Native Swift + Local AI 🧠📱

Yesterday I showed my web stack, but today we go down to the metal. After my 9-to-6 job, I spent the night researching—and I managed to run Whisper (OpenAI’s AI) directly on my iPhone’s chip.

Why? Because I’m tired of the "Cloud Tax."

Most AI tools force you to:
Pay a monthly subscription.
Send your private audio to their servers.
Have a stable internet connection.

I broke that cycle.

✅ Airplane Mode (No WiFi/Data).
✅ Total Privacy (Nothing leaves the device).
✅ Instant Translation (Spanish → English).

0 APIs. 0 Subscriptions. Pure on-device processing.

Who else is fed up with paying to have their privacy compromised? Drop a “ME” if you’d use this for your meetings, studies, or private workflows!
