## What is Hey Mei?

Hey Mei is your private AI companion that lives entirely on your iPhone. Talk naturally, and Mei remembers what matters — no cloud, no accounts, no data sent off-device.

WHY HEY MEI
• On-device AI — your conversations never leave your iPhone
• Persistent memory — Mei remembers your preferences, routines, and the small details that make replies feel personal
• Voice-first — hold a real conversation, hands-free
• Your everyday assistant — optional access to Apple Health, Calendar, Reminders, and Meals lets Mei act on what you ask

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Chat or speak with Mei about anything on your mind
• Ask Mei to add reminders, schedule events, or check your day
• Keep a private journal of notes and thoughts that Mei can recall from
• Log meals and let Mei track patterns with you
• Pick up a conversation days later — Mei remembers where you left off

APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION
With your permission, Mei reads steps, sleep, heart rate, HRV, mindful minutes, daylight, and workouts from Apple Health to shape your daily reflections, and writes mindful sessions, mood logs, and completed workouts back to Apple Health. All of it stays on-device — Mei never uploads your health data.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT
Hey Mei runs local AI models on your device and works offline. There are no servers, no telemetry about your conversations, and nothing to opt out of. What stays on your phone, stays on your phone.

Start with "Hey Mei" and see what a truly private companion feels like.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-08

Voice logging now keeps every word, even when you pause to think.

• Pauses mid-sentence no longer wipe the transcript
• Longer voice entries stay steady through silences

Still 100% on-device. No cloud, no accounts.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-01

Long conversations now stay sharp — Mei keeps her memory in order across hours of chat instead of drifting off-topic, with fewer dead-end replies along the way.

What's new in 1.0.1:
• Smarter long sessions — Mei compacts older turns in place so a single conversation can run all day without losing the thread
• Cleaner replies — recover Mei's natural answer when she pauses to check a tool or note, instead of the "I kept looking things up…" dead end
• Steadier on-device model — fixed the underlying cause of occasional nonsense words in extended chats

Everything still runs on your iPhone. No cloud, no accounts.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-01

No release notes.
