Know your day at a glance. Pocketd reads your calendar, reminders and Health on your iPhone and tells you what's next, what's due and how you slept, in plain words. Ask about your day, or tell it to add a reminder, and it does. The AI runs on the phone, and what you say to it stays there. No account, no subscription. ONE SCREEN FOR YOUR DAY • Today opens with a short brief and four tiles: Up next, Due, Sleep and Activity • Tap a tile for the whole story: your day's events, your reminders with tick-off and Undo, last night's sleep and today's activity against your usual, and the last 7 days • Those pages are read straight from Calendar, Reminders and Health, so the numbers are exact, not guessed by a model ASK ABOUT YOUR DAY • "What's on tomorrow?" "How did I sleep this week?" "Remind me to call the plumber at 5." • It adds reminders and events and ticks reminders off. Anything it adds shows as a card you can undo, and it never deletes anything you made • Type or speak. Speech is recognized on the device • Ask from Siri, Shortcuts or Control Center. Pocketd opens straight to the answer BRIEFED EVERY MORNING • The morning brief tells you when it's ready and opens Today • The overdue nudge tells you when something slipped • Widgets put your next thing on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen AI THAT RUNS ON YOUR PHONE • Built into iPhone: on iPhone 15 Pro and later with iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence turned on, Pocketd can use the language model Apple builds into iOS. Nothing to download • Private download: one recommended open model, about 1.1 GB, that runs on your iPhone through llama.cpp • Either way, answers are written on the phone and work in airplane mode PRIVATE, THE BORING KIND • No account and no sign-in • Your calendar, reminders and Health data are read on the device and stay there • A request from another device can never reach your calendar, reminders or Health data • Nothing you type or say is uploaded. The only data sent anywhere is anonymous usage counts, and a switch on the Privacy page turns them off POCKETD PRO Everything above is free. Pocketd Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and adds: • Use from your laptop: chat with the model on your phone from a browser on the same Wi-Fi, or from your developer tools through a local API • More routines: Evening wrap-up, Weekly review and your own • More brains: other open models, and search for more If you installed Pocketd before version 1.1.0, Pro is already yours. Requires iOS 18 or later. Downloading a model needs an internet connection once; after that, everything works offline. Privacy Policy: https://dheerajjha.github.io/pocketd/
