In today's visual world, we’re constantly inspired by what we see around us. And what this visual stimulus makes us think. These fresh, spontaneous thoughts are the start of brilliant new ideas, or at least they could be! If we grabbed them when they happen. Instead, how many times do we think to ourselves “I should grab that, I should take a picture of that, I should note that idea”. But we don’t. The moment of inspiration is lost. And not because we’re lazy - but because we haven’t had the right, fast way to grab it. We haven’t had the right ‘pen’ for the moment of visual inspiration... The BIF app solves this problem at speed. It’s been designed to fast-catch creative inspiration when it hits; both the visual stimulus of what we’re seeing (check this image) and what it makes us think (the inspired new thoughts and ideas). New ideas are then saved to the custom BIF album in Photos. Boom. Later, review new saved ideas and share them with others to start collaborating. New ideas are easily shared directly from Photos using email, texts or any of the multiple chat apps. Use BIF app to fast-catch your creative inspiration, and get better ideas happening faster.

Clarity is a Socratic thinking partner that helps you work through decisions, process emotions, and plan your next move — by asking the right questions, not giving you the answers. Unlike generic assistants that tell you what to do, Clarity uses Socratic questioning to draw out what you already know. Every conversation adapts to your values, goals, and communication style. Everything stays on your device. THINK THROUGH ANYTHING Whether you're weighing a career move, processing a tough conversation, or brainstorming your next project, Clarity meets you where you are. Choose from focused session types — brainstorming, processing, decision-making, planning, or open reflection. 8 THINKING FRAMEWORKS Go deeper with structured methods drawn from decision science and executive coaching. Apply Pre-Mortem to anticipate failure modes, Regret Minimization for direction-setting choices, 10-10-10 Analysis to weigh the long view, and Fear Setting when anxiety clouds judgment. Plus Pros & Cons, Friend's Advice, Values Alignment, and Ideal Week Design — each guided by hand-written prompts that ask the questions a wise friend would. YOUR VALUES, YOUR COMPASS Tell Clarity what matters most to you. Your values and goals become the lens through which every conversation is filtered — so advice always connects back to what you actually care about. COMPLETE PRIVACY Clarity processes everything on your device. Your conversations never leave your phone. No cloud. No tracking. No data collection. Period.
