Hi everyone, David here 👋
A few weeks ago I joined an Apple Developer session about Foundation Models, the locally running Apple LLM. Good session and I like the idea of local AI because it is private and free.
What started as an exploratory project to learn more about Foundation Models turned out to be a lot of fun and quickly escalated into a full product development mode.
Here’s why:
I save tons of links but never organize them properly. Bookmarks just pile up in random places, and finding anything later is a pain. I knew AI could help with categorization and tagging, but I don’t like the idea of sending all my browsing data to some company’s servers.
So I built Gempod – a bookmark manager where the AI runs entirely on your device. Drop a link, and it automatically suggests categories, tags, and a summary—all processed locally using Apple Intelligence. Your bookmarks sync via your own iCloud, never touching my servers.
What you get:
💎 On-device AI categorization and tagging
🔒 Private by design—your data, your iCloud
📱 Works on iOS, iPad, and Mac
🆓 Completely free, no subscriptions
🌓 Beautiful minimal interface with dark mode
I built this solo over the past few weeks, and I think it’s not too shabby. Would love to hear what you think.
Happy to answer any questions
