Rete turns Apple devices into local AI mesh

The hook is strong because it combines three things users actually want from AI tooling: privacy, offline use, and a clear ownership story.

• –The distributed-compute angle is the differentiator; local AI apps are common, but “mesh your Apple devices into a supercomputer” is a sharper story.
• –The pricing model is easy to understand and market: one payment, lifetime access, no recurring fee.
• –The main risk is trust and reliability at the edge cases: pooling compute across devices sounds compelling, but users will care about setup friction, speed, and whether the network behaves predictably.
• –This is best positioned as an Apple-native power-user tool, not a general consumer chatbot.
