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

MAgent

Read full description

MAgent — a true AI agent in your pocket. Talk it through. Put it to work. Your chosen AI model brings understanding and reasoning. MAgent connects it to tools, actions and long-term memory. Describe your goal using text, voice or attachments, then use available tools to research, organize information, create files and handle supported everyday tasks. TURN REQUESTS INTO USEFUL RESULTS • Research public sources and compare options, with sources you can inspect. • Read attachments and turn information into briefs, checklists and shareable documents. • Explore nearby places and routes, then review a calendar event or reminder before adding it. • Add instructions as you go and keep results, files and action receipts in the same conversation. CONTEXT THAT CARRIES FORWARD Long-term memory helps retain your stated preferences and verified task experience for future tasks. Review and manage memory, revisit conversation history and export local data. SPEAK WHEN IT HELPS Dictate, check the editable transcript and send. Listen to answers with pause, resume and speed controls. Default system read-aloud needs no separate speech-service account. YOU APPROVE IMPORTANT ACTIONS MAgent uses available device capabilities and approved remote tools. Supported external writes show their details for approval and retain result evidence. Results depend on your model, available tools and third-party services. MAgent does not offer unrestricted control of other apps or guarantee purchases and bookings. GET STARTED WITH YOUR OWN MODEL SERVICE Both Free and Pro require your own model-service account and API key (Bring Your Own Key, or BYOK). 1. Register on a model provider's official developer platform or an AI aggregation platform and enable a compatible HTTPS API. Tool tasks require a model with tool calling. 2. Get the Base URL (API base address) from its connection guide and create an API Key in its key-management page. Keep any required path, such as /v1. An API key is an access credential, not your login password. 3. In MAgent, open Capabilities > Model settings. Enter the HTTPS base URL and API key, review the service domain and data-sharing notice, consent, then tap Save and fetch models. Select a model and test the connection. 4. Open Agent and describe your goal and the result you need. Add relevant attachments as needed. With your consent, relevant task data is sent to your chosen provider. Model usage is billed separately. Optional speech, media and remote-tool services may require separate accounts and fees. Keep API keys private. START FREE. DO MORE WITH PRO. Free includes 30 new task conversations per calendar month and up to two approved remote tools. Follow-ups in the same conversation do not count again. Pro removes the app's monthly new-task-conversation limit and supports up to ten approved remote tools. Choose a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription. Review your local price before purchase; manage or cancel in your Apple Account. Pro does not include model credits or third-party service fees. Provider usage limits still apply. Available in English and Simplified Chinese.
