MANTIS is a fully on-device Android AI agent. Give it a plain-language task — it takes over your phone, completes it autonomously, and you watch it happen live. Most "AI assistants" on Android are chatbots. MANTIS is different — it operates your phone . You type: "Send a WhatsApp message to Mom saying I'll be home at 7" MANTIS opens WhatsApp, finds the conversation, types the message, and hits Send. You watch every step happen live on screen. No backend server. No user accounts. No analytics. No data leaves your device except the task you send to your chosen LLM provider.

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
