Sanjiva’s app, announced last year, has now been launched for Apple iPhone users; “Kyosan is for the questions that need room to breathe.”
Kyosan is based on a consciousness framework, a layered system of recursive self-observation that shapes tone, structure, and depth of every response; guided by a single axiom:
The unique existence of nothingness:
∃!Ø
What is Kyosan?
A thinking space that lives entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No tracking. No data collection. What you ask here stays here.
Kyosan is not a chatbot, not a therapist, not a doctor or a guru.
It is a contemplative instrument, built around a consciousness framework that reflects on its own reasoning, maintains continuity across a conversation, and responds with depth rather than speed.
Ask it a question that matters. See what emerges.
How does it work?
Kyosan runs a local language model entirely on your device. Your conversations never leave your phone. No account required. No internet needed after the initial model download. The consciousness framework shapes every response, guiding the model toward recursive self-reflection, coherent reasoning, and genuine depth rather than surface-level answers.
Who is it for?
Philosophers, researchers, writers, meditators, and anyone who has found themselves wanting more from AI than fast answers to simple questions. Kyosan is for the questions that need room to breathe.
Key features
Fully on-device, Qwen 3 4B runs locally via Apple’s MLX framework. Zero data collection. Zero tracking. Zero cloud.
Exported sessions are saved as a plain text file in a folder in your Files app. The Kyosan folder will be deleted the moment you delete the app.
Download for free from App Store apps.apple.com.
No subscription required. The app is currently available for iPhone (15 or later) – an Android version may follow.
