TaglineAn agentic iPhone home screen that replaces your static icon grid with AI widgets that proactively surface health, calendar, finance, and local context — without you having to open a single app.The one that actually gets text in images right.Meta FAIR's open-source Python library that finally bridges the gap between neuroimaging data (fMRI, EEG, spikes) and modern deep learning pipelines.Grammar check + tone + AI drafting, everywhere you type.

Best foriPhone power users who are frustrated that Siri is still reactive and want their home screen to actually anticipate their day.Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks.Computational neuroscience researchers who want to train deep learning models on brain recordings without building custom data pipelines from scratch.Non-native English writers, business email, anyone who types a lot.
Strengths
  • Ambient, proactive intelligence delivered via native iOS widgets — no app-switching required
  • Cross-domain context: health, calendar, email, finances, and local recommendations in one layer
  • Works within iOS permission model (no jailbreak or sideloading), making App Store approval plausible
  • Strong pre-launch signal: 25k+ waitlist and backing from a16z, True Ventures, and SV Angel
  • Best text rendering in the game
  • Strong free tier
  • Good for logos, posters, thumbnails
  • Unified interface across fMRI, MEG, EEG, iEEG, fNIRS, EMG, and spike trains — no more siloed modality-specific tools
  • Lazy, memory-efficient loading that scales to terabyte-scale OpenNeuro datasets without RAM blowout
  • Native HuggingFace integration for embedding stimuli (text, audio, video) using models like DINOv2, CLIP, Wav2Vec, and more
  • Pydantic-based config validation catches bad BIDS paths or filter settings at init, not after hours of wasted compute
  • Scales from local laptop prototyping to SLURM clusters without rewriting infrastructure code
  • Works in every browser/app
  • Now has generative AI (GrammarlyGO)
  • Tone detection + suggestions
Weaknesses
  • 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
  • Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney
  • Less style variety
  • Extremely niche audience — only useful to neuro-AI researchers with Python/PyTorch chops and access to neuroimaging datasets
  • No GUI or managed cloud environment; requires local setup and familiarity with BIDS data formats
  • Still a preprint-stage release with no arXiv paper yet — API stability and long-term maintenance are unproven
  • Can feel naggy
  • Premium features gate basics
  • Privacy concerns (reads your writing)
Kai's verdictThe 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 text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.If you're doing neuro-AI research, this is the plumbing you've been manually building for years — finally done right by the team that actually runs these experiments at scale. Extremely narrow use case, but within that lane it looks genuinely best-in-class. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.
