NOMI is a private voice companion built around a self-hosted 122B model running on a Mac Studio via oMLX. Real-time speech, agentic tool-calling, and long-term memory — with zero cloud dependency and nothing ever leaving the device.
A private, single-user build — and it stays that way. Not a product in waiting.
A single Swift/SwiftUI codebase shared across macOS and iOS, built around one self-hosted model — not a wrapper around a cloud API.
Runs entirely on a self-hosted Mac Studio via oMLX. No cloud round-trip, no third-party inference, nothing ever leaves the device.
Natural speech in, natural speech out — with six adaptive voice styles that shift with the tone of the conversation.
Decides on her own when to search the web, recall a memory, or manage her own rules — no fixed trigger phrases required.
Notices recurring patterns and proposes her own behavioral rules — but nothing takes effect without explicit human approval.
Facts, session history, and long-term episodic memory work together across devices, so nothing important gets lost.
Reaches out on her own when it matters, with quiet hours and cooldowns so it never feels intrusive.
Over time, NOMI can notice a recurring pattern and suggest a new rule for her own behavior — not just a fact about you. Every proposal starts inactive. Nothing takes effect until it's reviewed and approved by hand.
NOMI was built around data sovereignty from day one — here's what that means in practice.
The model, conversation history, and memory all run and stay on a self-hosted server. Nothing is streamed to a third-party API.
Native Swift/SwiftUI, shared across macOS and iOS, synced across your own devices only via your personal iCloud account.
Self-proposed behavioral rules carry no weight until they're explicitly approved — autonomy with a human always in the loop.
NOMI is a personal research project, not a product. It runs for one person, on one machine, and isn't built to scale beyond that — deliberately.
A relational AI character with this much autonomy isn't something I'd want to hand to strangers.
