What Works on Each Device

Orrique is one app across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with an Apple Watch companion. Almost everything works the same on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A few features depend on hardware (a camera) or on a system feature that only exists on one platform. This page is a quick reference for what is available where.

In short

The only real gaps are hardware-bound or system-bound, so if a feature is missing on a device it is because that device lacks the camera or the platform feature it needs, not because Orrique left it out.

Versions you need

Orrique runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS and iPadOS 26 or later), Mac (macOS 26 or later), and Apple Watch through your paired iPhone. On-device AI features also need a device with Apple Intelligence turned on; where that is not available, Orrique uses its manual tools instead. See AI Features.

When to use this

Use this when you are wondering whether a feature you use on your iPhone will be there on your Mac, iPad, or Watch.

The big picture

iPhone

Has everything. This is the full journal, plus the Lock Screen Live Activity, Journaling Suggestions, and the camera scan.

iPad

Matches iPhone very closely, with a wider layout. A couple of iPhone system features (the Lock Screen Live Activity, Journaling Suggestions) are not there.

Mac

The full journal plus a menu bar item and keyboard shortcuts. No camera scan and no Lock Screen Live Activity.

Apple Watch

A focused companion: today’s pick, one-tap logging, a live check-in banner, and a complication. It gets its data from your iPhone.

Feature by device

What this page covers

This page is about where a feature exists, not whether it needs Pro. For the Pro question, see Free vs Orrique Pro. And a “No” in the Apple Watch column means the feature lives on your phone, not that it is missing: the Watch is a focused companion by design.

In the tables, “Yes” means available and “No” means not on that device. Notes explain the exceptions. The rows are grouped by capability so you can jump to the band you care about.

What “simplified” means on the Apple Watch

On the Watch, logging uses your usual settings for that scent. You cannot change the number of sprays, the application zone, or the occasion from the wrist, and notes are dictation only. For full control (sprays, zone, occasion, photos), log on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. See Apple Watch for the complete walkthrough.

Good to know

The Apple Watch relies on your iPhone

It receives today’s pick and your data from the paired iPhone over the watch connection, not from iCloud directly. If the Watch looks empty, open Orrique on your iPhone with the Watch nearby. See Apple Watch.

On-device AI features need Apple Intelligence

The scent profile, the written gap read, the Layering Room read, Wear Coach, the review and weekly recap drafts, and Read Bottle’s refinement run on your device and need a supported device with Apple Intelligence on. Where it is not available, Orrique uses its manual tools instead. See AI Features.

• Your journal is the same everywhere. With iCloud sync on, your collection and diary are identical on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Only the device-specific features in the tables above differ. See iCloud and Sync.
• Mac differences are about input, not features. The Mac adds a menu bar item, full menus, and keyboard shortcuts. It does not have the camera scan. See The Mac App.
• Finding the keyboard shortcuts. On Mac, the shortcuts live in the menu bar next to each command, so you can learn them as you go. The same shortcuts work on iPad when a hardware keyboard is attached. See The Mac App.
• Swipe actions are touch-only. On iPhone and iPad you swipe a diary row for quick actions; on Mac you use the menu instead.
