What Is Pajdo?
Pajdo is a wellness app built around a small green mascot that wears your Apple Health data as a mood. The website lists eight moods, such as Steady, Tired, Running warm and Couch mode, each opening the chart behind it. The name is Croatian for "buddy".
The developer behind Pajdo is Josip Markovic, who confirmed to PromptQuorum on 26 October 2026 that he also makes Castmates, an offline roleplay app, and Lyonesse, an on-device transcription app. The App Store shows the same seller name on all three apps, and the privacy policy names the operator as Markovic Software, obrt za usluge.

Version reviewed: 1.3.3, released on 25 October 2026 per the App Store listing; the first release was on 13 October 2026. The AI answers need a device that supports Apple Intelligence; on other devices the website says Pajdo uses prewritten replies.

How to Get Started
Setup follows the order described on the website and listing; PromptQuorum has not run these steps.
- 1Check your device
Why it matters: Pajdo needs iOS or iPadOS 26.0 or later. For AI answers the iPhone must support Apple Intelligence; otherwise you get prewritten replies. - 2Install the app and allow Apple Health access
Why it matters: The app reads only the Apple Health categories you permit, and the website says no account or sign-up is needed. - 3Wear the Apple Watch, if you have one
Why it matters: The watch is optional, but sleep and heart data come from it. Pajdo compares your numbers with your own last 28 days, or 60 days for HRV. - 4Tap a mood to see the chart
Why it matters: Each mood opens the data behind it, so you can check the finding yourself. - 5Ask a question
Why it matters: The free plan allows 5 questions a week about your sleep, heart or workouts; Pro removes the limit.
Features Confirmed by the Sources
Every item below comes from the App Store listing, the website or the privacy policy.
- Moods and charts. Eight moods summarize your data; each is tappable and shows the underlying chart.
- Questions about your numbers. You ask in plain words and get your own figures back; the website says plain code does the math and Apple Intelligence phrases the answer.
- Daily briefing and weekly recap. A short briefing is written on the device each morning, and notifications are limited to about two a day.
- Logging. Mood, energy, symptoms and mindful minutes can be logged from the iPhone, Apple Watch or a widget; mood, symptoms and mindful minutes can be written back to Apple Health.
- Pro tools. Workout plans that adapt to sleep and HRV and can be sent to the Apple Watch, race plans from 5K to marathon, 10-day experiments such as a caffeine curfew, correlations, a self-tagging journal and a PDF trends report for doctor visits.
- Latest update (1.3.3). The release notes add 1, 3 and 5 minute breathing breaks, easing a race plan for a few days and a sleep-rating prompt.
- Cycle log. An optional cycle log and calendar exist, and the listing says Pajdo never makes predictions from it.
Privacy and Network Use
The privacy policy, updated on 25 October 2026, says health data never leaves the phone and that none of your data goes "to us, to analytics, to iCloud or to an AI service in the cloud". It adds that health data and what Pajdo learns are kept out of iCloud and device backups, so a new phone starts fresh, and that the iPhone and Apple Watch exchange data in encrypted form.
What does leave the phone is limited. Usage analytics go to Mixpanel, stored in the EU, only if you consent and without health values or journal text. RevenueCat receives purchase status and an anonymous ID, Apple handles payments, and Vercel hosts the website. Analytics are kept for two years, and "Delete all data" in the settings removes what is on the device.
The policy points to Croatia's data protection authority AZOP as a possible regulator and has a consumer health data section that cites Washington state. It does not say that the AI is Apple Intelligence by name; the website does.
📌Note: The app is closed source, so none of these claims can be checked in code, and PromptQuorum has not audited network traffic. Anyone handling sensitive health data should verify the behavior on their own device.
From the Maker
Josip Markovic, the developer of Pajdo, reviewed the draft of this review and sent the note below. It is presented as the developer's own words, not as PromptQuorum's independent editorial assessment. He adds that the health data never leaves the phone, not to him, not to iCloud and not to a cloud AI service; PromptQuorum could not verify this in code, because the app is closed source:
"I wanted my Apple Watch data explained like a friend would, without sending my health data anywhere. So the numbers are done by plain code, Apple's on-device model only puts them into words, and Pajdo's face shows how you're doing at a glance. It's a wellness buddy, not a medical app, and it never diagnoses. Next up is more coaching for runners and for sleep, based on what people actually ask it."
— Josip Markovic, developer
Who Should Use It
- Apple Watch owners who want their sleep and HRV explained. The charts sit behind every finding.
- People who prefer health data kept on the phone. The developer says nothing is uploaded, with the caveats in the privacy section.
- Runners who want recovery-based plans. The race plans and workout suggestions are Pro features.
What We Could Not Verify
- Hands-on quality. PromptQuorum did not run the app, so the accuracy of the moods, the quality of the answers and battery use are not assessed.
- The on-device AI claim. The website names Apple Intelligence, the policy only says the AI runs on the device, and no model details are given; none of it can be checked in code.
- Source code and license. The app is closed source and no public repository was found.
- Traffic. PromptQuorum has not audited network traffic, so the analytics described in the policy are not independently verified.
- Track record. The app is two weeks old, has no App Store ratings yet and gives no support commitment.
- Medical use. The developer states it is not a medical device and never diagnoses; talk to a doctor about persistent changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. The website calls the watch optional; it adds sleep and heart data and enables the watch app, complications and workout plans sent to the wrist.
Does Pajdo work without Apple Intelligence?
Partly. Per the website, without Apple Intelligence the app uses prewritten replies instead of generated answers; the moods and charts are calculated by plain code.
Which languages does it support?
The website and listing name 17 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese; the app follows the language set on the iPhone. Arabic is not among them.
Is Pajdo a medical app?
No. The developer calls it a wellness companion that describes your measurements and never diagnoses, and the listing rates it 12+.
Is it from the same developer as Castmates and Lyonesse?
Yes, per the developer's email to PromptQuorum on 26 October 2026 and the identical App Store seller name. The website itself does not mention the other apps.
Verdict
Pajdo is a free Apple Health companion that says its question answering runs on the iPhone through Apple Intelligence, with eight moods, charts behind every finding and Pro tools for workout planning. Against that, it is closed source, two weeks old, unrated, requires iOS 26, and the on-device claim cannot be checked. It suits Apple Watch owners who want their numbers explained and accept a young, closed app; readers looking for the same developer's other work can read the Lyonesse review.
