AI On-Device
Anotta — Private AI Voice Notes
Voice turned into notes, summaries and tasks. AI that runs on the phone. No cloud. Nobody listening. The app that should have existed already.

Alejandro Cordón. Software engineer. The work is below. The backstory is further down. Scroll.
2013. A biomedical text recognition app gets published. Nobody uses it. Zero downloads that weren't test runs from different devices.
So another one gets shipped. And another. And another. Each one slightly less bad than the last. Fifteen apps later, 120,000 people had used something that came out of this.
Along the way: a self-driving car with a Raspberry Pi for a master's thesis. A Bitcoin LED display that flashed red every time the price dropped. A €2,000 bike simulated over Bluetooth because the real one wasn't in the budget. Practical stuff.
One thing no tutorial teaches: the only way to make something good is to make many bad things first. Fast. Without asking permission. And ship them.
15+ apps in production. Android, iOS, native and cross-platform.
Computer vision, CNNs, NLP. From paper to Raspberry Pi.
Self-driving cars, sensors, Bluetooth. If it has a chip, it gets code.
Python, Java, C, Swift, Kotlin, JS. Whatever ships it.
Real problems, real solutions. Some started as weekend experiments. Some ended up on Google Play with thousands of downloads.

Organize, reflect, and grow. A personal app designed with simplicity and elegance in mind.
2026
Master's thesis project. A car that drives itself with a Raspberry Pi, a camera and neural networks. Detects signs, follows lanes, needs no GPS. Low cost, high risk.
2020
Give it a 2-hour podcast. It returns 5-minute clips with the best moments. Whisper transcribes, the algorithm clips. You share.
2022The mouse moves on its own. Status stays green. Nobody knows about the kitchen break. The macOS app nobody asked for but everyone installs.
2021
Where does the electricity you're using right now come from? Sun or grid? This viewer tells you in real time. Red if you pay, green if you don't.
2021
2017. Bitcoin was skyrocketing. Obvious solution: put the price on an LED matrix with a Raspberry Pi. First glance every morning.
2017
No bike. Still needed to develop for it. So it got simulated over Bluetooth. Problem solved without spending €2,000.
2015
A puzzle where you manipulate time. Written in C and Lua during college. The first project someone played voluntarily.
2013
The app where it all started. Point the camera at a medical text and it explains the concepts. 2013. Android Gingerbread. Three downloads. All from the same account.
201315+ apps on Google Play and the App Store. Some useful, all shipped. Take a look.
No loyalty to any language. Whatever solves the problem gets used. These have the most miles on them.
Doesn't need to be fully defined. Drop a message, we talk, we see if it makes sense. No commitment, no 47-field forms.
