A Take Interest app for iPhone
Ask sharper questions
Askwell turns a messy, half-formed question into a clearer one, right on your iPhone. It scores your ask, shows what is missing, and saves a proof note so you get better with each try.
On device. No account, no network. Not on the App Store yet.
Try the loop
Type a question. The browser demo shows the same seven-signal shape without sending anything anywhere.
2 of 7 signals present
A sharper question carries more of the signals a good answer needs.

Rough result
A short, general reply: a few broad tips that could fit almost any version of this question, with nothing tailored to your case.
Useful result
A focused reply built around a clear aim, the situation: it answers the specific ask, works inside what you named, and points at a clear next step.
Illustrative. In the app, Askwell scores on device with built-in language tools and saves a receipt you can carry forward.

For iPhone · on device
Askwell is a local-first iPhone app that turns a messy, half-formed question into a clearer one. It scores your question on the device, shows the context that is missing, suggests a sharper version, and saves a short proof note for next time. There is no account and no network, so your questions stay on your phone and you can practice offline.

What it is
Askwell is a local-first iPhone app that turns a messy, half-formed question into a clearer one. It scores your question on the device, shows the context that is missing, suggests a sharper version, and saves a short proof note for next time. There is no account and no network, so your questions stay on your phone and you can practice offline.
The page demo mirrors the seven-signal scoring shape while keeping the typed question in the browser.
The weave
A good answer needs seven threads
Most questions carry two or three of these and leave the rest unsaid. Askwell shows you the gaps, so the answer you get back has something to work with.
Context
The situation the question sits inside.
Constraint
The limits that shape a real answer: time, budget, scope.
Evidence
The specifics and facts you already have in hand.
Audience
Who the answer is for.
Anti-case
What a good answer should avoid.
Next action
The move the answer should unlock.
How it works
A small loop you can run in a minute
Spot what the question is missing, ask it sharper, and save the proof. Each saved receipt compounds on the last.
- 01
Spot the gap
Type your question. Askwell scores it on the device and shows which signals it already carries and which are missing.
- 02
Ask it sharper
See a clearer version of your question and the difference between a thin reply and a useful one.
- 03
Save the proof
Keep a receipt of the before and after. It builds a streak and gives you a head start next time.

What the scorer is checking
The demo above is illustrative. In the iPhone app, the same loop scores on device and saves a receipt you can carry forward.

Repeated practice reads as progress over time, so saving a receipt feels like a step, not storage.

Frequently asked questions
What is Askwell?
Askwell is a local-first iPhone app that helps you ask sharper questions. Type a question the way it comes to you, and Askwell scores it on your device, shows the context it is missing, and suggests a clearer version. It saves a short proof note for next time, so a question you struggled with once becomes a head start later.
How is it different from asking an AI chatbot?
A chatbot answers the question you typed. Askwell improves the question first, so whatever you ask next gets a better answer. It runs on the device, names the signals a good answer needs, and keeps a record of your progress, so the skill stays with you instead of living in a chat window.
What does it run on?
Askwell scores your question on the device using built-in iOS language tools. There is no server in the loop, so it works offline and your question text never leaves your phone.
What data leaves my phone?
None. Askwell has no account, no sign-in, no network calls, no ads, and no third-party analytics. Your questions, scores, and saved receipts stay on the device. The privacy manifest declares no collected data and no tracking.
What is a saved receipt?
A receipt is the proof note Askwell keeps after you sharpen a question: the before and after, the score, the signals you added, and a prompt for your next rep. Receipts build into a streak so repeated practice reads as progress, and you can carry an old receipt forward when a similar question comes up again.
Does it work with Siri and Shortcuts?
The planned iOS shortcuts support lets you start a practice run or open a saved receipt from the system tools you already use.
Who is it for?
Anyone who wants the durable skill behind good work: asking the right question, checking what is missing, and proving the result. Support and enablement practice ships first, and the loop carries across any role.
