Ari CORE

Coming soon · iPhone

Private AI,
in your pocket.

Run local .gguf models on your phone, or pair with the aricode desktop over end-to-end encryption. No accounts, no analytics, no middleman between you and the model.

App Store — in review Privacy policy

Two modes · one app

Talk to a model on your phone.
Or to the one on your desktop.

Solo · on-device

Bring your own model.

Drop a GGUF file into the Files app and chat without sending anything to a server. Quantized 3B–7B models run on recent iPhones with enough headroom for a real conversation.

Airplane mode works fine
Keys never leave the Keychain

Linked · paired desktop

Sessions, from the couch.

Scan one QR code to pair with aricode on your Mac. Stream long-running jobs, approve tool calls, and glance at what your workstation is doing without touching it.

Relay sees ciphertext only
Fingerprint verified on both ends

The app, in frames

Editorial calm,
not cockpit clutter.

Warm cream, ink-black type, one gold accent. The interface gets out of the way so the model's output doesn't have to fight for attention.

fig. 01 · home

Everything, at a glance.

Active desktop session, other threads sorted by recency, one tap back into whatever was last moving.

fig. 02 · chat

Chat, without ceremony.

Type in natural language. The model streams back. Code fences and monospace render inline, no surprises.

fig. 03 · stream

See what it's doing.

Every tool call, read, and thought — surfaced in a scroll you can actually follow. Nothing hides in a black box.

fig. 04 · on-device

Running entirely on your phone.

Import a GGUF from Files or iCloud Drive. No telemetry, no subscription. If the phone's off the network, the model still answers.

fig. 05 · providers

Your keys, your usage.

OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, your own Ollama — whatever you already pay for. Keys stored only in the iOS Keychain.

fig. 06 · solo

A quiet slate.

Empty by design. Add a provider or import a model and the interface fills in. No upsells, no onboarding maze.

Private by construction

Nothing leaves your device without your key.

AriCore has no accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting that phones home. Messages between phone and desktop are end-to-end encrypted with standard primitives — the relay server only ever sees ciphertext.

Handshake

X25519 ephemeral key exchange. A short fingerprint is compared on both screens before anything is trusted.

Transport

ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD on every frame. Keys derived with HKDF-SHA256, fresh per session.

Storage

API keys and device keypair live in the iOS Keychain with ThisDeviceOnly access. No iCloud sync, no backup leak.
