I kept losing the things AI made for me, so I built an iPhone library for them
Short summary
The author built AIpine, an iPhone/iPad app for storing AI-generated files locally. It addresses the problem of useful AI outputs getting lost in chat history by supporting import via share-sheet, format-aware previews (JSX, Mermaid, HTML, Markdown, etc.), and full-text search. The app keeps files local without requiring a separate cloud account.

- •Solves the problem of AI-created artifacts getting buried in chat history
- •Supports format-aware previews alongside editable source code, with share-sheet import and full-text search
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
Is this a good recommendation for you?
