Weaknesses
  • Expensive for just notes
  • Smaller community than Obsidian
  • Still pre-launch / beta — zero proven track record and no public pricing yet
  • iPhone-only by design, which immediately locks out half the smartphone market
  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Pricey for casual use
  • Fiction-only focus — not for business writing
  • Needs beefy laptop for larger models
  • Speed way behind cloud APIs
Kai's verdictA-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.The concept is genuinely compelling — turning the home screen into a living AI layer is a smarter bet than yet another chat interface — but this is vaporware until it ships publicly and we see whether Apple's sandbox lets it breathe. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.
