I’d love to find a selfhosted voice assistant to use on my phone, computer, etc. iOS compatibility is a plus. Does anyone know of anything out there that could fit the bill?
Mycroft is the closest thing I can think off.

I believe Mycroft is no longer supported due to legal battles

I didn’t see anything about legal battles in that link.

☹️ Mycroft ran out of money and closed down. I think you can still order a Mark2, but the cloud components they were hosting were taken down which essentially breaks the software. There is another company that picked up the ball and took over support but it’s a more limited experience at the moment and the whole ecosystem is in a bit of a rut. The OpenVoiceOS project that spun out of Mycroft looks like the best bet long-term but they haven’t finished a stable release yet. I bought a Mark2, which I still think is the best hardware available for an open source voice assistant, but finding and stitching together the software to make it work is a chore atm.

OVOS & Neon are MyCroft’s successor. They work well, and can even plug into LLMs

They even have a dedicated piece of hardware for it.

There’s an android app called “Dicio” on F-Droid. It has only very few skills currently, but it looks promising.

Home assistant is working on a voice assistant but it’s not done yet. They’re supposed to announce progress on a YouTube live stream on the 12th.

I’ve been using it for the last month and set it as the default for my phone. Never really used google assistant but HA one works great for controlling lights, shopping lists and reminders (all when connected to home WiFi obviously).
