Bit Buddy 3

  • Bit Buddy 3.0 is a ground-up rebuild — every screen, every feature, every interaction redesigned in SwiftUI. This release introduces iCloud Sync, AI-powered insights, home and lock screen widgets, and a new Hybrid Privacy Model that keeps your sensitive data on-device by design.

New Features

  • Complete redesign — Rebuilt from the ground up with SwiftUI. New layouts, animations, and adaptive design for iPhone and iPad.
  • iCloud Sync — Sync your device library across all your Apple devices with CloudKit. Sensitive data stays local — only non-sensitive metadata syncs. Pro
  • On-device AI — Get personalized storage insights powered by Apple's Foundation Models on iOS 26+. 100% on-device, works offline, no data ever transmitted. Pro
  • Cloud AI providers — For devices below iOS 26, opt into cloud-based AI via OpenRouter with automatic data anonymization before transmission.
  • AI tips & recommendations — Personalized storage management tips generated from your device collection, with both AI-generated and curated options. Pro
  • AI insight cards — Inline AI analysis cards on device detail pages with 24-hour caching.
  • Home & lock screen widgets — Monitor device status, storage levels, and maintenance reminders at a glance in multiple sizes.
  • Auto Add — Automatically detect connected storage devices and add them with a single tap. All detection happens on-device. Pro
  • Feedback board — Submit feature requests and bug reports directly from Settings.

Improvements

  • No storage option — Devices can now be saved without specifying a storage capacity, useful for network shares or unknown capacities.
  • Smart capacity options — Intelligent capacity suggestions based on device type for faster device entry.
  • Enhanced cloud providers — Improved cloud storage provider configuration and integration.

Privacy

  • Hybrid Privacy Model — Dual-layer storage architecture that structurally prevents sensitive data from syncing. Notes, file contents, locations, and IP addresses never leave your device.
  • Automatic anonymization — Cloud AI automatically strips device names, exact dates, notes, and location data before transmission.
  • User control — iCloud Sync and cloud AI are both optional and can be disabled at any time.
