AI-first Mac and iOS apps are landing fast. One standout is AI Fact Checker, an iOS app that fact-checks claims and images in seconds. [1]
There’s also Roastr — an AI Roast Generator for photos and chats. [2]
And EchoDay uses on-device Apple Intelligence to summarize your day with zero cloud storage. It auto-syncs with Calendar & Reminders, runs on-device, and offers a free tier with a paid option to remove ads. [3]
On the nutrition front, Raspberry logs meals with verified sources (USDA/OpenFoodFacts) and carries a pricing tag of $24.99/month. [4]
Across utilities, Spark and Canary hint at cross-device AI capabilities, with Spark Classic staying free and Spark Pro adding AI features. [5]
Distribution and pricing are clearly evolving: free-to-download tiers mix with paid add-ons, and on-device models like EchoDay emphasize privacy with no cloud storage. The App Store remains the primary launcher for these AI-first tools, while on-device intelligence and selective cloud use shape how developers monetize and distribute in 2025. [3][5]
Bottom line: 2025 is a testbed for on-device AI, privacy-first planning, and carefully tiered pricing that lets users try before they buy. Watch how more apps balance free access with pro features as Apple’s AI tooling tightens its grip on the iPhone and Mac ecosystem. [3][4]
