- iPhone users seeking an offline app assistant
- Worth noticing
- The page says Gmail and web search need a connection; Gmail calls Google directly, while web search is capped at 100 requests a day.
Field notes
The page lays out a local agent loop: it rebuilds context from memory, todos and calendar, asks the on-device model to choose a tool, then validates and records the call. It says calendar, reminders, files and scans work offline, while Gmail and web search need a connection; email is shown waiting for approval before sending. The listed model sizes run from 0.8B to 9B, with larger models requiring user approval to load.
