โ† Lumen overview
02 / Apps

Thirty-three apps. One install. Ever.

Everything below is a live tile in the hub today. None of it required an app store, a release pipeline, or touching the phone โ€” most were built conversationally and appeared on the device the moment they existed.

Perception โ€” the phone as a sensor package

๐ŸŽ™Scribe

Live transcription with speaker labels: browser-side voice-activity detection, GPU Whisper inference, and speaker-embedding clustering for diarization. A foreground service keeps capturing with the screen off.

GPU ยท diarization

๐ŸงพReceipts

Snap a receipt; an LLM parses vendor, totals, and tax category into a database in the background. Tax season becomes a query.

LLM parsing

๐Ÿ”Lens

Scan, read, record โ€” a vision pipe that routes phone camera frames to fleet GPU models for OCR and understanding.

Vision pipe

๐Ÿ‘ถNannybot

A baby monitor built from a spare camera: YOLO pose estimation plus motion detection on the GPU box, alerting to the phone.

YOLO ยท alerts
Intelligence โ€” assistants that live server-side

๐Ÿ—ฃVoice / Nova

A speech assistant with a real end-of-utterance detector and a decision gate that logs every accept/reject โ€” talking to Claude plus long-term personal memory, with an audit trail.

EOU gating ยท audited

โœฆBuster (Sidekick)

Life-aware chat: mention an appointment or an idea mid-conversation and it's filed into the shared calendar and task boards automatically.

Auto-filing

๐ŸŽฏJargen

A real-time call copilot: live suggestion bubbles during phone calls, wired to a dialer.

Real-time

โœ๏ธCode Coach

A coding tutor that watches a real screen over HDMI capture, reads the editor with a vision model, and coaches one human-sized step at a time โ€” 24 shipped versions.

Vision loop
Life โ€” the daily-driver layer

๐Ÿš—Drive

Voice-driven turn-by-turn navigation with music control โ€” no Google Maps involved.

Self-hosted nav

๐Ÿ“…Calendar & Tasks

Appointments, reminders, and a kanban board โ€” shared state with the assistants, editable from either side.

Shared state

๐Ÿ“žPhone & Messenger

Calling, SMS, and a Facebook Messenger bridge โ€” communication as hub plugins rather than siloed vendor apps.

Comms bridge

๐ŸทDeals

Classified-ad deal alerts with live feed, favourites, and price filters.

Watcher
Media โ€” streamed, not stored

๐ŸŽตSelecta & Music

The whole music library server-side, playing on whatever screen or Bluetooth device is nearby.

Streaming

๐Ÿ“šAudiobooks

Long series streamed from the media box with position sync.

Streaming

๐Ÿ“–BookTalk

A TikTok-style swipeable text feed where an AI curates the interesting internet into cards โ€” brain-rot-free by construction.

AI curation

๐ŸŽฌReels & Littlerature

A curated educational reel feed, and a live story-art portal fed by a generative pipeline.

Curated feeds
Control โ€” the fleet in your pocket

๐Ÿง Warden

The always-on fleet brain: agent sessions, health checks, and control of the machines behind Lumen โ€” from the phone.

Fleet control

โŒจ๏ธTerminal

A phone-usable remote terminal with a custom DOM-grid renderer, linking into live AI coding-agent sessions on the workstation.

DOM-grid TUI

๐Ÿ–ฅRemote Desktop

VNC to any machine in the fleet, tuned for touch.

VNC

๐Ÿ›กShallots & Sentinel

The Security Shallots dashboard and a host sentinel with biometric disarm โ€” security posture as a pocket app.

Security
Play โ€” because a platform should be fun

๐Ÿš‚OpenTTD & OpenRCT2

Full transport-tycoon and rollercoaster sims served as hub tiles.

Games

โš”๏ธSC2 Sim

A guided, turn-based StarCraft II strategic decision game with its own engine.

Custom engine

๐Ÿง AI Daily Brief & NCMS

A daily AI-research digest distilled by local models, and a narrative-vs-market correlation dashboard.

Digests

๐Ÿ”—OpenKeel

A live window into the multi-agent system that helps build all of the above.

Meta
The point isn't any single app. It's the marginal cost of the next one. When an app is a folder with three files and an AI can write folders, "should this exist?" replaces "is this worth building?" โ€” and the catalog grows at the speed of wanting things.
