Your private AI. Helps you Β· Tries to remember you Β· Grows with you Why not try saving a digital copy of you (Beta) today? Avatar.gift runs a full AI entirely on your iPhone. No account. No server. Your conversations and memories stay on your device β and you can verify that: after a one-time AI download (about 2.7 GB), the app works fully offline. The only things that go online are the ones you ask for, like a web search, and you can switch those off. MEET YOUR ASSISTANTS Practical helpers for the everyday β set reminders, check your calendar, take notes, track habits, money and goals. Just say it in one sentence. They're fast, focused, and you can give each one their own personality. AND MEET YOUR SOUL (BETA) Something different lives here too: your digital copy, a companion that quietly learns who you are. Share your stories, your people, what life has taught you β just talk, or upload a diary, notes, chat screenshots or a voice note. What you share becomes their memory. They grow with you, get you a little more each week, and they're yours alone. They won't remember everything perfectly yet, but they keep getting better, and every upgrade brings your memories along. WHY PRIVATE MATTERS Most AI apps send every word you type to someone else's computer. Avatar.gift doesn't. The AI thinks on your phone's own chip. What you tell your avatar at 2am stays between you two. HONEST PRICING Free for 7 days from your first message β chat, memory and assistants all included. Then a single purchase makes it yours forever and unlocks a few extras. No subscription. No tokens. And your memories, history and exports are never locked, even if you don't buy. β’ 100% on-device AI β works offline β’ Assistants for reminders, calendar, notes, habits, money & goals β’ A digital copy of you that grows with every conversation (Beta) β’ Your data is yours: view, export or delete anytime β’ Pay once, yours forever Before life learns to live forever, who you are already can.
Rain, From Below
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lie five metres down in a freshwater lake and watch the rain arrive from underneath. Every drop writes its own ring on the surface and drags a puff of air under with it. The sky fits into a bright disc above you - that is what water does to light - and around it the surface turns to mirror. A sandy bank rises toward shore with eelgrass swaying and lily pads floating overhead. A school of small fish drifts through; larger ones cruise past; now and then a turtle, an eel or a yabby wanders by. The sound is what a hydrophone would hear: the ringing of air bubbles, shifted down to where you can hear it, thickening into a roar when the rain comes on heavy. Distant thunder in a storm, wind across the surface, a boat passing far off. Nothing here is a recording. The scene is generated live, so ten hours run without a loop, and the fish never repeat. WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE β’ Three modes: Sleep (dim, calm, quiet), Focus, Showcase β’ Time of day on a 24-hour slider, or let it follow the real clock - dawn, overcast, dusk, night with a moon that matches tonight's phase β’ Rain, hail or snow; storms with lightning and thunder β’ Waves from glass-calm to a rolling swell; four kinds of water β’ How many fish, how much eelgrass, lily pads, creatures, birds, insects β’ A timer up to ten hours or an end time, with a fade-out or a wake-into-dawn ending β’ Lock-screen play/pause; keeps playing with the screen off Made for sleeping, studying and sitting still. PRO Pro adds the reef, the river and the pool, seasons, Match the sun, the sound mixer and the night programme. It is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription (A$2.99 a month or A$19.99 a year in Australia; prices differ by country), or a one-off lifetime unlock (A$39.99). Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings.
