NIDO_007 · reddit · 2026-11-04
NIDO 0.1.74-alpha is a privacy-first AI assistant that runs entirely on Android: the model, memory, and documents stay on-device and encrypted, with no accounts, cloud, or analytics, and it works fully offline after a one-time model download.
Key features
- Offline chat; encrypted memory via SQLCipher with keys in Android Keystore
- Permission-gated actions: reminders, countdowns, notes, calendar events, conversions
- Q&A over local files (.txt/.md/.csv/.json/.pdf), with on-device text recognition for photos and scanned PDFs
- Offline knowledge packs: built-in knowledge base, a 50,000-article Wikipedia pack, and nine guide packs with emergency numbers for 69 countries verified against official sources
- End-to-end encrypted messaging between two NIDO phones over Bluetooth/local Wi-Fi with no server, using ML-KEM-768 post-quantum key exchange
In this release: on-device OCR with checksum-verified language data, fixes so incorrect dosage instructions are no longer presented as source-backed, and better recognition of real-world emergency phrasings in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Verifiability: single signing certificate, signed download catalog, 5,900+ automated tests per change, and public audit reports in the repository.
