  • 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
  • Expensive for just notes
  • Smaller community than Obsidian
  • Expensive
  • Best for well-scoped tasks
  • Not for solo hobbyists
  • Smaller community
  • Model selection more limited
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.)A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.
