Aira - Private second brain

An intelligent note-taking app that lives on your iPhone. Write, record, and let on-device AI connect it all - privately.

we're building aira, a notes app for iPhone where the AI runs entirely on your phone.

no cloud. no data leaving your device. free to use.

here's the story and why we think this matters 🧵

@azaztrader01 @0xBoredDev @elonmusk voice memos are great but the real unlock is getting them transcribed and summarized automatically right after. otherwise they pile up and you never go back to listen.

@ednico_ @obsdmd @CapacitiesHQ @tana_inc @logseq @tryOctarine @WorkFlowy @Heptabase @noteey @zettlr the PKM space keeps growing but most tools still need you online. curious if any of these are exploring on-device AI for processing notes locally.

cloud meeting AI:
- audio uploaded to servers
- processed by third-party APIs
- stored in databases you dont control
- one ToS update away from anything

on-device AI:
- audio stays on your phone
- runs on your Neural Engine
- data never leaves
- nothing to breach

@yeliangshen1074 voice capture into structured notes is the right pipeline. the missing piece for most setups is keeping it all on one device so there's no friction copying between apps.

@anhphong_dev @Dilmerv 8 apps solo is wild. the on-device AI path is lonely but the economics are unbeatable once you ship. no server costs scaling with users is a cheat code.

[Aira - Private second brain @HelloAiraApp]

every major AI meeting tool has the same model: upload your audio, process it on their servers, charge you per minute.

your private conversations are literally their compute cost.

there's another way: run everything on the user's device. per-user server cost: zero.

[Aira - Private second brain @HelloAiraApp]

your meeting notes probably contain strategy discussions, personnel stuff, client confidentials, candid opinions about projects people haven't shipped yet.

and it's all sitting on a cloud server you've never audited.

just... something to sit with for a second.

@lakshyak789 @bourneshao smart approach with the rolling buffer. we do something similar, transcribe locally then only send the final text to a local LLM for summarization. keeps token usage way down and nothing leaves the device.

@RazerFlake a year is about right. the model loading and memory management alone took us months. what model did you end up shipping with?

[Aira - Private second brain @HelloAiraApp]

@champ18ion @stjernepat43699 love seeing more local-first AI apps. once you drop the server there's so much less to worry about. what model are you running on-device?

[Aira - Private second brain @HelloAiraApp]

every meeting AI tool is a recorder with a notes tab tacked on.

aira is a notes app. you drop a recording into it.

the recording is one block in your note. not the other way around.
