DeepDives
Sibling · Music Sub-Brand
Builds 12–27 archived · App Store Connect submission underway · Pre-1.0

Private music discovery. No ads, no tracking.

DeepDives is the music-focused Everplay sibling. Look up an artist, open a release, save what catches your ear, and read short knowledge cards sourced from public music databases and encyclopedia text — then Apple’s on-device models or, if you choose, the same optional Phi model AiMANAC can download. No subscription, no listening data sold, no ad stack.

01
What It Is
Artist · Release · Knowledge · Stash

DeepDives is a native iPhone app with a small on-device engine for speed and privacy. It prefers public music databases and encyclopedia excerpts first, then Apple’s on-device language model, then an optional Phi model you explicitly enable. iCloud keeps your own library in sync across your devices.

Artist page

Cover grid, short knowledge card with sources, and outbound links for merch or streaming.

Release detail

Large artwork, track list, knowledge card, optional credits picker.

Milkcrate

Heart-tap shelf for “listen again later.” Survives force-quit; a gentle banner reminds you when something is still unplayed.

Nautilus

In-app browser with the same chrome as the rest of the app — save from the page, share, or open in Safari.

Knowledge line

Online sources first with a short timeout, then Apple on-device help, then optional Phi when you turn it on.

Art cache

Generous on-disk cache so artwork you have already seen stays snappy on the next launch.

How It Pairs With AiMANAC
Cross-Namespace · Shared App Group

Different App Store identity. DeepDives ships under the Everplay music brand (tech.everplay.deepdive), separate from the net.llmtech.* siblings — same family values, different storefront listing.

Shared pocket with AiMANAC. Both apps opt into the same on-device shared folder so DeepDives can reuse a Phi download AiMANAC already fetched — you skip a second multi-gigabyte grab — and so future hand-offs stay simple.

No shared mail login. DeepDives signs into iCloud on its own and uses a private CloudKit database for your crates and notes.

Works alone. You can buy DeepDives without AiMANAC. If you want Phi, the model downloads inside DeepDives the first time you opt in. Online knowledge still works either way.

Quick Setup
Three Steps
  1. Buy DeepDives on the App Store. Separate App Store listing under Everplay-Tech. Pricing set on that product surface — not bundled with AiMANAC.
  2. Sign in to iCloud. DeepDives uses its own CloudKit private container. The schema is already deployed to production; your data syncs across your devices on first run.
  3. (Optional) Install AiMANAC first. If you own AiMANAC, install it before DeepDives and start the Phi-4 download from there. DeepDives will find the model via the shared App Group instead of pulling its own copy.

iCloud + local only. No deepdive-server GHCR package — HELM workflows use App Group exports into AiMANAC when you orchestrate from the base app. Fleet backends: /setup/llm/.

05
A Note On Phi-4
Off By Default · Opt In From Settings

DeepDives doesn't run Phi-4 in its default knowledge route. By default, it asks Apple Foundation Models first and falls back to a rules-based summarizer. If you want Phi-4 in the loop — for offline knowledge cards or to compare quality — turn it on in Models Settings. Most listeners won't need to touch this.

06
Talk To The Family
Discord · Music Discovery Users

DeepDives is the music sub-brand. Discord is where listeners share grounded card requests, knowledge-base feedback, and the maintainer answers questions about wishlist + in-app browser behaviour.

Support

Card not loading, knowledge base disagreeing with reality, wishlist not syncing across devices, Phi-4 model picker stuck? Ask in Discord.

Feedback
