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 🧵
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
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.
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.
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.
most "private" apps just promise not to look at your data in their terms of service.
that's a pinky swear, not privacy.
aira runs the AI on your phone. there is no server. your data can't leak because it never leaves.
the weird part is what's missing. there's no server. no account to create. no audio ever leaves your phone.
not because we promise not to look at it. because there's literally nowhere for it to go.
we're launching soon. gonna share the whole process here. real numbers, real tradeoffs, stuff that went wrong.
if any of this sounds interesting, stick around.
