Weaknesses

Post Description

I'm flabbergasted that people share their most sensitive messages with companion AI apps. Read their privacy policies. They can read your messages. They also have your email. That combination is a serious security threat.

Replika was just fined €5M in Italy over exactly this.

Yes, this is something I built. All inference runs on-device, no account, no chat data leaves your phone.

Happy to defend every claim.

Zero – offline, privacy-first expense tracker
