What only Yar does

A guess you can see and correct, that changes your day.

Yar shows you its guess about how you are doing, lets you correct it, and changes what it does for your day, with the AI on your own phone. Everything else supports that core.

What Yar provides. At the core, only in Yar: it notices how you are, shows you its guess, you correct it, and your day changes; each correction makes it more yours. Around the core, what keeps it safe and yours: the AI runs on your phone, consent per purpose, a record you own and can edit or delete, and a fixed safety path to people you chose. Around that, shared ground other products also cover: capture, steps you can start, a day planner, conversation, mood check-ins, reminders, focus timers, and crisis resources.
As of 21 October 2026, among the 35 products we scored, we found none that documents all four: it notices how you are doing, shows you that guess, lets you correct it, and changes what it does for your day, with the inference on your own phone. See how Yar compares.
How it works

How the core works: one loop, on your phone.

The Yar loop, four steps around your device. One: you talk, type, or tap; what you tell Yar comes first. Two: Yar notices, with consent; you see it and correct it. Three: your day bends; tools, interface, and style adapt. Four: what helped is remembered, on your device and yours to edit. Then the loop starts again.
The loop in practice

Four screens, four steps.

  1. Capture screen: Yar is listening, and a thought map grows from what you say. 1

    Capture

    Your words become a map while you talk.

  2. Mental weather screen: today shows as light fog, low energy, with buttons to correct it or see why. 2

    Mental weather

    A guess you can see and correct.

  3. A plan that bent: Yar moved two things to later and opened the gentle track, with Undo and Keep buttons. 3

    A plan that bent

    Lighter today, with its reason and an undo.

  4. Today screen: good morning, with yesterday's thread waiting and one first step. 4

    Today

    Yesterday’s thread, remembered.

Private by design

Everything happens on your device.

Nothing leaves without your yes. A safety gate stands in front of every model call, and you can see, edit, or delete what Yar keeps.

How Yar fits together. You, at the top: what you say and do goes in, and suggestions you can take or skip come back. Inside your phone, signals (voice, text, rhythm, wearables) feed the core, only in Yar: the state Yar infers (mood, energy, focus), shown to you as a guess you correct, and the adaptation that changes what Yar does for your day (tools, interface, style). Beneath the core, what keeps it safe and yours: consent per purpose, on-device AI, a safety gate in front of the AI, a crisis route to people you chose, and your record, which you can edit; what helped is kept there. Outside your phone, the Cytognosis open map informs the model, and no personal data goes up.

How Yar compares

Others do part of the loop. Yar closes it.

We read the public pages, app listings, and privacy policies of 35 products. Each group below does some of the steps; none we found does them all on your phone.
