AI on the edge is moving from cloud chatter to on-device conversations. Three new discussions spotlight privacy-first experiences across the Apple ecosystem: Wrist AI Voice Assistant on the Apple Watch, ThunDroid AI on iPhone, and Itemtopia for offline, AI-powered home inventories.[1]
With Wrist AI Voice Assistant, you get a watch-focused interface: faster replies, quick voice commands, and watch complications for instant access. Pricing is $4.99/week, $14.99/month or $89.99/year (free trial available). This is v1, with ideas for improvement to come.[1]
ThunDroid AI offers a 24/7 on-device companion to talk through thoughts in private. Every conversation is end-to-end encrypted and stored exclusively on iPhone. It’s available with a 3-day free trial, then $12.99 monthly for unlimited AI conversations.[2]
Itemtopia brings built-in AI to an AI-powered home inventory platform that handles receipts, warranties, and maintenance. It runs across mobile, tablet, and desktop with encrypted data and full synchronization, and it saves AI answers inside each item record, even offline. Free to use for a small item set; Premium Features unlock more items or locations with pricing depending on features.[3]
Together, these stories show a trend: privacy-first, on-device AI is reshaping Mac and iOS apps—from wearables to home inventory—without surrendering control over data.
