OpenCone
Build private knowledge bases from files
Gunnar Hostetler
Description
Transform documents into searchable knowledge bases. Import PDFs, Word docs, code, and images for extraction and embedding. Perform semantic search with real-time answers from private OpenAI and Pinecone integrations.
Transform your iPhone and iPad into a self-contained RAG powerhouse. Import PDFs, Word docs, code, images, and text into a secure sandbox - extraction, embedding, and semantic search happen with zero lock-in. Point the app at your OpenAI and Pinecone credentials for a private knowledge base that streams grounded, citation-backed answers in real time.
COMPLETE DOCUMENT PIPELINE
• Multi-format extraction: PDF, DOCX, TXT, HTML, Markdown, JSON, CSV, and code
• Apple Vision OCR for on-device image text recognition
• MIME-aware chunking with configurable size and overlap
• Security-scoped bookmarks preserve file access across launches
• Deduplication by path, size, and timestamp fingerprinting
• Live progress tracking with structured logs for every phase
SEMANTIC SEARCH WITH STREAMING
• One-tap queries embed prompts and run similarity search against Pinecone
• Server-Sent Events deliver incremental answer deltas - no blocking spinners
• Citations reference exact chunks with document names and source metadata
• Metadata filters scope searches to specific documents or custom tags
• Conversation memory keeps recent turns in context for coherent follow-ups
GPT-5 REASONING MODEL SUPPORT
• Choose between standard models (GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini) or GPT-5
• Dynamic controls: reasoning effort for GPT-5, temperature/top-p for others
• Unified Responses API with conditional parameterization
RESILIENCE & OBSERVABILITY
• Pinecone health checks surface outages with dismissible banners
• Circuit breaker prevents hammering unhealthy hosts
• Watchdog timers catch stalled streams and trigger fallbacks
• Per-search trace IDs and granular log levels make every stage inspectable
• Error banners auto-dismiss after 8 seconds with user-friendly summaries
SETTINGS & PRIVACY
• Credentials in Keychain via SecureSettingsStore
• Release guardrails prevent accidental key leaks
• Model selection, chunk parameters, top-k defaults, metadata presets persist
• Reset control wipes credentials and history without reinstalling
• Guided onboarding validates API keys before unlocking main interface
POLISHED SWIFTUI EXPERIENCE
• Theme manager with alternate icons and dynamic color schemes
• Reactive MVVM-S architecture decouples views from business logic
• Async/await throughout keeps UI responsive during heavy operations
• Design system components ensure consistency across all tabs
