IdeAI vs FlowFlow

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.

FlowFlow turns your voice into an organized, searchable memory that lives on your own devices. Record a thought. FlowFlow transcribes it, gives it a title and tags, and files it. Later, ask questions in plain language and get answers drawn from your notes, with sources you can open. RECORD AND TRANSCRIBE - One-tap voice capture with a live waveform, pause, and resume. - Transcribe in the cloud with Soniox or entirely on-device with local Whisper models. - Local transcription works in airplane mode, and the audio never leaves your iPhone. - Start a recording from Control Center or the Lock Screen. - Import PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, and CSV files. OCR supports scanned PDFs. ASK YOUR NOTES - Ask questions and get answers with sources you can open. - Search combines keywords, semantic retrieval, and reranking. - Enable web search for a conversation when you need recent information. - Save an answer or an entire thread as a note. - Use an OpenAI API key or connect your ChatGPT subscription for chat. - An OpenAI API key is still required for embeddings and semantic search. ORGANIZE - Automatic titles and tags as you write. - Hierarchical folders and note threads that read from top to bottom. - Related notes surfaced automatically. - Notes grouped by date for easier navigation. - Turn a request such as “pick up the kids at 5 PM” into an iOS reminder. COLLABORATE IN SPACES - Create team spaces containing multiple themes. - Invite members with a single-use link. - Grant read-only or read-write access. - Share only the themes placed inside a space. Your private notes remain outside it. - Manage members, themes, and permissions from the sidebar. WORK WITH HERMES - Give Hermes access to one specific space. - Choose read-only or read-write access. - Revoke or regenerate its access at any time. - Hermes can read authorized folders, notes, and threads, then contribute in the same space as your team. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Personal notes and the search index stay on your devices. - Sync between your own devices travels directly over the encrypted local network. - Only content you intentionally place in a shared space is sent to the FlowFlow service and authorized members. - Back up and restore your data as one archive. API keys and pairing secrets are not included. ASSISTANTS AND CONNECTORS - Connect available services such as Google Sheets and limit an assistant to selected resources. - External actions that require approval are shown before execution. - Hermes can write in a space only when you grant it read-write access. IPHONE AND MAC - A keyboard-first Mac app with fast navigation and native dialogs. - Available in English and French. - Up to three devices can be linked to one FlowFlow account. Configure the services you need in Settings: a ChatGPT subscription or OpenAI API key for chat, an OpenAI API key for semantic search, and Soniox or local Whisper for transcription. Anthropic remains available as an optional chat provider. Open source under the EUPL 1.2 license.
