Your model. Your rules. Nabuchodonosor is a private chat interface that connects to the AI engine you choose: Ollama on your local network or Tailscale, or an OpenAI-compatible API available over HTTPS. FREE AT THE APP LAYER The app sends your requests to the model without rewriting, moderating, or adding refusals. Final behavior remains that of the model and provider you choose. EPHEMERAL BY DEFAULT Messages stay in memory only. No history is written to your iPhone. Background clearing is enabled by default. Recent context is off by default; if enabled, it remains limited to this session and 12,000 characters. BRING YOUR OWN MODEL Enter any model name, use an Ollama token provided by the Mac app, or add a key for your compatible server. Secrets are protected in this iPhoneβs Keychain and are not synchronized. VERIFIABLE PRIVACY No Nabuchodonosor account. No analytics, telemetry, uploaded crash reports, or cloud sync. The network session uses no caches or cookies. Important: every request is sent to the engine you configure. If you choose a remote service, its retention practices and restrictions depend on that provider, not Nabuchodonosor.

Boreal Markdown is a focused iOS document tool for people who already keep notes, drafts, specs, and reports in plain Markdown files. Open a .md or .markdown file from Files, read the rendered preview, edit the source, then save intentionally or export a clean PDF. Boreal Markdown is built around the small document loop, not a new notes database or cloud workspace. Included for everyone: - Open Markdown and plain text files through iOS file access - Read a rendered Markdown preview with clear document typography - Switch between preview and source editing - Apply headings, bold, italic, links, lists, and code to the cursor or selected text - See saved and unsaved states near the document title - Choose Save, Discard, or Cancel before leaving a document with unsaved edits - Save changes back to the opened file when iOS file access allows it - Export the rendered document as a PDF with paper, theme, text size, and title options - Share the PDF or save it back to Files - Persist appearance, accent, editor text, and PDF defaults between launches Boreal Pro is an optional one-time purchase. It unlocks: - Document outline navigation - Find and replace - Markdown cleanup - Split editing and preview on supported layouts - Advanced PDF themes, margins, table of contents, page numbers, headers, footers, and reusable presets Boreal Markdown is local-first. There is no account, subscription, hosted sync service, AI processing, backend document storage, or collaboration system. Use Boreal Markdown when you want a quiet iPhone and iPad workbench for opening, editing, saving, and sharing Markdown files as PDFs.
