    Introducing Noema 2.0: On-Device Everywhere

    March 2, 2026
    7 min read
    Noema began as a simple premise: the most personal computing experiences should stay personal, processed entirely on your device without sending your data elsewhere. With Noema 2.0, that vision now reaches beyond the iPhone to every screen where you work and think.

    Native on macOS and visionOS

    Noema arrives on macOS and visionOS, bringing on-device inference to the desktop and to spatial computing environments alike. The Mac experience is not a compromised port or a simplified companion app—it is the full Noema interface, rebuilt natively for the platform with the same privacy guarantees that have defined the project from the start.

    Always-on with Noema Relay

    Noema Relay establishes a persistent connection between your iPhone and Mac through CloudKit. You can host a model on your Mac and connect to it seamlessly from another device without requiring them to share a local network. Synchronization happens quietly in the background, adhering to the same principles of minimal data exposure that guide everything else in the app.

    Vision-aware prompting

    You can now attach photographs to your prompts—up to five per message—and models equipped with the appropriate projectors process them directly on your device. The interface makes capability clear, showing which models support vision, adding a badge when images are queued, and gracefully disabling attachments when you reach the limit or pick an incompatible model.

    Stronger tool calling for automation

    Tool calling has been substantially improved. The underlying architecture now handles complex agentic sequences with greater reliability, opening possibilities for automation that previously required cloud-based solutions.

    Accessibility, languages, and polish

    Noema now speaks ten languages, accessibility has been refined with better keyboard navigation and color contrast, and countless smaller fixes add up to a more polished experience overall.

    Try Noema 2.0 on every device

    Download the macOS build, connect with Noema Relay, and explore vision-aware prompting without ever leaving on-device privacy.
