We're building Manex for iPhone: capture photos, voice journals, notes, scans, and PDFs into private on-device memory you can search later with a local LLM.

Local First Document AI matters because personal context is increasingly spread across photos, notes, PDFs, screenshots, voice memos, and quick observations. A mobile-first memory app should make that context searchable without turning every private detail into a cloud workflow.
That is the mobile direction for Manex: not another dashboard, but a private memory layer that starts where people already capture life and work, on their phone.
A practical iPhone workflow
- Capture the note, document, screenshot, photo, or voice journal on iPhone.
- Let the app extract useful text and context into a private local memory.
- Ask the on-device LLM questions grounded in what you saved.
- Correct or refine important answers so the memory becomes more useful over time.
- Return later and search by meaning, not just by exact filename or keyword.
Local First Document AI works best when the phone becomes the private capture surface and the LLM stays close to the user's own context.
How Manex fits
Manex is being built as a private iOS memory app for photos, voice journals, notes, PDFs, and everyday context. The goal is simple: capture what matters on your phone and search it later with an on-device LLM.
The B2B document workflows still matter for teams, but this guide is framed around the mobile app: personal capture, private memory, and on-device AI that helps you find your own context again.
