PHEV Cost Planner goes offline, computing savings on-device. That trend—privacy-first, offline-first apps—feels like 2025’s Mac/iOS reality. [1]
Offline-first design: PHEV Cost Planner keeps every calculation in AppStorage on your device—no accounts, no tracking. It surfaces a savings dashboard, break-even check-points, and what-if sliders for quick scenario planning. The app even embraces the Liquid glass UI. [1]
Redactor emphasizes on-device privacy with PII detection: it detects private data from emails, PDFs, and TXT, then processes locally first before any LLM use. Manual obfuscation lets you highlight and mask details, and a persistent database stores obfuscated terms for future docs. It supports OpenAI and Gemini models. [3]
BoltAI v2 highlights the cloud debate and privacy choices. Cloud Sync is optional; BoltAI Cloud sits on Supabase with strict row-level security (RLS), and data is encrypted at rest and in transit. You can also enable end-to-end encryption for API keys with your own passphrase. If you’d rather, you can skip cloud and run 100% locally. [2]
Closing thought: 2025’s move toward offline capability and privacy-first architectures is reshaping how Mac and iOS apps are built—and what users can expect from them going forward.
