NIDO: an open-source Android AI assistant that runs fully offline, down to the model and memory
NIDO_007 · reddit · 2026-11-14
NIDO (MIT, public alpha 0.1.98) is an Android assistant where the LLM, memory, documents and messages all stay on-device: no accounts, no cloud, works in airplane mode. LLM via llama.cpp with a 0.4–5.2 GB catalog (Qwen2.5/Qwen3, Phi-3.5 mini, Gemma, LFM 2.5), SQLCipher-encrypted memory, Tesseract OCR document indexing, offline first-aid packs and emergency numbers for 69 countries, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi E2E messaging without a server, Ed25519-signed pack catalogs — and a deterministic grounding judge that verifies every answer sentence-by-sentence against sources (units, dates, negation).
