excited to share what we have been up to.

your iphone’s home screen hasn’t changed in ~20 years. it’s the same static grid of icons since launch with zero awareness of your actual life.

@skye is a new agentic home screen for iphone.

no telegram. no mac mini. & no claws required. skye is ambient intelligence that just works.

it continuously listens to your context & acts on it. it builds your reading lists, gives you personalized weather, drafts email replies, prepares you for meetings & trips, flags suspicious charges, works through your reminders, tracks your health, & gives you one tap intel on wherever you are (restaurants, museums, neighborhoods, etc).

all surfaced on your home screen.

over the next few posts i’ll break down how it works, why we built it, & why we think it deserves to exist in the world.

beta starts today. if you’re on the list, you’ll get access very soon. app store shortly after. deeply appreciate you all following along on this fun little journey. also please join our discord !

Jony Ive on what Steve Jobs taught him about focus:

“This sounds really simplistic but it still shocks me how few people actually practice this.

It’s a struggle to practice this.

Steve was the most remarkably focused person I ever met in my life.

Focus is not something you aspire to.

You don’t decide on Monday “I’m going to be focused.”

It’s an every minute “Why are we talking about that?”

*This* is what we are working on.

You can achieve so much when you truly focus.

One of the things Steve would say [to me] because he was worried I wasn’t focused — he would say how many things have you said no to?

I would tell him I said no to this. And I said no to that.

But he knew I wasn’t interested in doing those things.

There was no *sacrifice* in saying no.

What focus means is saying no to something that with every bone in your body you think is a phenomenal idea, you wake up thinking about it, but you say no to it because you are focusing on something else.”

You can achieve so much when you truly focus.

Life is a series of challenges, but it's how we approach them that makes all the difference. Embrace them as opportunities for personal growth and transformation. Each hurdle we overcome teaches us something new about ourselves, making us stronger and more resilient. 🌊
