Description
Foqos is an AI notebook for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Ask questions across your notes with source citations, understand images, rewrite text and transcribe audio with on-device models. Turn ideas into mind maps, explore connections in a knowledge map, and write with Markdown and LaTeX. Download models once to use local AI offline; web research and iCloud sync need internet. Start free, with optional Pro for higher limits and advanced tools.

Could you build this?
Partial While note-taking UIs and canvas components are standard, deploying multi-modal local SLMs and embedding engines performantly across iOS/macOS with low memory footprints requires specialized CoreML/Metal optimization.
What it would actually take: The frontend is built with Swift/SwiftUI and Metal/PencilKit for note taking, mind mapping, and LaTeX rendering. The challenging part is the local AI engine: quantizing LLMs (GGUF/CoreML/MLX) to run efficiently within tight iOS RAM limits, running local embedding models for vector search across notes, and running on-device Whisper models for audio transcription without thermal throttling or memory eviction. Achieving production stability on mobile requires expertise in on-device machine learning inference and Apple platform resource management.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
