What's new in 1.1.0
• Smaller App Store download — the on-device AI model (~1.1 GB) is fetched from Hugging Face the first time you use chat or recall, then stays on your iPhone for offline use
• Clear download progress, plus Settings controls to download or remove the model
• Smoother on-device chat and memory recall once the model is ready
Privacy tip: after the one-time download, inference stays on device by default.
