Local Notes
by localhost/AI
Write, organize, and think — then talk to an AI that has read your notes and only your notes. No account, no cloud, nothing leaves the device.

Announced but not yet on the stores. Links will be added here when it ships.
The premise of Local Notes is that a notes app is the most intimate software most people run, and that this ought to have consequences for where it stores things. Notes are where half-formed ideas go, where you write the thing you are not ready to say. A notes app that syncs to a server is a notes app that has made a copy of that.
Local Notes keeps the notes on the device and runs the model there too. You can ask it about what you have written — find the thread where I worked out the pricing, what did I decide about the move — and it searches your own writing rather than a general index of the world. The mechanism is embeddings computed on the phone and retrieval against those embeddings, so the model gets your notes as context and never sends them anywhere to get them.
There is voice capture, transcribed locally. The recording does not leave the device to become text.
What it uses
Text generation for conversation, embeddings and retrieval for searching your own writing, and on-device transcription for voice notes.
