Little Spud is the native iPhone and iPad companion app for Tater, a local-first AI assistant platform you control. Pair securely with your self-hosted Tater instance using a QR code, then access your Tater experience from anywhere: • Chat with streamed responses and live tool progress • Send images and view generated media • Use voice input and text-to-speech playback • Control supported lights, switches, thermostats, cameras, and other home devices • Browse music, manage playlists, select playback targets, and play music directly on your device • Receive private Tater alerts with image snapshots and full-screen video clips • Automatically switch between configured home and away connections Assistant messages are sent directly to the Tater URLs you configure. Push notifications contain only a generic wake event; Little Spud fetches the private notification content directly from your paired Tater instance. A user-controlled Tater instance is required for connected features. Local demo mode is available so you can explore the app without pairing a server.
