Hey, I'm Dmitriy from Littlebird. For your use case, would you want the underlying LLM to be local as well, so that your data doesn't get sent to the "big dog" LLM providers? It's an important consideration because it wouldn't be nearly as smart then - though I totally understand if that's the only way it could work for you.

We are SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliant btw.

Same here. While this looks like it would be beneficial , soon as I saw that all data gets sent to the cloud, It was a blocker.

I have another app that tracks all my usage (time ) at an application. Window level, but I purchased it because it saves locally.

I'm not the OP but I came here to voice the same concern. I would love to use something like this. I also signed up for rewind.ai and Limitless and pre-ordered the pendant. But ultimately I cancelled it out of privacy concerns.

I wonder if it could be local storage and you could provide your own Open Router endpoint? That way it could be a local model or your own deployment of GPT/Claude in Azure/Bedrock/Vertex etc where you can control retention policies etc.

Basically, I want to know that you guys don't have access to view my stuff. I get that that limits your ability to improve the product and support issues, but when I'm sending everything it really starts to matter. Just thought I'd share what held me back from immediately signing up despite really wanting to use a product like this!

Maybe you could try AirJelly, a context-aware proactive AI companion we are building recently. Data are all stored locally, on your MAC. Local LLM models would be difficult, as we also use Claude/Gemini to serve as the model provider. But as the software builder, we don't collect any user information, anything for improving our product would be sent by our users voluntarily (just send feedback in the app). If you would like to try, you could visit our website airjelly.ai.
