Dump is your private second brain. Capture notes, photos, voice memos, documents, screenshots, and X bookmarks in one place. No folders, tags, or filing. Dump enriches information with web context and lets you find anything using on-device semantic search. Everything stays on your device and personal iCloud with zero cloud storage, zero tracking, and zero compromise. Just dump, remember, and instantly recall what matters.
How does the on-device semantic search actually perform when you have thousands of dumped items, and does it work offline once the initial setup is done?
Dump Memory
@hamzagayricztz It scales to thousands of saved items using a local hybrid index, not a full vector database. We cache embeddings, only re-embed changed content, and combine semantic and keyword search for fast, accurate results.
The embedding model isn’t updated on-device. Embeddings are generated via OpenRouter using text-embedding-3-small, while the local index updates as your memories change.
The zero data retention framing is what separates this from the other AI second-brain apps, most of them bury the actual data policy three menus deep. Practical question though: if you're on the free 5GB iCloud tier and it fills up from screenshots and voice memos, does Dump just stop syncing new items, or does search quietly start missing things without telling you?
How does the on-device semantic search actually perform once you've dumped a few thousand items, does it still feel instant or does it start to crawl?
How does the semantic search actually handle voice memos and photos, is it all transcribed and indexed locally too or just the text content?
How does the semantic search actually perform with voice memos that aren't transcribed on a regular basis, or does Dump handle the transcription on-device too?
Captured a few notes and a bookmark already, and the semantic search actually pulled up what I was thinking of without me needing to tag anything. Love that it stays on my device too.
