STANIMAAI · TESTFLIGHT BETA

Help break it before the world gets it.

StanimaOS Pocket is real, it works, and it is quirky. We are looking for a small crew of beta testers who enjoy that sentence: people who report what breaks, say what they wish it did, and get the first version of a personal AI that actually remembers them.

Join the beta The Workshop Bundle

See it run

The demo.

Demo film drops with the first invite wave. Until then: the Fantasy Analyst clips on TikTok and YouTube ARE the app, running live.

What TestFlight is

TestFlight is Apple's official beta app. You install it free from the App Store, tap an invite link from us, and it installs pre-release builds of StanimaOS Pocket on your iPhone. Updates arrive automatically, and if something goes sideways you can send a screenshot report from inside the app in two taps. No jailbreaks, no sketchy profiles, nothing to undo later.

What you'll be testing

The first version of StanimaOS Pocket: a personal AI you set up in minutes. Chat with persona skins (including a fantasy football analyst that searches the web before it opens its mouth), voice conversations, an Apple Watch companion, a document library it can actually read and discuss, iCloud backup, and optional pairing with a Mac running StanimaOS Prime so your phone can hand real work to a real computer.

What we ask of you

Patience with quirks, and a willingness to say something. When it breaks, report it: a TestFlight screenshot, or a message in the Discord. When it annoys you, tell us why. When you want a feature, suggest it. That's the whole job. No NDA, no minimum hours, leave whenever you like. Blunt and constructive beats polite and silent.

Bring your own key (for now)

The app thinks with Anthropic's Claude. During the beta you plug in your own Anthropic API key: about a five-minute setup, and we walk you through it. You pay Anthropic directly for what you use and you control the spending cap. Light daily use tends to cost less than a coffee habit. Rather skip the key entirely? There's a hosted option below.

The program

The beta is free. The Workshop is where the insiders live.

Apple's TestFlight rules prohibit charging anyone for beta access, and honestly we like it that way: your bug reports are you doing us a favor. Every tester gets the TestFlight invite free, plus the public Discord channels for help and bug reports. Beyond that, you pick your lane:

The Workshop Bundle

From $20/month · cancel anytime

Hosted AI plus a builder's seat. This app is being built in the open by one person and his AI, fast, and Workshop members steer it.

$10/month membership + usage credit in $10 blocks. You pick how many blocks at checkout ($20, $30, $40... your dial), and change it anytime. No API account, no key handling: your access key arrives by email, paste it once, done.
Your credit rolls over. Whatever you don't use stays on your account for next month. Running hot? Top up anytime, any amount from $25; card processing (2.9% plus 30 cents) comes off the top and the rest lands as credit.
Every skin in the catalog, plus every new one the day it drops.
The Workshop channels: the inner Discord where the roadmap gets argued and decided. A direct-input forum: what you wish the app had goes straight to the builder.
Your vote builds the app: a monthly feature vote. The winner gets built, and you watch it happen.
Founding-member pricing locked in when the app launches for real, and your name in the credits if you want it there.

To keep everything square with Apple: the Workshop Bundle pays for AI hosting and the community program, never for beta access. You get into the beta free, with either lane.

Fine print, worn proudly

Beta means beta.

The back end of this version is not perfect. Things will break. A message can fail to send, get cut off mid-thought, or occasionally be lost entirely. Features change between builds, sometimes week to week. The app's iCloud backup helps, but treat the beta like a moving vehicle: keep anything you truly cannot lose somewhere else too. When something goes wrong, that's not a scandal, it's the product working as designed: tell us, and watch it get fixed.

Beta software is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, and may contain errors, interruptions, and data loss. By joining the beta you accept those rough edges. Full terms live on the legal page.
