ideAI is the privacy-preserving memory and context layer for humans and AI. You can't see your own cognitive patterns. Your AI can't remember yesterday. ideAI closes both gaps — an encrypted, on-device memory layer that you browse as a semantic atlas, and your AI tools access via MCP. One data layer. Zero trust required. FOR YOU: THE ATLAS Import your digital history — journal entries, Twitter, Reddit, Claude, ChatGPT conversations — and watch it compress into a navigable topology. Day summaries. Week and month views. Semantic collision graphs that show where your thinking clusters, diverges, and evolves across time. FOR YOUR AI: DATASHARD Give any AI you already use — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor — secure access to your Atlas via MCP. Every conversation starts with your full context, not a blank slate. Your AI finally has a memory. ON-DEVICE AI INSIGHT Chat with an on-device AI that has full context of everything you've written. It surfaces temporal patterns, semantic collisions, and recurring themes across months and years. Not advice — structure. ZERO-KNOWLEDGE PRIVACY AES-256-GCM encryption. On-device processing via Apple Foundation Models and MLX. Your data stays on your device. No servers see your content. No model trains on your thoughts. DATA SOVEREIGNTY You own all data in portable formats. You control all processing. You can export, delete, or migrate without loss. The value is in the instrument, not data captivity. Free to start. No account required.

About

Clarya

Read full description

Clarya is a gentle focus and daily support companion designed for people who struggle with starting tasks, staying on track, or feeling overwhelmed. It helps you work with your brain instead of fighting against it. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional help — it simply offers small, doable tools you can use in real life when things feel heavy, scattered, or stressful. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH CLARYA • Break heavy tasks into tiny, realistic micro-steps • Use short focus timers and “body double” mode to stay engaged without pressure • Log tiny wins so you don’t forget what you actually accomplished today • Save “What was I doing?” intentions to recover quickly after interruptions • Use emergency calming tools for overstimulation or anxious moments • Explore a dopamine menu for low-energy days • Play short memory & time-awareness games to gently practice mental focus FOR REAL LIFE, NOT PERFECT DAYS Clarya is built around tiny steps, self-kindness, and realistic energy levels. You don’t need motivation, discipline, or a perfect routine — just one small step at a time. OFFLINE & PRIVATE Clarya does not use online AI services or require an account. All entries, notes, wins, and settings stay securely on your device. NOT MEDICAL OR THERAPEUTIC ADVICE Clarya is a self-help and productivity tool.
