On-device AI is taking center stage in indie iOS/macOS apps. SourceAI filters news offline with privacy options using Apple Intelligence on-device [1]. Timix v25.10.10 adds TimixAI on iOS 26 and macOS [2]. UpRes adds AI-powered Auto Reframe and AI Lip Sync across Apple devices [3].
SourceAI on-device UX uses Apple Intelligence on-device to prioritize and summarize stories, offering Minimal, Filtered, or Unfiltered modes. You can read offline and stay private. Free with optional subscription.
Timix v25.10.10 adds TimixAI on iOS 26 and macOS 26, plus 13 unique triggers including an Alarm trigger and a None button to disable all triggers [2]. macOS 26 updates bring stability and improvements as TimixAI arrives on desktop [4].
UpRes expanded with Auto Reframe (horizontal to vertical while keeping the subject centered) and AI Lip Sync (turns stills into talking clips), plus a "Separate Music" feature to split tracks. It’s 100% free and works on iPhone, iPad, and macOS [3].
Indie developers are proving on-device AI can power useful tools without cloud talk.
