Private AI for families, on-device, free to try. Evie is an AI voice assistant for families, built around a single idea: your child's conversations never leave the device. Speech recognition, the language model, and the neural voice all run on the Apple Neural Engine. No sign-up, no cloud, no analytics, no data sharing. After a one-time model download, Evie works offline forever. NATURAL VOICE CHAT Push to talk and hear a reply that streams sentence-by-sentence, so the voice starts almost instantly. Type instead in quiet rooms — same model, no audio. Replay any answer aloud. AUDIENCE-AWARE PERSONA • Little (Under 5): tiny words, very short replies, slowest pace. • Kid (5–10): short answers, gentle tone, warm vocabulary. • Teen (11–17): more depth, still safe and curious. • Adult: persona-neutral, no length cap. Tone, reply length, and speaking pace are tunable per audience; parents can add extra instructions (Pro). LEARNING MODES • Socratic — answers with guiding questions. • Storyteller — listen, or co-create together (Pro). • Curious Scientist (Pro) — mechanism-first explanations full of wonder. • Calm Bedtime — quiet, slow-paced, winding-down replies. LESSONS A program that teaches how to think, not just facts, across four tracks: Independent Thinking, AI Cognition, Emotion & Responsibility, and Online Life. Each lesson blends reviewed, authored steps with a friendly "say it your way" moment, plus a companion guide for parents. The first lesson in every track is free; the rest unlock with Pro. PARENT MODE Controls sit behind a simple math challenge so kids can't change their own settings. Set daily allowed hours and weekdays, and whether kids can clear their own history. ON-DEVICE SAFETY MONITORING A two-tier classifier flags concerning child utterances (self-harm, possible abuse, fear or threat, bullying, distress, substances, aggression) to the parent only — never to the cloud, never to us. Any reply can be reported for parent review. MULTIPLE PROFILES (Pro) Each family member gets their own history, settings, and safety state. CONVERSATION HISTORY Browse, resume, rename, or delete sessions. Full-text search and export are Pro. THEMES Five looks — Original, Storybook, Playful, Sunshine, Picnic — plus a gentle weather backdrop. EVIE PRO Monthly, Annual, or one-time Lifetime — all unlock the same Pro features: multi-profile, Storyteller co-create, Curious Scientist, the full Lessons catalog, history search and export, and per-audience extra instructions. Everything else — voice and typed chat, all audiences, Socratic / Storyteller / Bedtime, parent mode, allowed hours, safety monitoring, and the first lesson of every track — is free. REQUIRES iOS 18+ and at least 6 GB of memory. iPhone: iPhone 14 or newer, plus iPhone 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max / 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max (iPhone 15 Pro / 16 or newer recommended). iPad: M-series iPads and iPad mini (A17 Pro).

Four are about how AI actually works: is a homework helper helping you learn, where answers come from, why a confident answer can still be wrong, and what happens when you ask the same question twice. • The back-to-school one — "Homework Helper or Homework Doer?" — is free for everyone. • Two more finish off the other tracks: owning a mistake and putting it right, and thinking before you post. • Plainer names for the ways Evie talks: Thinking, Science and Bedtime. • Press and talk, right away — the microphone opens in a fraction of the time, so first words aren't clipped, the button now responds the instant you press it, and you can cut in while Evie is still speaking. • The orange recording dot now appears only while the microphone is held. Evie was never listening at other times; now your device shows that too. • A tap you can feel when you press to talk, plus new Haptics and Click sound switches in Parent mode. • Fresh artwork across the app, sharp at every size — and a different medal each time a lesson is finished. • Large text sizes are much better supported — every screen was swept, and the layouts that used to squeeze or cut off are fixed. • First-time setup now tells you the size of Evie's one-time download before it starts. Still 100% offline and private — nothing your family says leaves the device. Thanks for using Evie! ### 1.12.0 — 2026-07-23 Evie comes to iPad! • Native iPad support — the same private, fully on-device Evie, now on the big screen. Larger windows add a side-by-side view: your conversation history in a panel next to the chat. Needs an iPad with at least 6 GB of memory — M-series iPads and iPad mini (A17 Pro). • A spoken daily hello — Evie greets each profile by name, once per morning, afternoon, and evening. Turn it off any time in Personalisation. • Replies get to the point — less "Hello there!" filler at the start of answers. • Better parent alerts — the on-device safety monitor now recognizes more phrasings of fear and bullying. Still 100% offline and private — nothing your family says leaves the device. Thanks for using Evie! ### 1.11.0 — 2026-07-09 This update makes Evie smoother and faster from the very first launch. • Faster setup and quicker first-time download — Evie is ready to talk sooner. • Give each profile its own look with a friendly new set of avatars, in Personalisation. • A warmer welcome with a gentle first hello and helpful tips while Evie gets ready. • More reliable conversations — Evie recovers gracefully instead of getting stuck mid-thought. • Behind-the-scenes safety improvements for parents. Still 100% offline and private — nothing your family says leaves the phone. Thanks for using Evie! ### 1.10.0 — 2026-07-06 Say hello to Lessons — a guided learning program that helps children build real thinking skills, not just get answers. Four tracks (Independent Thinking, AI Cognition, Emotion & Responsibility, and Child Entrepreneur), each with a companion guide for parents. The first lesson in every track is free. We also gave Evie a brighter, friendlier new look: a cleaner chat screen, a "Read aloud" button to replay any answer, smoother scrolling, and a gentle weather backdrop on the home screen. Still 100% offline and private — nothing your family says leaves the phone. Thanks for using Evie! ### 1.03 — 2026-06-22 • Export your conversations — Save any chat as a PDF or Markdown file to keep, print, or share. Find it under Parent settings → Your data, or swipe on any conversation in History. (Pro) • Easier reporting & feedback — A clearer, unified way to report a response or send us feedback, so you can flag anything that doesn't look right. • Smarter safety alerts — Improved on-device detection and more accurate parent alert badges, so nothing important slips by. As always, everything runs fully on-device. No account, no internet, no data leaves your iPhone. ## More apps by Chen-Kuo Chou - [Baseball Player Classic](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/baseball-player-classic/id6451048258) All apps by Chen-Kuo Chou: https://appshunter.io/developer/1687652053 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
