local-ai-notes turns your notes into a structured knowledge system that organizes itself. Type anything — your notes are automatically clustered by meaning using machine learning that runs entirely on your iPhone. No cloud, no API calls, no tracking. 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
Choice Helper

Choice Helper helps you choose the best option when there are more than two alternatives. Add photos, texts, ideas, or decisions with pros and cons, and the app will run a series of pairwise comparisons to reveal the most stable result. You do not have to rate everything at once or keep dozens of options in your head. At each step, you answer one simple question: which of these two is better? After each answer, Choice Helper refines its model of your preferences, selects the next most useful pair, and stops when it has enough data. Use it when you need to choose: • the best photo, screenshot, gift, or visual reference; • a name, headline, wording, idea, or piece of text; • a purchase, trip, plan, project, or another decision with arguments. Features: • 3 modes: images, texts, pros and cons; • start with 4 or more options; • adjustable depth: faster or more precise; • “I can’t choose” button for difficult pairs; • undo the last answer; • result with the leader’s chance, gap from #2, and nearest alternatives; • warning when options are close or answers contradict each other. Choice Helper is built for personal decisions where a simple pros-and-cons list is no longer enough. You just compare two at a time, and the app turns your answers into a clear picture. Privacy is built into the core of the app. Choices, images, texts, arguments, and results are stored on your device. Core workflows work offline. No account, subscriptions, ads, third-party analytics, or server-side processing of user data.
