I ran an LLM on iOS to build another privacy focused notes app

I've been using Apple Notes and Google Keep for years. I'm a big fan of the simplicity and ease of use. But most of the time, I always forget the keywords to search for a specific note. This project was started as an R&D to see if I can run a language model on a device to make it simple and easier to capture my messy thoughts, voices, tasks, scans, reminders and organize (because I'm a lazy a$$, can't even want to add a title) them in a way that I can easily search for them later. What I wanted to do was dump my thoughts so that it would be easier to retrieve.

I wanted to make it minimal and maximize the privacy and the robustness. After using my app for a few weeks, I believe it would be a good fit for anyone looking for a similar experience.

With this, you can:

- Create notes (on-device LLM will take care of categorizing, tagging, and generating a title)

- Text embeddings based on your notes for semantic search

- OCR for quick scan and extract contents

- Voice capture

- Add tasks and reminders

This is an open-source project, and I'm planning to share the TestFlight link. If you're interested in contributing or joining as a beta tester, please leave a comment.

Thanks for checking this out, good day.
