Conjure OS is a local-first, phone-native workspace built for anyone who wants to create or customize their own tools—with zero coding experience required. Written entirely on a phone, it avoids heavy Node.js build chains, generating local web apps and native Android APKs directly on your device.
Conjure OS began as a hands-free audio note capture system mapped to physical phone buttons. Choosing PHP for the local ecosystem revealed its true strength: it’s rock-solid, incredibly malleable, and treats code as simple text. While online AI trends highlight flashy 3D games and polished marketing sites, my focus was real-world utility: a workout tracker customized to my exact habits, a whiteboard free of tedious clicking, and 1-tap automation for my daily work documents.
In fact, the system is capable of far more than just handling my personal daily needs. Beyond micro-apps, Conjure OS hosts complex relational systems, runs autonomous AI agents built in pure PHP, and uses a one-liner setup and compile bridge to connect the local PHP environment to the native terminal—managing and compiling full Android projects directly on the device.
Because software should adapt to life rather than the other way around, Conjure OS is far from complete—and it is designed to stay that way. It is a constantly evolving workspace. If you find parts that aren't perfect or don't fit your workflow, you can modify them however you want. Backed by timeless standards like PHP and SQLite, you are completely free from App Stores, desktop setups, and proprietary AI platforms.
I'm releasing Conjure OS for everybody to use in the hope that this system can be as useful to you as it has been to me. I'm not sure how much value it can bring considering how fast AI is moving forward, but I hope I can make a difference here :)
Watch raw, unstructured insights distill fluidly into actionable execution files on your local drive.
True capture requires no screen time. Map physical hardware keys (like holding the power button or volume rocker) to capture voice notes stealthily in the background. Your raw audio is transcribed through the OpenRouter API and landed directly into your inbox stream, bypassing touchscreen friction completely.
Select the scattered thoughts about the community block party project in chronological order, then click merge.
We need to confirm the food truck vendor line-up for the block party. I think Sarah was looking into the taco truck, but let's make sure we have a vegetarian option too.
Ugh, I really need to drink more water today. My skin feels so dry and it's supposedly super good for energy levels anyway.
Need to draft the sound system requirements and contact the rental shop. Phone number is like 555-0192, and I think they are open 9 to 5, but maybe closed on Sundays?
That guy at the coffee shop was not nice today. It's too bad, he must have been having a really rough day, hope it gets better for him.
Oh, also, volunteer sign-up sheets. I need to send them out to the neighborhood email group before tonight so people can claim shifts early.
Thoughts arrive as fragments. With Selection Mode and Sequential Copying, tap passing insights in chronological order to stitch them into a single clean memo or structured blueprint without losing your place.
Every project lives as a clean, portable Markdown file (.md). It handles anything you throw at it—from party planning and therapy sessions to active coding builds where the AI tracks progress and checks off tasks as you go.
Behind the scenes, your Knowledge Directory holds core system files that ground the AI’s behavior, making it easy to adjust instructions whenever you want to tweak how it interacts. When you settle on a specific workflow—like an outsourcing pipeline—you can refine it with the AI and lock it in as a reusable shortcut using commandify.
/therapy project folder.
persona.md file in the folder to ground its behavior.
work.md, relationships.md, trauma.md). Tell the AI to update persona.md so future sessions automatically know how the files are structured.
commandify: Ask the AI to create a custom command with a trigger like start therapy or resume therapy to immediately load and export all files in the /therapy folder so you pick up right where you left off.
Imagine a world where you aren't forced to conform to bloated commercial apps. Imagine being able to create any tool you want, tailored to your specific quirks, incorporating ideas that are never before seen in commercial software. Here are some apps that I have developed to eliminate friction in my work and daily life:
A Custom Tool for Educators: As an English teacher, class prep traditionally meant cross-referencing printed textbooks, manually extracting vocabulary, typing separate lesson plans, student tests, and answer sheets, composing supervisor posts on Trello, uploading pages to Dropbox, converting everything to PDFs, and downloading them manually to import into an iPad.
The solution: Scanned textbooks are parsed into an offline database with OCR. Now, prepping is just click-click-click-save. A single tap programmatically generates all documents, publishes review logs to Trello, streams files to Dropbox, and automatically loads a custom pre-composed classroom Whiteboard canvas on the iPad.
Commercial workout apps offer great isolated features but force you onto proprietary clouds filled with ads, social bloat, and subscription paywalls. AtlasTrack aggregates custom exercise logging, rest timers, and performance charting into a single, cohesive private tracking app designed exactly for your routine, keeping your raw health telemetry strictly offline.
Orbit makes publishing your apps and websites online effortless. Instead of dealing with complex server commands, Orbit handles all your web deployment in one place:
*.yourdomain.com).
These included demo apps are fully functional and completely malleable. If you want to modify them or build upon them to better suit your own workflow, you can immediately do so directly on your device:
AppDescription
Because the entire ecosystem is malleable, your tools never live in isolated silos. You can run pure PHP AI agents to act as custom recovery coaches or workflow assistants. By default, these agents are human-supervised—giving you complete control over what gets executed, because designing and verifying your software is half the fun.
However, if you want total hands-off autonomy, the system is fully extensible. Using ApkStudio, you can compile custom native Android apps that tap into Android's AccessibilityService APIs—building a native bridge that gives your AI companion direct "eyes and hands" to inspect screens, tap buttons, and run tasks automatically on your device.
Conjure Runtime is a native Android application that transforms your phone into a self-contained local web server, making your workspace available across all your devices:
Maps physical phone hardware buttons to trigger background voice recording instantly with a blank screen.
A floating ball overlay offering a quick-access mobile development dashboard and system controls anywhere on Android.
Compiles web apps into signed native Android APKs—enabling true full-screen mode, split-screen multitasking, and floating windows.
Four under-the-hood stability mechanisms work in synergy to ensure your workspace evolves safely without code loss or unrecoverable errors.
Enforces exact find-and-replace diffs instead of full-file rewrites. The visual diff view makes supervising AI updates simple—even if you don't write code. You instantly see the target file names, which parts of the code remain untouched, and the exact lines being changed. Combined with a mandatory comment explaining the AI's reasoning, you maintain total oversight over your workspace.
How your AI companion understands your entire codebase without guessing or hallucinations:
Every code patch appends a plain-text summary into a permanent edit log. More than just a human record, this log acts as an automated memory bridge for the AI—allowing new chat sessions to instantly pick up recent changes so development remains continuous and seamless across sessions.
Refined Section 5 cards in Launch Site: added JIT Context Exporter and explicit reasoning comments on surgical diff patches.
Optimized Whiteboard floating viewports and added stylus tilt gesture support for seamless tool switching.
Engineered Two-Phase JIT Context Exporter for ~90% token reduction via brace-depth skeletonization.
The Recovery Bunker gives you complete freedom to experiment and customize your workspace without worrying about breaking anything. If an edit ever triggers a fault, an isolated recovery terminal lets you roll back instantly.
More than just an emergency escape, it enables system time travel: if you discover a bug introduced several days ago, you can step back through previous checkpoints to pinpoint when it happened, or selectively grab lost files and restore them to your active setup.
To save space on your phone, the system uses lightweight differential backups that record only what changed—giving you a deep historical safety net without consuming your storage.
Conjure OS kernel sandbox environment active and shielded.
To test the unkillable error safety architecture, trigger a simulated system execution fault.
The error shield has safely isolated the active workspace. A custom code update encountered a fatal crash syntax block. Lockout averted.
100% built by AI, directed and evolved by an English teacher with zero coding background. This entire operating system was written on a phone from the very beginning. It creates local web apps and builds native Android APKs directly on-device—without ever needing a desktop computer.
Conjure OS works directly inside any web chat window—ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, or local models. Export lightweight context, paste it into the chat, converse, generate surgical diff patches, and copy the patch block back to apply live updates on your phone with zero API keys or extra fees required.
