Strichbot without a key of your own On devices with Apple Intelligence the assistant now runs on Apple Private Cloud Compute, with no account and no key. There is a daily quota, a larger one with iCloud+. A key of your own keeps working. Notifications for shared lists When someone adds or crosses off something on a shared list, Strich lets you know. Tap the struck-through bell at the top of the list to turn notifications on for it. Your own changes never trigger a notification. Ask, stop and undo Strichbot An empty chat suggests what fits the list. While Strichbot writes, the stop button halts it. Right after applying, "Undo" takes the whole proposal back, and the history shows what became of each proposal. A photo of the note Take a photo of a shopping list on paper or a recipe, and Strichbot turns it into items. The photo goes along with that one message only and is not kept.

Better with VoiceOver Items say what a tap does and can be reordered with the “Move up” and “Move down” actions. Strich announces when something is added or struck, and when Strichbot is done. More contrast, larger text With “Increase Contrast” in Accessibility settings, the grey of done items and hints gets darker. The top bar grows with large text instead of being cut off.

Siri and Shortcuts Say “Add to Groceries in Strich”, then what is missing. Siri also strikes items, resets lists and reads out what is still open. The same actions are in the Shortcuts app. Your list on the Lock Screen In a list’s menu: “Show on Lock Screen”. The next open items then appear there and in the Dynamic Island, and a tap strikes them without unlocking. A button for new items Put “New Item” in Control Center, on the Lock Screen or on the Action button. One press opens your list with the keyboard ready for the next item. Lists in Search Type a list’s name into Search on the Home Screen, and it opens straight away. Strike items on the widget Tap an item on the widget to strike it, and tap again to take the stroke off. Struck items move to the end of their section. More widgets The list widget now also comes in medium. “Two lists” shows two lists one above the other, and long lists turn their pages at the top right. Search a list The magnifier at the top right of a list hides everything that does not match. Case and accents do not matter, and “Done” shows the whole list again.

New in 2.0: Strich is made for iPad. Strichbot opens in a column beside the list, and proposals show up right on the page while the conversation carries on. With a keyboard, ⌘N adds something new, ⌘K opens Strichbot and ⌘Return applies a proposal. Strich now speaks Spanish, French, Japanese and Portuguese. Pick a language in Settings or let Strich follow the system language. And: show only what is still open. In long lists, the "Open" button at the top right hides everything already struck off. Nothing is reordered, and "Show all" brings everything back. The setting is kept per list.
