About Sovereign: Private AI Notes
Sovereign is a personal assistant that keeps your life on your phone. Notes, tasks, journal entries, passwords, secrets and API keys live in one encrypted vault on the device. The AI that reads them runs there too. No prompt leaves your iPhone, no server sees your content, and there is no account to create before you can start writing. What you can keep in it Write notes as plain text, checklists or markdown. Capture a task by typing it, speaking it, or letting the app pull it out of something you already wrote. Keep a daily journal with a mood and a photo. Store passwords, API keys, recovery secrets and social logins in fields shaped for each kind, so a password looks like a password and an API key keeps its environment. An assistant that stays on the device A language model on your iPhone writes your daily briefing, suggests what a note means for your week, turns a rambling voice memo into a journal entry, and answers questions about what you have written. Ask it anything about your own vault and the answer is worked out locally. Growth, with evidence Name something you want to get better at. Sovereign watches what you capture and links the notes, tasks and entries that actually served it, so progress is something you can read back rather than something you log by hand. Add habits under a skill, give each one a cadence, and tick them off as you go. Birthdays Add the people you keep meaning to remember. A reminder arrives the day before and again on the morning, with the name, the age and the photo. Encryption you do not have to trust us about Every record is sealed on the device with a key held in the Secure Enclave. Turn on iCloud sync and only ciphertext crosses the wire, so Apple stores bytes that only your key opens. Lock the app behind Face ID. Export everything at any time. Delete everything at any time, including the key. What it does not do No analytics. No advertising identifiers. No tracking pixels. Nothing is sold, because there is nothing readable to sell. Pro Inbox triage, reflective conversations, your skill coach and asking questions of your own notes are part of Pro. Everything else, including the vault, the journal and the encryption, works without paying. Privacy policy: https://www.sovereignapp.online/privacy Terms: https://www.sovereignapp.online/terms
What’s new
Version 1.1.2 · Updated October 18, 2026
A coach for every skill Open a skill and tap Coach. It reads up to twenty of your own notes, tasks and journal entries from the last fortnight before it says anything, so you get a question about your actual week instead of advice about goal setting. It runs on the phone. Nothing is sent anywhere. Habits that count Each skill now holds habits with their own cadence and target. Tick one off as you do it and the count tracks the period, daily or weekly. Habits from the old version are back where they belong instead of showing as empty brackets. Birthdays A new tab for the people you keep meaning to remember. You get a reminder the day before and again on the morning, carrying their name, how old they turn and their photo. Photos are cropped by you and encrypted on the device like everything else. Smaller things Finished tasks now say when you finished them. Evidence for a skill can be found in what you already wrote, not just in what you write next. The tab bar lost the stray second back button. The app wears the blue from its own icon.
