Show HN: Russet – Private AI companion using Apple's on-device foundation model
apps.apple.comI built Russet, a chat app that uses Apple's foundation model (the same one powering Apple Intelligence) to run completely on-device.
Everything is private and offline. No internet needed, no account, no tracking. Your conversations never leave your iPhone/iPad/Mac.
Features:
- Privacy-first: Your data (prompts & responses) never leaves your device
- Uses Apple's foundation model sitting at the core of Apple Intelligence
- All processing happens locally on-device
Why "Russet"? Named after the humble potato because it's resilient and self-contained. After all, what good is intelligence without access?
Feedback welcome!
