the thought is gone. THINGS DIE Every Loop shows how cold it is and fades as it goes. Untouched for sixty days and it archives itself. If it mattered, open it again. YOUR REASONING CAN LEAVE Copy any loop out as Markdown β€” the question, why it mattered, the whole trail, every prediction and how it turned out. Straight into any notes app, or as a file. WHAT IT DELIBERATELY WON'T DO No AI. No suggested connections. No daily review. No streaks. No notifications. No account, no sync, no analytics. Totally FREE.

Scan, edit and organize your PDFs. Documents are processed on your iPhone, without uploading them to external servers. Your privacy comes first. Description Your documents. Under control. Mighty PDF helps you scan, edit and organize PDFs directly on your iPhone. From a receipt you just photographed to a document you need to split or compress, find the tools you need in one app. Privacy starts with where your files are processed: on your device. Mighty PDF does not upload your documents to external servers for processing and does not require you to create an account. You decide when to share your files and with whom.

Edits are saved as new copies, keeping your original document intact. Compression results depend on the file’s contents. If the selected level does not produce a smaller copy, no free operation is used. Your library, also available in Files. Organize documents into folders, rename them, move them and search your local library. Your PDFs are also available in the Files app under β€œOn My iPhone β†’ Mighty PDF”, where you can copy, move or share them.
