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
  • Expensive at scale
  • Still needs post-editing
  • Not a general chatbot
  • Answers can be shallow on complex topics
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.S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
