PricingWaitlist / Beta (pricing not yet disclosed)$10/moAPI + open weights (Schnell is Apache 2.0)Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans
Best foriPhone power users who are frustrated that Siri is still reactive and want their home screen to actually anticipate their day.Knowledge workers + thinkers who want AI in their second brain.Developers + power users who want control and privacy.Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.
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
  • AI auto-links related notes
  • Generates backlinks + summaries
  • Clean, minimal UX
  • Runs locally on a beefy GPU
  • Very photoreal
  • Best open-weight model
  • Runs locally, edits your actual files
  • Strong on large codebases with 1M context
  • Great at multi-step tasks
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
  • Expensive for just notes
  • Smaller community than Obsidian
  • Harder to use than hosted tools
  • Needs infra
  • Terminal-based — learning curve
  • Can't be used without Claude subscription
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. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
