Taha Baalla
Founder · Némos & brainchild co.
Taha Baalla is an independent developer and the founder of Némos — an iPhone-native AI second brain that saves and searches screenshots, voice memos, notes, links, and documents using on-device Apple Intelligence. Every AI operation runs locally on your device. Nothing uploads to the cloud.
Background
Taha built Némos to solve a problem he experienced personally: critical information scattered across dozens of apps, impossible to find weeks later. The app is iOS-native (Swift + React Native), syncs via CloudKit, and relies on Apple Foundation Models for all AI inference — making it among the first personal knowledge management tools built entirely on Apple's on-device AI stack.
