PricingWaitlist / Beta (pricing not yet disclosed)Free + open sourceAPI + open weights (Schnell is Apache 2.0)Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/mo
Best foriPhone power users who are frustrated that Siri is still reactive and want their home screen to actually anticipate their day.Devs wanting offline/local LLMs for privacy or experimentation.Developers + power users who want control and privacy.Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks.
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
  • Run Llama, Mistral, Qwen, etc. on your laptop
  • Simple CLI + API
  • Hardware-aware (picks the right quant)
  • Runs locally on a beefy GPU
  • Very photoreal
  • Best open-weight model
  • Best text rendering in the game
  • Strong free tier
  • Good for logos, posters, thumbnails
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
  • Needs beefy laptop for larger models
  • Speed way behind cloud APIs
  • Harder to use than hosted tools
  • Needs infra
  • Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney
  • Less style variety
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 local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
