Note: Access to a Nextcloud server with the Notes app installed is required to use this app. Visit https://nextcloud.com for more information. Nextcloud Notes is a notes editor that syncs with the Notes app (https://github.com/nextcloud/notes/releases) on your server. Once you have logged in to your server, all notes will be kept in sync between devices and also the web interface. Optionally supports sync on startup. You can create and delete notes directly on the device. Notes can be organized in categories. Edit as plain text or use markdown for rich formatting. Notes can be copied or exported to other apps or services in several formats. If you have a sync client (optional) installed on your desktop computer all notes will be there too, and can be edited with any text editor.
Sectional AI
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sectional AI is an independent contract assistant for airline pilots, built by a working line pilot. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Delta Air Lines, ALPA, or any airline or union. Access requires verification as a covered pilot. ASK YOUR CONTRACT Type a question in plain English — "What is a Flight Duty Period and when does it end?" — and get an answer grounded in the governing documents: the Pilot Working Agreement, the Scheduling Reference Handbook, and FAR Part 117. Every answer carries its citation; tap a source to read the contract text, verbatim, under the answer. AI-written answers are always labeled. If the answer isn't in the documents, the app says so instead of guessing. WORKS OFFLINE, BY DESIGN Search runs entirely on your device, and every question is answered there first: with Apple Intelligence on, Apple's on-device model writes a cited answer; without it, you still get the cited contract sections. Online, tap Max Thrust for a sharper cloud answer (a monthly allowance applies; you can turn cloud answers off in Settings). Your contract documents travel with you at FL350. YOUR FLYING LIFE, ORGANIZED • Flight Schedule — your rotations decoded: legs, duty, rest, and layovers, with live delays and times when online, and a heads-up before each departure. • Logbook — entries drafted from your schedule and pay statements with standard FAA logbook fields, ready to review, close out, and export (ForeFlight CSV or PDF). Scheduled and estimated times stay marked until live data or you confirm them. • My Money — trip pay, per diem, and take-home projections computed from published pay tables with deterministic math, never AI. Every estimate is labeled an estimate. • My Seniority — your system and category standing, monthly movement, and the retirements ahead of you, read directly from the published list. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No telemetry. No analytics. Your questions are never logged by the developer. A cloud answer sends your typed question, an opaque id that counts your monthly limit, and, when needed, a short tenure fact (like “7th year, 737 Captain”) to our server, which asks a third-party cloud AI using our own copy of the contract — never your name, employee number, email, schedule, or hire date. Your schedule and contract library stay on your device; your logbook, saved answers, sick calls, settings, and imported documents sync end-to-end encrypted, and the server cannot read them. MEMBERSHIP Sectional AI is for verified covered pilots. You verify once with a one-time code sent to your work email, no password; after that you can also sign in with Apple. In the app, contract content opens only after you verify, and updates go only to verified members' devices. IMPORTANT This app is a research tool. Final authority on contract interpretation rests with the PWA, the Delta MEC, and the FARs. Consult ALPA representatives for grievance or enforcement matters. Under the Railway Labor Act, comply with company directives in real time and dispute through the grievance process — fly now, grieve later. Sectional AI provides contract interpretation for reference only. It does not provide legal advice, does not answer operational or safety-of-flight questions, and never advises refusing an assignment.
