What you give up either way
- App Store distribution, reviews, and existing user base
- Polished native iOS UI and platform integrations (in-app purchases/subscriptions)
- Developer-provided curated assistant presets and ongoing app-store updates
- Brand/trust and cross-device App Store presence (ratings)
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Gronk, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
