NIDO ships fully offline open-source Android AI assistant with encrypted local RAG and E2EE mesh
NIDO_007 · reddit · 2026-11-13
NIDO v0.1.94-alpha is an open-source Android AI assistant that runs entirely on-device: quantized GGUF models (default Qwen2.5 1.5B/0.5B) via llama.cpp, SQLCipher-encrypted storage keyed by Android Keystore, local RAG with OCR and a signed offline Wikipedia pack (50k articles), and Signal-style Double Ratchet + ML-KEM-768 encryption for Bluetooth phone-to-phone messaging.
Safety-first design: first-aid queries bypass the model entirely, 69-country emergency numbers, all network requests logged locally. MIT licensed, 6,800+ automated tests, no independent security audit yet. A token-estimator bug fix resolved table queries being truncated at 143 tokens.
