About

PrivateAssistant

Features
Read full description

PrivateAssistant is a caring AI companion that lives entirely on your iPhone β€” voice calls, everyday chat, and a long-term memory. The model runs fully on device: not a single word of your conversations is uploaded. TALK LIKE A PHONE CALL Full-duplex voice conversations β€” she listens while thinking and you can interrupt anytime. Language is detected automatically, replies are spoken sentence by sentence, and the avatar's lips sync with the voice. FULLY ON-DEVICE Built-in Gemma 4 and Apple's on-device model keep the conversation going even offline. No servers, no accounts β€” chat history lives only in your device's local database. Optionally plug in your own cloud API keys (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Ollama); keys are stored in the system keychain. SHE REMEMBERS Say "remember…" and she won't forget. Things worth keeping from everyday chats are saved automatically and carried into every future conversation. KNOWLEDGE BASE Import recipes, procedures and notes (txt / md / pdf). When you ask, she retrieves the most relevant content and answers from it. TOOLS Weather, flights, web search, navigation, ride-hailing β€” things get done while you chat. Every tool can be toggled individually. ROLES Girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband, dad, mom, assistant… each role has its own name, personality and avatar. Roles export as JSON to share between devices. MAKE HER TRULY YOURS Export your chats for LoRA fine-tuning and bake her way of speaking into the model β€” a version that belongs to just the two of you. PRO The free tier includes 20 conversations a day (text + voice). Pro unlocks unlimited conversations, available as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. PRIVACY No backend servers: replies are generated on device, history stays in the local database, API keys stay in the system keychain. We can't read your conversations β€” they never leave your device.
