Dottie
Private AI Journal
In plain words
Dottie is a private AI journal for iOS that helps users reflect on their thoughts and experiences. All data is stored on the user's device for privacy. The app offers multiple AI language model options: Apple Intelligence keeps everything local, while ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude run in the cloud but don't store data or use it for training purposes. It's designed for anyone seeking a journaling tool with privacy-focused AI assistance.

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15).

The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
