What it does

Private, offline AI on your phone. 53 open models on iOS and Android. No account or subscription. Optional web search stays under your control.

53 open models from 15 labs, running entirely on your phone. No account, no subscription, and your chats stay on your device. Attach a PDF, a Word file or a spreadsheet and ask about it. Nothing is uploaded. Photograph a sign, a menu, a chart or a receipt and ask what it says. Browse by provider and download what fits: 112 MB to 3.11 GB, from Qwen and Google to PrismML and DeepSeek. Ask for a function, a fix or an explanation and get syntax-highlighted code back, with no connection. Off by default. Your own Tavily or Exa key turns it on, and every answer comes back with its sources. Import a GGUF from Files or a direct URL and run it alongside the catalog. Experimental, and entirely yours.…from kernelai.app
