Aurora v1.0.0 — a privacy-first, offline personal AI for Android. Everything runs on your device: no account, no cloud, no telemetry.

Refreshed 2026-07-05 — adds a full light/dark theme that follows your system setting, with an in-app Light / Dark / System toggle in Settings, and lets you delete a single conversation by swipe or long-press. Also in this build: reorganized home (Assistants / Chats bottom tabs + a tools drawer); the Recommended pick is the most capable model that still runs fast on your device rather than the largest one (the heavy 7–9B models are still offered just below); distilled models (a big model's skill in a smaller one, tagged Distilled); and a Developer/contact screen. Rebuilt APKs below; reinstall with adb install -r to keep your data.

What's inside

  • Offline chat with on-device language models (llama.cpp), streaming replies, persistent conversations
  • On-device image generation (stable-diffusion.cpp) — draw pictures from a prompt, fully local
  • Device-matched recommendations — Aurora reads your hardware and shows every model that fits, from 0.5B assistants for 3 GB phones up to 8–9B for high-memory devices
  • Verified downloads — SHA-256-pinned, resumable, HTTPS-only
  • Speed check — measure real load / prompt / generation speed on your device
  • Privacy dashboard — see, from measured device state, exactly what's stored locally and that nothing leaves your phone
  • Light & dark theme — follows the system setting, or pin it to Light / Dark in Settings
  • Settings — per-category storage management (models, conversations, pictures), plus swipe/long-press to delete a single chat

Privacy

One permission (INTERNET, used only for model downloads you initiate). Zero analytics, zero tracking, no export path. Network code is confined to a single audited module; dependency tree scanned by a weekly CI audit, no known vulnerabilities.

Install

Download app-arm64-v8a-release.apk for any modern Android phone (arm64). The x86_64 build is for emulators only. You'll need to allow installing from unknown sources.

adb install -r app-arm64-v8a-release.apk

This build is self-signed for direct distribution; on first install Android will ask you to confirm the source. Use -r (never uninstall first) so your models, chats, and pictures are preserved across updates.
