## What is Sleeveworks?

Sleeveworks is private AI with a point of view. Choose a personality, type or talk, and keep the conversation close. Its language model runs directly on your iPhone instead of sending every thought to a cloud AI service.

MEET THE CAST

Start with Companion, Gremlin, Pengo, Shekky, and Sage. Browse every character, read sample replies, and hear their on-device voice before choosing.

Expand your cast with one-time personality unlocks, including Atlas the accountability coach, Bea the warm Southern grandmother, Quill the theatrical bard, Specter the gothic storyteller, and more. Each personality brings a distinct voice, attitude, and way of seeing the conversation.

VOICE THAT FEELS LIKE CONVERSATION

Tap Talk, speak naturally, and hear Sleeveworks answer. After a reply, the microphone can reopen automatically so the conversation keeps moving.

When parallel capture is available, Sleeveworks can continue listening while it responds and place longer interjections in Up Next instead of derailing the current answer. Interrupt at any time when you want to take the floor.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

After the one-time model download, core conversations are processed on your iPhone and can work without an internet connection.

No account.
No advertising.
No tracking or analytics.
No API key.

Optional Wikipedia lookup is off by default and only connects when you enable it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.0 — 2026-07-29

Sleeveworks 2.2 makes conversations clearer, faster, and more personal.

- Explore the redesigned personality gallery
- Preview each character and voice before choosing
- Move easily between Chat, Voice, and Personalities
- Enjoy a richer Voice experience with clearer listening, speaking, and interruption controls
- Keep talking while Sleeveworks responds with parallel voice capture and Up Next
- Stop text responses without losing the conversation
- Improved audio reliability, memory recovery, and performance

### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-06

Voice mode, rebuilt for real rooms:

• Background noise no longer derails the conversation — a new on-device voice detector tells actual speech from typing, dishes, and traffic.
• Your companion keeps its train of thought. Anything you say while it's talking is captured into an "Up next" list on the voice screen — tap an item to jump to it, or let the conversation work through the list in order.
• Faster back-and-forth — turns commit noticeably quicker after you stop talking.
• Smarter brains — upgraded to the Qwen3 model family, with new options in the model menu.
• Smoother under pressure — Sleeveworks now watches its own memory use and gracefully pauses instead of crashing when your device is running low.
• Reopening a conversation now takes you straight to where you left off.
• Conversational voice mode — background noise won't interrupt you, and anything said while your companion is speaking is captured, never lost.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-06-24

• A new preview page for each personality — tap any character to read its full description and a few sample lines before you choose.
• Sleeveworks now remembers the personality you were last talking to.
• Improved memory handling for more reliable voice conversations.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-06-20

Ten new personalities have arrived — collect the ones that click with you:
• Atlas — a no-excuses strength coach
• Stella — a wide-eyed cosmic optimist
• Quill — a theatrical Shakespearean bard
• Vance — a hardboiled film-noir detective
• Doc Hertz — an eccentric mad-scientist inventor
• Pixel — a hyper-energetic gamer
• Bea — a warm, sassy Southern grandmother
• Brio — a fiery, passionate chef
• Sterling — a proper, unflappable British butler
• Specter — a gothic, cozy-spooky storyteller
Also new: an option to hide personalities you haven't unlocked, for a cleaner list.
As always, everything runs privately on your device — no account, no cloud, fully offline after the one-time model download.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-06-14

Fixed online lookup so the assistant reliably searches for real-world facts (people, places, dates) instead of occasionally showing raw text in the reply. Plus small stability improvements.
