You decide what your AI sees
Three-tier access: you choose what to share and what to keep private. Your AI never accesses anything without your permission.
A mobile AI companion
Your AI.
Your rules.
One AI across your notes, photos, and messages. You decide what AI and others see. Pickerbird never peeks.
Beta interest only — we email you once, when it's ready.
What you get with Pickerbird
One AI, across your whole life
Notes, photos, messages — all in one place, with an AI that actually knows your world.
Nobody can override your rules
Not us. Not Google. Not anyone. Your control is enforced by architecture, not by a promise.
Your data is sealed
Even if someone gets hold of it, they can't read it — not today, not with a future supercomputer. Your content is encrypted so deeply that only you can open it, ever.
How it works
Set the rules once. Use your AI everywhere.

Run local LLMs on your own hardware in beta. Add a sealed private cloud or frontier models for more power — with fully on-device support coming as it matures.
Why Pickerbird is different
Control you can verify — not a policy you have to trust.
Code, not contracts
Your boundaries are enforced by the software itself. There's nothing to opt out of and no fine print to read.
Integrated, not siloed
Notes, photos, and messages share one AI — instead of a dozen apps each asking for everything.
Provider-agnostic, not locked in
Run the model on your device or pick a cloud brain. You're never tied to one company's servers.
See it in motion
One AI, working the way you set it.
A short, silent look at Pickerbird — notes, photos, and messages under a single companion whose boundaries you draw.

Why we enforce privacy in code, not policy
The difference between a promise and a guarantee is whether someone else can quietly change it.

The three tiers, explained
Private, ask-me-first, and open — and why they're graded by intensity, not traffic-light colors.

What on-device AI can do today, honestly — and where the sealed cloud picks up.
Who's building this
Hi, I'm building Pickerbird.
I spent years watching good products quietly widen what they take from the people who use them. Pickerbird is my answer: an AI companion where the boundaries belong to you and can't be walked back later.
It's early — an alpha built in the open. If that resonates, I'd love to have you on the beta list and hear what you think.
Your AI should answer to you.
