local-ai-notes turns your notes into a structured knowledge system that organizes itself.

KEY FEATURES - Automatic Semantic Clustering Notes group themselves by topic using on-device embeddings. No manual folders, no manual tagging. - Slash Commands /remind for reminders, /ask to query your notes, /calendar for events, /tag for tags, /lock for biometric protection. - Voice Input Speak naturally — local speech recognition transcribes and routes your input to the right action. - Knowledge Graph See how your notes connect. Force-directed visualization of semantic relationships. - Smart Mode (Optional) Download an on-device AI model (Gemma 3 or LFM2.5) for natural language answers grounded in your notes. PRIVACY-FIRST Everything runs on your device. We don't have servers. We don't track. We don't analyze. We can't see your notes — even if we wanted to. Your data is encrypted at rest, biometrically locked, and never leaves your iPhone. REQUIREMENTS - iOS 17 or later - iPhone XS or newer recommended - Smart Mode requires additional 1-3 GB free storage

Solmari is a private AI assistant that runs entirely on your iPhone. Ask questions, write and edit, brainstorm, get coding help, or just chat — all without an internet connection, and without your words ever leaving your device. No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Nothing is sent to a server, because there is no server. Your conversations stay on your phone, always. WHY SOLMARI • 100% Private — Everything happens on-device. Your chats, questions, and documents never leave your iPhone. • Works Offline — No Wi-Fi, no signal, no problem. Use Solmari on a plane, on the subway, or anywhere at all. • Free — No paywalls, no subscriptions, no locked features. • On-device intelligence — Uses your iPhone's built-in intelligence where available, with a bundled model so it works on its own. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Chat naturally — Ask anything and get thoughtful answers in seconds. • Write & edit — Draft messages, emails, and posts, then polish tone and grammar. • Code — Get clean, idiomatic code with clear explanations. • Brainstorm — Generate ideas, names, plans, and outlines fast. • Learn — A patient tutor that explains things step by step. • Chat with your documents — Import a text file and ask questions about it, fully on-device. • Voice input — Speak instead of type, transcribed privately on your phone. ONE-TAP PERSONAS Switch between Assistant, Tutor, Coder, Editor, and Brainstorm modes to instantly steer how Solmari responds. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Most AI apps send everything you type to the cloud. Solmari doesn't. The AI lives on your device, so your most personal questions, drafts, and ideas stay yours — by design, not by promise. Note: On first launch, devices without built-in AI download a one-time on-device model so Solmari can run fully offline afterward. We'll notify you when it's ready. Download Solmari and experience AI that's truly yours — private, offline, and free.
