## What is Barkimedes?

Barkimedes - Your Personal Private Therapy Dog.

Meet Barkimedes.  The only completely private AI dog therapy talking companion.  Intelligent, cute, and with more technology that you've ever had crammed into one simple app.  Give yourself a truly unique experience designed to make you love and laugh.

Your Conversation, Your Control

There are no back doors in Barkimedes - your interactions are never sold, observed, or saved. Every discussion happens exclusively on your device, meaning you have total control over your data and content. It's like having a real pet, with the added perk of privacy!  You can tell it your secrets, you can try outlandish questions, there is no network involved. It's so secure that we don't even know what you're doing with it, that's our commitment to your privacy. (but of course you can always tell us we would love to know!)

Fast & Efficient

Why wait for slow-loading apps? With Barkimedes, your pet companion is ready to interact instantly, using only the energy already available in your hand.

Over-Engineered for Smiles.

In addition to being a talking dog, Barkimedes also uses every sensor it can for almost no reason but to make you smile.  His shadows move with your gyroscope.  It uses your camera (if you wish) to blend in with your surroundings.  It runs a 60 FPS physics engine for no reason. A purely beautiful toy in the spirit of "could we make it do this", never "but should we make it do this"


Note: Barkimedes requires iOS 16 or later, and will not work offline on iPhone XR (You can still use online mode and a reduced offline brain)

### 5/5 — Good dog.

*2024-05-29*

The world has a problem: therapists only listen, and friends give bad life advice. Who would have thought that the solution is a talking dog. 
Amazing lite weight offline database, insightful analysis, cute dog that’s a good listener, way better than that bing garbage. Really easy to use hands free. My friends all love it, I show it off all the time. 10/10

### 5/5 — Like having a real pet therapist!

*2024-05-24*

I confessed to Barkimedes that I was feeling lonely, and he helped me though some suggestions and we eventually decided that I should take a pottery class. He’s cute, funny, and a great listener!
