Why PhoneGPT

Useful AI. Closer to hand.

PhoneGPT is an Android app for chatting with AI models that run on your phone. Download a model, load it, and start with whatever is on your mind.

The reason for it

Your ideas don’t wait for a connection.

Sometimes you want help writing a message on a journey, understanding a note, or thinking through a problem where the signal is patchy.

PhoneGPT gives you another way to work: download the models you need ahead of time, then use them locally. Everyday chat works on your phone without a PhoneGPT account.

It brings model choice, text-file questions, and English voice typing into one mobile app. You can begin with a small model and explore from there.

Who it is for

A few familiar moments.

When you need a starting point.

Writers, students, and everyday note-takers can explore an outline, rephrase a paragraph, or ask for a simpler explanation. Check facts before relying on the answer.

When the signal comes and goes.

Travellers and people with unreliable connectivity can prepare their models in advance and keep working with local chat.

When speaking is easier than typing.

Dictate a thought in English, read the local transcript, and make it yours before sending. Voice typing helps capture the draft; it never sends it automatically.

When you want to try different models.

Explore how downloadable models respond to the same question. Choose what to keep on your phone and remove what you no longer need.

What local means here

Clear about where the work happens.

Chat replies and English voice typing are processed on your phone. Conversations, attached-file copies and settings are saved there. PhoneGPT does not upload chats to its own servers or use a remote analytics service.

Android may back up app data depending on your device settings. PhoneGPT does not add its own encryption or offer its own cloud backup feature.

You choose which models to download, when to stop a reply, and which conversations to delete. Model downloads need an internet connection.

Where things stand

An Android app, still growing.

PhoneGPT is available as an Android beta, version 0.5.3. Google Play and iPhone releases are not available yet.

Start with a small model and explore at your own pace. Speed and compatibility vary by phone.

Today’s inputs are typed text, TXT files up to 32 KB, and English voice typing. Image chat, cloud backup, accounts, and spoken replies are not available. AI answers can be inaccurate, and speed and quality depend on the model and phone.
