+eyes, ears, and hands; the Mac is the brain.

+# Timmy Time App — MVP Specification
+
+## Overview
+
+Native iPad app that serves as the primary interface to a sovereign AI agent
+(Timmy) running on a Mac server. All heavy computation stays on the Mac.
+The iPad handles UI, sensor capture, and local preprocessing.
+
+## Target Platform
+
+- iPadOS 26.1+
+- iPad Pro 13" (primary target)
+- Swift 6 / SwiftUI
+- Minimum deployment target: iPadOS 26.0
+
+## Server Requirements
+
+The Mac runs the existing Timmy dashboard (FastAPI) with new API endpoints
+added specifically for the app. Communication over Tailscale (private network).
+
+### API Endpoints (to build on Mac side)
+
+#### Chat
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/chat
+  Body: { "message": "string", "session_id": "string", "attachments": [...] }
+  Response: streaming text/event-stream (SSE)
+
+GET /api/v1/chat/history?session_id=X&limit=50
+  Response: { "messages": [...] }
+```
+
+#### Upload / Media
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/upload
+  Body: multipart/form-data with file
+  Response: { "id": "string", "type": "image|audio|document|url",
+              "summary": "string", "metadata": {...} }
+```
+
+The upload endpoint auto-detects media type and routes to the right processor:
+- Images (jpg, png, heic) → vision model analysis
+- Audio (m4a, mp3, wav, caf) → Whisper transcription
+- Documents (pdf, txt, md) → text extraction
+- URLs (detected from text) → web page extraction
+
+#### Status
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/status
+  Response: { "timmy": "online|offline", "model": "qwen3:30b",
+              "ollama": "running|stopped", "uptime": "..." }
+```

+
+## Data Flow
+
+1. User types/speaks/attaches media
+2. App sends to Mac: POST /api/v1/chat (text) or /api/v1/upload (media)
+3. Upload endpoint processes media, returns summary + ID
+4. Chat endpoint receives message + attachment IDs, streams response
+5. App renders streaming response in real time
+6. Chat saved to local SwiftData store for offline viewing
+
+## Design Principles
+
+- **Touch-first.** Everything reachable by thumb. No tiny tap targets.
+- **Sovereign.** No cloud dependencies. All traffic stays on Tailscale.
+- **Media-rich.** Images, audio, links displayed inline, not as file names.
+- **Fast.** Streaming responses start appearing immediately.
+- **Simple.** One screen. Chat is the interface. Everything else is secondary.
+
+## Color Palette
+
+- Dark mode primary (easier on eyes, looks good on OLED iPad Pro)
+- Accent color: match Timmy's personality — warm gold or sovereign blue
+- Message bubbles: subtle differentiation between user and Timmy
+
+## Phase 2 Features (post-MVP)
+
+- Apple Pencil: draw on images, handwriting input
+- Core ML: on-device Whisper for instant transcription
+- Split View: chat + status side by side
+- Drag and drop from other apps
+- Share Sheet extension ("Send to Timmy")
+- Push notifications for long-running task completion
