A private AI assistant for writers

PRIVATE IN PRIVATE MODE · $799 ONCE · SEPTEMBER 2026

Unpublished work is the most private thing a writer has. PHNTM One is an assistant that runs on the device on your desk, so in Private mode your drafts, notes and research never leave the house.

How writers use it

  • Ask your own material. Drop in a PDF or a text file from your phone or computer, then ask about it. Answers cite the exact file and page.
  • It remembers your projects. Characters, deadlines, decisions: say "remember that…" and it's saved instantly. Correct it and it updates.
  • Drafts and summaries, from a model that's capable, not magic. It will sometimes be wrong, and it always shows which brain answered.
  • Dictate, don't type. Type a thought or record clips of up to 60 seconds in Notes. Review the transcript, then choose Clean up, Develop idea, or Project checkpoint. Originals are saved separately from AI drafts; processing stays local in every mode. Suggestions need your review.
  • Hear it back. It reads your drafts and notes aloud in its own on-device voice, which is a good way to catch a clumsy sentence.
  • Check a fact without a browser tab. Planned · not release-verified Planned 1.0 capability, not yet release-verified: local Wikipedia and reference packs with source-linked answers. The current local model can answer general questions, but that is separate from a reference library.
  • Reminders and open loops for the edits you're waiting on and the pitches you haven't sent.

Honest limits

It's slower and less clever than the big cloud models: a short answer usually takes tens of seconds. For a hard task you can switch on Boosted mode with your own key, but then that question leaves the box, and the answer is labelled so you know.

Questions

Does my writing leave the device?
Not in Private mode, which is the default. Documents you add are read and indexed on the device. Only if you turn on Boosted or Autonomous mode does a question, and the excerpts pulled in as context, go to Anthropic, on your own key.
What files can I add?
PDF, text and Markdown, plus photos and scanned pages (it reads the text on the device), sent from any phone or computer on your home network with PHNTM Drop.
