So I built a simple app that aims to solve this with 4 core features:</p> <ul> <li>Auto-naming notes</li> <li>Auto grouping into clouds </li> <li>Auto cloud grouping </li> <li>Ask anything about your notes </li> </ul> <p>Built with SwiftUI + SwiftData, and powered by Apple’s on-device Foundations Model <strong>(requires a device with Apple Intelligence)</strong>. The AI runs entirely on your device — no third-party servers, no data harvesting. Your notes sync across your devices via iCloud, so they stay in your Apple ecosystem and nowhere else (works offline too).</p> <p>Available for free on the App Store! Let me know the good, bad, and ugly. I’m all ears.</p> <div class="crayons-card c-embed text-styles text-styles--secondary"> <div class="c-embed__content"> <div class="c-embed__cover"> <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fog/id6760272134" class="c-link align-middle" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img alt="" src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fis1-ssl.mzstatic.com%2Fimage%2Fthumb%2FPurpleSource221%2Fv4%2F08%2Fda%2F9b%2F08da9b27-f634-e341-aff1-af824d142342%2FPlaceholder.mill%2F1200x630wa.jpg" height="420" class="m-0" width="800"> </a> </div> <div class="c-embed__body"> <h2 class="fs-xl lh-tight"> <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fog/id6760272134" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link"> ‎Fog App - App Store </a> </h2> <p class="truncate-at-3"> Download Fog by Akshat Saladi on the App Store.
