Mneme AI

Mneme AI - Local AI Notes is a note-taking app for iPhone and iPad with a built-in AI assistant that answers questions from the user's own notes, documents and books. The assistant runs entirely offline and locally on the device. Mneme AI is published by Marc Tarnutzer, sits in the Productivity category, and is meant for people who want to store and query personal knowledge without sending it to a server.

Users write text notes in the built-in editor, add existing PDF documents, or save websites straight from their web browser through a share extension. All notes are stored locally on the device and become knowledge for the personal AI assistant. When the user asks a question, Mneme AI replies with information drawn from those notes and lists the notes it used, so the answer can be checked and the source read in more depth.

The Mneme AI assistant supports English only, and an iPhone 14 or newer is recommended for its performance. The app requires iOS 17.0 or later, or iPadOS 17.0 or later, on a device with the A12 Bionic chip or later, and the download is 1.9 GB. The developer states that no data is collected from the app. Mneme AI is free to download, with subscriptions at $3.99 monthly or $39.99 annually.

Use cases

• Asking questions about websites saved from the browser instead of digging through bookmarks
