One quiet space
A minimal journal that's actually pleasant to write in. No likes, no metrics, no infinite scroll — just a calm place to think, which is where every good idea starts.

[EXPORT] Nothing sent to the cloud. Ever.Phase 01 · Capture
Write it down. Or say it out loud.
Capture is frictionless. A quick text note, a voice memo on your commute, a clip of video — all land in one private workspace designed for reflection, not distraction.
Voice & video, imported
Record in-app or drop in voice memos from the iOS Files and Share sheets. Transcripts appear automatically — transcribed on-device, so even your rawest thoughts stay yours.
Phase 02 · On-Device Intelligence
Real AI. Running on your phone.
No API keys, no cloud round-trips, no data leaving your device. A small open model (Gemma, quantized) runs locally to transcribe, summarize, and draft — entirely offline if you want.
From journal → draft, in one tap
Pick a note and let the on-device model draft social posts, extract tasks, or draft longer pieces from your raw reflections. Keep what fits, edit what's close, discard the rest. You stay the author.
- Short posts distilled from your journal entries
- Tasks extracted from what you actually wrote
- Longer drafts for when a thought deserves room
Private by construction
Inference happens in-process via on-device runtimes. The model never sees anyone else's data and nothing is logged to a server. Privacy isn't a setting here — it's the architecture.
- Optional cloud providers, off by default
- Your most personal data never leaves the device
- Open model weights you can inspect
Phase 03 · Curation
A feed tuned to your mind
Your notes quietly build a picture of what you actually care about. SlowClaw ranks open social sources — Bluesky, Nostr, RSS — against your real interests instead of raw engagement.
Your interest vectors
Your private notes vectorize into a representation of what you genuinely care about — so the feed reflects your values, not your clicks.
Open social inputs
Bring in Bluesky and Nostr, then rank them against your own artifact history — open protocols first, no closed-platform lock-in.
Publish when you're ready
A draft you like becomes a post with one tap — to Bluesky, Nostr, or beyond. You decide what represents you. Capture privately, publish deliberately.

Build from source
It's open source. Clone and build the full app — Rust core, Tauri host, web UI.
git clone https://github.com/zanynik/slowclaw.social
cd slowclaw.social/web && npm install
npm run tauri devFor tinkerers
Run the gateway
The same Rust core also runs headless as a CLI/gateway/daemon for automation.
cargo build --release
./target/release/slowclaw gatewayThe vision
Reclaim your digital life, one reflection at a time.
More than an app, SlowClaw is a bet: that the tools we think with should be ours, private, and aligned with what we actually care about — not tuned to keep us scrolling.
