CIRISAgent

This is "verify me" AI โ not "trust me" AI. CIRIS Agent is a personal AI assistant where every action passes through an 11-step ethical reasoning pipeline before execution. Four independent evaluations: common sense, domain-specific, principled, and intuition, plus a four-faculty conscience validate every decision. If the system isn't sure, it escalates to you. You always have final authority. Every decision is cryptographically signed. CIRISVerify anchors your agent's identity in your device's Secure Enclave and signs actions with Ed25519 across five trust levels. The audit chain is hash-linked and tamper-evident. You can trace any reasoning chain and prove what happened. Security that gets stronger over time. The Coherence Ratchet is our attempt to make honesty compound and deception computationally expensive. Conscience thresholds are architecturally immutable, they cannot erode through repeated exposure. The framework is resistant to all known jailbreak techniques and prompt injection attacks. Your data stays yours. Core logic, memory, and audit logs run locally on your device. Choose cloud inference, local models like Gemma 4, or our zero-data-retention proxy. Three consent streams: Temporary, Partnered, or Anonymous, put you in control of what the agent learns and for how long per user (setup user is partnered by default). Full GDPR Article 15 and Article 17 support built in. Works in your language. Native reasoning in 29+ languages including Amharic, Arabic, Hindi, and Swahili โ genuine multilingual intelligence, not a translation layer. $0.10/request with our hosted proxy, or free when you bring your own API key. Same price for everyone, everywhere. Open source. Mission-locked. Built by CIRIS L3C, a low-profit LLC under AGPL-3.0. The entire stack โ agent, proxy, billing โ is open and auditable. 10 initial free interactions plus 2 free interactions per day are provided to support CIRIS L3Cs mission to demonstrate the viability of ethical AI. 30+ repositories. 1M+ lines of code. https://ciris.ai https://github.com/CIRISAI/CIRISAgent

Modrift is a lightweight client for quickly opening, reading, and lightly editing files stored in the cloud โ right from your iPhone. Not a heavy notes app: just open, read, and tweak, as fast as possible. Key features - Open Markdown files (.md / .txt / .markdown) with clean formatted rendering - Launch straight from Files or any app via "Open in Modrift" - Keep your own working home (iCloud โบ Modrift): list, create and organise files there - Switch between Home (by place) and Recent (by time) - Toggle between edit and preview with one tap - A formatting toolbar above the keyboard in edit mode โ headings, lists, checkboxes, bold and more, one tap each - Automatic saving (no manual save button) - Full-text search, and sorting by date modified or name - Turn to landscape for longer lines โ easier on long paragraphs and tables - Japanese / English interface Beyond Markdown - View images (PNG / JPEG / GIF / HEIC / WebP) with pinch to zoom โ free - View PDFs with paging and zoom โ Modrift Pro (one-time purchase) - View Word documents (.docx) formatted, with headings, lists and tables โ Modrift Pro - View Excel workbooks (.xlsx) as tables, with sheet switching โ Modrift Pro Markdown, text and images stay free. Only PDF, Word and Excel viewing is part of Modrift Pro โ a single one-time purchase, no subscription. These formats are view-only; they cannot be edited. About your home and editing - Files in your home (iCloud โบ Modrift) are editable in place, and edits sync to iCloud - Files outside your home (Dropbox / Google Drive, or iCloud Drive outside the Modrift folder) are view-only. To edit one, use "Copy to Home" and edit the copy (the original is not written back) - You can choose whether your home lives in iCloud or on this iPhone, in Settings Relationship to the Files app Modrift complements the Files app rather than replacing it. Leave general folder management to Files; Modrift focuses on formatted Markdown viewing, light editing, and tidying its own home folder. The name combines Mo (Mobile / Motion) + drift โ the idea of thoughts and files flowing freely on mobile.
