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.

Studying happens across lecture slides, notes, PDFs, screenshots, voice memos, rubrics, and deadline reminders. Manex frames all of that as private study memory on iPhone.
For lecture revision, the useful detail is often small and immediate. It may be a photo, a note, a screenshot, a PDF, or a sentence you say into your phone. The point is not to create a heavy knowledge system. The point is to make personal context easy to recover later.
A practical iPhone workflow
- Capture study plans as soon as it appears, before the detail gets buried in camera roll or chat history.
- Add a quick voice journal about what mattered, what changed, or what you want to remember later.
- Ask the local LLM to find, summarize, or compare your own saved context instead of giving a generic answer.
- Correct the answer when the app misses nuance so the memory becomes more personal over time.
Lecture Revision Study Plans on iPhone is a natural fit for a private iOS memory app when the capture starts on your phone and the recall stays grounded in your own saved material.
What the local LLM should help with
The local model should help you explain hard concepts without forcing every private detail into a public or team workspace. That means the app needs fast capture, source-linked memory, and answers that point back to the note, photo, scan, or journal entry they came from.
How Manex fits
Manex is being built as a private on-device memory app for iPhone. Across travel, study, hobbies, family, field notes, and everyday work, the same pattern matters: capture the moment, keep it private, and ask a local LLM to help you find it again.
