Projects

Aelius, founder and sole engineer

2025 to now

aeliusai.com · iOS app in the App Store

  • A free AI assistant: chat, image generation, memory that carries between conversations, scheduled tasks, and an API that coding tools can plug into.
  • Python and Flask on SQLite, served through a tunnel with no open ports.
  • Per-session context budgeting, so several people can share one machine at the same time without one long conversation starving the rest.
  • A native iOS client, a progressive web app, accounts and billing.

It runs on hardware I own instead of rented cloud GPUs, which is why it can be free. Keeping that hardware online is a separate job, on the IT page.

The aeliusai.com home page, with the headline Intelligence, unmetered.
