Claudia is a calm, private AI assistant for your phone. She talks like a person. She remembers what you ask her to remember. She runs on the AI providers you already pay for, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and others, with no extra subscription on top. No accounts. No login. No servers holding your conversations. Your chats live on your device. What Claudia does Talk by voice or text. Tap the mic and speak, or type. Claudia replies in a natural voice or on screen, whichever you prefer. Remembers what matters. Tell Claudia a fact about yourself and she keeps it in on-device memory. She recalls it later, even in a new conversation. Everything lives in a local database on your phone. Your voice, your choice. Use the built-in iOS voice at no cost, or bring your own ElevenLabs key for premium voice quality. See it before you connect anything. A built-in demo mode runs a short sample conversation right on your device, so you can feel how Claudia works first. What makes Claudia different Bring your own AI key. No monthly Claudia subscription. Use the API key you already have with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq, Cerebras, xAI, or OpenRouter. You pay the provider directly for what you use. No middleman markup. Built for privacy. Your conversations do not pass through a Claudia server, because there is no Claudia server for them to pass through. The app talks directly to the AI provider you choose, and only after you give explicit consent for anything to leave your device. Your keys stay yours. API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain. They are never sent anywhere except the provider you picked. Nothing tracked. Our App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected. We do not run ads and we do not sell data, because we never collect it in the first place. Built by an indie team Claudia is built by PrentusAI, a small, independent shop. You bring your own AI key, the app stays out of your way, and that is the whole deal. Privacy policy and full terms at prentusai.com/claudia. Requires an API key from a supported AI provider. iPhone only.

Need a monogram for a wedding, a gift, a vinyl decal or an embroidery project? Monogrify turns your initials into a clean monogram and exports it as a high-resolution PNG and an SVG with vector letter outlines — ready for cutting machines, print and design apps. Type 1–3 letters, pick a font, a frame and an ink color, and watch the live preview. Tap Export PNG + SVG and share either file. • 1, 2 OR 3 LETTERS — initials are capitalized automatically and set side by side, centered and sized to fit. • FOUR FONT STYLES — Classic serif, Script, Modern sans-serif and Slab serif. • FIVE FRAME OPTIONS — none, circle, square, diamond or a double circle. • ANY INK COLOR — choose the color with the system color picker. • PNG WITH TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND — 2048 × 2048 pixels, so it drops cleanly onto mugs, shirts, stickers and invitations. • SVG WITH VECTOR OUTLINES — the letters are real path outlines, not live text, so the file opens the same everywhere and scales to any size. Frames are included as outlined strokes. Honest scope: letters sit on one line in the same size — there is no stacked or large-centre-letter layout. Monogrify makes the artwork file; it does not connect to or control a cutting machine. Everything is made on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. The PNG is free and unlimited. The SVG cut file comes with a one-time $4.99 purchase. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
