Merrin

What was that ramen place I liked in Tokyo?

Ichiran in Shibuya. You wrote that the tonkotsu broth was the best you'd had.

Japan trip · Apr 2026

Right — wasn't I going to catch up with Alex after that?

You were. After the trip you noted wanting to see Alex once you were back — your close friend from the Tokyo days.

Alex · close friendTrip · Apr 2026

Set a reminder to message him Friday.

Done — Friday, 6:00 PM. I'll bring this back up then.

The short answer

What is Merrin?

Merrin is a personal intelligence that helps you think, remember, and understand yourself over time.

You talk or write about your day, and what matters — conversations, journal entries, people, and decisions — becomes a private history on your device. Over time, Merrin connects your experiences so you can notice patterns and see how you're changing.

Meet Merrin

Personal intelligence, with a familiar face

Merrin isn't a simulated friend, and it isn't a stand-in for the people in your life. It's a private intelligence you can talk to — and the character is simply how you reach it.

  • Talk by voice or type — whichever fits the moment.
  • Ask for a listener, a coach, or a devil’s advocate.
  • Everything you share stays in your own private history.
  1. Listening
  2. Thinking
  3. Speaking

I can't decide whether to take the new role.

What's pulling you toward it — the work itself, or what it says about where you're headed?

Voice or text. The same Merrin either way, and both stay on your device.

Everyday moments

For the thinking you're already doing

Merrin isn't something you visit once. It's for the thinking you're already doing.

Talk through decisions and ideas

Talk about an idea, a difficult decision, or something on your mind. Merrin can offer different perspectives without losing the context of your conversation.

Journal without starting a blank page

Conversations can become journal entries. Important people, ideas, experiences, and decisions become part of your searchable personal history.

Notice patterns over time

Look back at recurring thoughts, changing priorities, or unfinished decisions. Merrin helps connect experiences across days, weeks, and months.

Intelligence that grows with you

Memory that becomes understanding.

Anyone can recall a fact. Merrin connects what you've talked about — and helps you see what it says about how you're changing.

What did I decide about my career last month?

You decided to finish the current project first, and to revisit the decision in the new year.

Perspectives

One conversation. Different ways to see it.

Sometimes you need someone to listen. Sometimes you need a different perspective. Choose how Merrin responds to your thoughts.

I'm thinking about leaving my job.

The same message, answered three ways.

Listener

"What's been making you feel that way?"

Makes space for you to talk it out.

Coach

"What's the biggest thing keeping you from making that decision?"

Helps you move from thinking to deciding.

Devil's Advocate

"Before you leave, are you sure the problem is the job and not something temporary?"

Tests the decision from the other side.

How it works

How does Merrin work?

Talk, and what matters is remembered; over time, Merrin connects your experiences so you understand them. A simple loop that becomes more useful the longer you keep it.

01

Talk about your day

Talk about your day, an idea, or something you're working through — by voice or text.

02

Merrin remembers what matters

What matters becomes part of your personal history: conversations, journal entries, people, and decisions.

03

Understand your patterns

Over time, Merrin connects experiences and helps you notice patterns — and how you're changing.

Private by design

Your thoughts belong to you — and stay on your device

Merrin's core intelligence runs on your device. Your conversations, memories, and journal remain under your control.

Private on-device conversations

Core AI processing runs on your phone, not on a remote server.

Works offline after setup

Once the models are installed, the core app keeps working without a connection.

Yours to control

See, edit, export, or delete your personal data at any time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Merrin

How do I get Merrin?

Merrin is in final development and is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment it's available.

What does "personal intelligence" mean?

It means Merrin is built around your own history rather than general knowledge. It remembers what you've talked about, connects experiences across days and weeks, and helps you understand how your thinking is changing — privately, on your device.

Is my data private?

Merrin is designed so its core AI operates on your device. Your conversations, journal entries, memories, transcripts, and generated insights are intended to stay on your device during normal local use. Some features do use the internet — for example downloading AI models, processing purchases, retrieving configuration, and optional diagnostics or online services.

Does Merrin work offline?

Core functionality such as conversation, journaling, search, and memory is designed to keep working without an internet connection after the required AI models are installed. Initial model downloads and purchases need an internet connection.

Can I control or delete what Merrin remembers?

Yes. Inside the app you can view what Merrin remembers, edit or delete individual memories, exclude individual conversations, disable memory, and export or delete your stored data. Because this data lives on your device, deleting it in the app is immediate and permanent, and we do not keep a server-side copy.

Can I delete or reset all my data inside the app?

Yes. You can do it at any time, without contacting us. Open Settings in Merrin and choose the delete or reset option to erase all locally stored data, including conversations, journal entries, memories, transcripts, insights, and downloaded AI models. Individual items can be deleted as you go. Merrin does not require an account, so there is nothing to close or deactivate. Deletion is immediate and permanent on your device, and uninstalling the app also removes its local data.

Is my data used for advertising?

No. Merrin is not funded by selling your personal conversations, journal entries, or memories for advertising, and it does not use that content for targeted ads. Optional analytics — enabled only with consent where required — may record events such as app opens, model downloads, or crashes, not your journal or conversation text.

What's included in Free and Pro?

Free includes text conversations, basic voice conversations, a manual journal, and private local storage. Pro adds automatic journaling, long-term memory, search by meaning, and personal insights. Exporting your data is available on every plan.

What happens when I buy Pro?

Paid plans are purchased through the native in-app purchase systems on the Apple App Store or Google Play, which process your payment. After purchase, the store's entitlement information is linked to your user identifier so Pro features unlock and can be restored if you reinstall the app or move to another supported device. We never receive your full payment card details. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel them in the platform's subscription settings, and refunds, billing periods, and taxes follow the relevant store's policies and your local consumer law.

Which devices are supported?

Merrin is available on supported iOS and Android devices. Because AI models run on your device, quality and available features can vary with device hardware and storage.

Is Merrin a replacement for a therapist or doctor?

No. Merrin is built for reflection, journaling, and self-awareness — not medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice, and it is not an emergency service. AI output can be inaccurate, so use your own judgement.

What does on-device mean, and is it as good as cloud AI?

On-device means the language model runs on your phone instead of a remote server, so your conversations stay local during normal use and core features work without a connection. For personal conversation, journaling, and recall, on-device models are capable and private. Very large cloud models can still handle more knowledge-heavy tasks, but they need your content sent to a server. Quality can vary with your device's hardware and storage.
