On-device AI chat
A Qwen3-4B model running on Apple's MLX framework and the Metal GPU. Streaming replies, editable personas, document chat — works in airplane mode from the very first tap.
Neon Synthetics is a complete on-device creative studio — a capable language model, a full neon beat studio, an offline Wikipedia, notes and voice, all in one app. No account, no internet, no model download. Nothing you type, hum, or record ever leaves your iPhone.

Neon Synthetics isn't just a chat box. It's chat, music, knowledge, notes and voice — every part running on the device in your hand, with the model baked right into the app.

Not a toy: an 8-pad sampler and 16-step sequencer, a playable 6-instrument synth with scale-lock, type-to-speech vocals, a mixing console with reverb & delay, song mode with audio export, and 50+ retro sounds. The only offline AI app that's also a beat machine.
A bundled, full-text-searchable snapshot of ~1,800 articles. The AI even cites it — referenced articles appear as tappable chips beneath replies. No signal required.
Capture ideas, then "Ask NEON" to summarise, expand, or turn a note into a checklist. An interactive home-screen widget lets you tick items off without opening the app.
Record voice memos with a live waveform, transcribe them on device, trim and rename, then get an AI summary — or drop a clip straight onto a sampler pad.
On-device dictation that never touches the cloud, plus read-aloud with neural voices. Type words into NEON Voice and turn them into vocal stabs for your track.
"Hey Siri, ask Neon Synthetics…" and "New Neon note" via App Intents, plus Spotlight integration — the studio reaches out to the rest of iOS without reaching out to the internet.
A synthwave control room — outrun grid, drifting aurora, optional CRT scanlines, a power-on self-test, and a room that glows to the beat. Tune the whole vibe in the Control Panel.
NEON BEATS is the part no other offline-AI app has — a genuine production suite you can record, remix, arrange, and export with, entirely on the device.
8 pads, a 16-step grid, tap-tempo, swing, and per-step accents.
Six instruments — lead, bass, pluck, pad, organ, bells — with key & scale lock so it always plays in tune.
Type words and turn them into vocal stabs — trailer narrator, deep, hype-MC, robot and more.
Original chiptune, synth, FX and drum one-shots — or import your own and reuse them on any pad.
Per-pad faders, mute/solo, reverb and delay sends, and a live audio-reactive spectrum visualizer.
Chain patterns into full arrangements, save grooves to a library, and export audio to share.
NEON writes original lyrics on-device, with a live syllable counter to fit them to the beat.
14 bite-size lessons in real music theory, each tied to a tool in the studio.
Five tools, one neon control room — here's what Neon Synthetics looks like running entirely on your phone.





Most "private" AI apps still phone home. Neon Synthetics has no networking code at all. The model lives in the app bundle, inference runs on the Metal GPU, and your conversations, notes, and recordings are stored only on your device.
No account to create. No telemetry. No analytics SDKs. Turn on airplane mode and everything still works — because it never needed the network in the first place.
The kind of on-device AI engineering we do for clients — shipped as a real product.
4-bit quantized, ~2.3 GB, bundled in the app. Apache-2.0 licensed.
Apple's array framework on the Metal GPU. Live tokens/sec telemetry per reply.
BM25 search over a bundled SQLite/FTS5 wiki — citations the model can actually open.
The whole beat studio: synth voices, sampler, mixer, reverb & delay, live capture.
Conversations, notes, recordings, samples, patterns and songs — stored locally.
Interactive widgets, Siri and Shortcuts — SwiftUI throughout, iOS 17+.
Free on the App Store, with an optional one-time NEON PRO unlock for the full sound lab. Built for Apple silicon — iPhone 15 Pro and newer.
