- Who it helps
- People evaluating a phone assistant with inspectable tool boundaries.
- Availability
- Public AGPL-3.0 source; the maker says the iOS app is available and personal use is free, with optional paid cloud and commercial services.
Actions with boundaries
The README describes calendar, reminder and other integrations, with confirmation before changes. It has no general shell or virtual desktop. These are documented design claims; permission behavior was not tested.
Local data and inference choices
The maker says chats, memories and settings stay on the device. Inference can use an on-device model, European cloud service or another selected provider, so local storage does not establish entirely offline processing.
What you can do
- Check which inference provider and app permissions are enabled before using personal data. Open reference ↗
Where the evidence stops
No installation, privacy inspection or task executed. Build instructions require the iOS 26 SDK; this alone does not establish the minimum OS version for the distributed app.
Sources read. Public source text read November 10, 2026 UTC. No third-party project, model inference or complete workflow executed.
