Read full description

Embasis Paper is a quiet page that writes back. Write naturally with Apple Pencil, your finger, or touch. After a short pause, Paper reads what you wrote, your ink softly fades, and a response appears on the page. No chat bubbles. No prompt box. Just write. AI runs on your device Choose from supported local intelligence options powered by Apple, Liquid, or Gemma. Your writing is not sent to a hosted AI model for inference. A conversation on paper Write something, wait for the response, then keep writing. Paper remembers the conversation on that page so you can continue naturally. Your handwriting stays yours Original ink and conversation history are saved locally on your device. Handwriting recognition also runs on-device after the required recognition model is installed. Choose how Paper responds Pick a personality such as Companion, Dreamer, or Trickster to change the tone of the conversation independently of the AI model. Simple by design Create a page, write, and let Paper answer. Past pages can be reopened or continued later without turning the experience into a traditional chatbot. Embasis Paper is built for iPhone and iPad with local intelligence at its core. A page that thinks with you.
