Try it with the built-in on-device model — no API key needed — or bring your own key for Claude, OpenAI, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Swipe from the corner or hold the power button to summon Aide, just like the built-in assistant. Ask it about what's on your screen, send a text, set an alarm, or look something up — all without leaving what you're doing.

RUNS ON YOUR PHONE
Aide ships with a small AI model that runs entirely on-device. Pick "Aide on-device" in Settings to chat without an API key — it handles basic questions and quick actions like timers, texts, navigation, or web search. Free, private, ~550 MB download on first use. For harder questions, pair it with a cloud provider — switch between them with one tap from the chat header.

5 DAYS OF PRO, FREE
Every install gets Aide Pro for 5 days automatically. No card, no sign-up, no trial button. After 5 days you keep the free tier. Pro is a one-time $9.99 unlock — no subscription.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- Use voice input and text-to-speech for hands-free conversations (Pro)
- Ask about what's on your screen — Aide can see and understand it (Pro)

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Use the on-device model and nothing leaves your phone — no API calls, no telemetry. Bring your own API key and it's encrypted on-device with AES-256, with conversations going directly to your provider — Aide never sees them. No middleman servers, no usage caps, no data collection. Conversation history is stored locally on your device.

MAKE IT YOURS
- Customize the system prompt to shape how Aide responds
- Switch between AI providers on the fly
- Light, dark, and system themes with Material 3 design
