A truly private AI — one that lives entirely on your iPhone and iPad. the itch fix runs a powerful language model directly on your device. No accounts. No sign-ups. No servers. Your conversations never leave your phone. After a one-time model download, you can switch on Airplane Mode and it still works — every single time. This is AI the way it should be: yours. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • 100% on-device — the model runs locally on Apple's Metal GPU. Nothing is sent to the cloud. • Truly private — your chats, topics, and notes stay on your phone. We literally can't see them. • Works with no internet — once set up, it never needs a connection again. Perfect for flights, subways, dead zones, and travel abroad. • No account, no subscription to think, no data harvesting — just open it and go. • Fast and battery-aware — built natively in Swift and tuned to stay cool and efficient. ASK IT ANYTHING Brainstorm ideas, draft messages, explain hard concepts, summarize your notes, plan a trip, debug code, or just think out loud. It's a sharp, capable assistant that happens to keep everything between you and your device. INTRODUCING COMMUTE LEARN Turn your dead time into learning time. Tell Commute Learn a subject you're curious about — "quantum computing," "the Roman empire," "how the stock market works" — and it instantly designs a full course for you: • A smart syllabus — a clear, table-of-contents lesson plan you can tailor to one, two, or three weeks. • ~10-minute audio sessions — each lesson is written as an engaging, plain-English story, packed with real-world examples and analogies that make complex ideas click. • Listen anywhere, hands-free — plays through your car, AirPods, or speaker, with lock-screen and steering-wheel controls. Keep your eyes on the road. • Natural voices — choose from Apple's high-quality voices for narration that actually sounds human. • Built for your commute — and generated entirely on-device, so your curiosity stays private too. It's like having a personal podcast made just for you, about exactly what you want to learn — no internet required. PRIVACY ISN'T A FEATURE. IT'S THE FOUNDATION. Most "AI" apps ship your words to a server. the itch fix doesn't have a server. Everything — every chat, every lesson, every byte — happens on your device and stays there. That's not a setting you turn on. It's how the app is built. Download once. Own it forever. Private by design.
