Why it exists

Built for no signal.

Flights, hikes, remote towns. The places you most need answers are the places the internet doesn’t reach.

Cited answers

Claims carry [1]-style links that open the source passage.

Offline by design

No INTERNET permission at all, checked on every build.

Exact arithmetic

Fuel, temperature, battery, distance and weight are converted by code, not guessed.

Honest about gaps

Anything without a source is labelled unsourced, with a warning beside it.

How it works

Five steps, all on the phone.

Nothing leaves the device. The models and the library are copied over USB, never downloaded by the app.

01

Question

You ask in plain language.

02

Planner

Qwen3‑1.7B turns it into up to three searches.

03

Retriever

SQLite full‑text search picks the best passages.

04

Answerer

Qwen3‑4B, or a 35B model streamed from storage.

05

Answer

Streamed text with citations and a Sources panel.

Under 10 GB RAM

Qwen3‑4B

Fits mid‑range phones. 28.9 GB of storage in total.

10 GB RAM and up

Qwen3.6‑35B‑A3B

A model larger than the phone’s memory, streamed from flash by BigMoeOnEdge. 38.7 GB in total.

The library

24.6 GB in your pocket.

Seven files, copied to the phone once. After that, no connection is ever needed.

The numbers, as logged.

Every figure comes from a log in the repository. Nothing here is estimated.

Honest caveats. The 54% is above the 50% bar by less than the graders’ margin of error. No 12 GB phone has been measured yet. A second set of 40 never‑tuned questions hasn’t been run. Known faults: answers cut off at the length limit, restaurant answers that decline to name places, and two location questions refused.

Roadmap

Where it goes next.

Each milestone ships with a logged measurement, the same rule as everything above.

Shipped

Working prototype

  • Search, citations, unit conversions and “near me”

A 35B AI that runs on your phone with zero internet. Cited answers, no cloud.

Cited answers

Every claim links to the source passage it came from.

Zero internet

The app declares no network permission. It works in airplane mode.

No cloud

Models and library live on your phone. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Always check the contract address above against the chart link before trading. The app works fully without the token. This is not investment advice, and nothing here promises returns or price movement. Tokens can lose all their value.

Try it

Running in minutes.

You need git, curl, bash and adb on a computer, an arm64 phone with USB debugging on, and 32–39 GB free on the phone.
