# Privacy First, Zero Internet. Download an LLM and use it on your mobile device. No data ever leaves your phone. Supports text-to-text, vision, text-to-image

## Summary

Off Grid is an open-source mobile app that runs AI models entirely on-device without internet connectivity. It supports text generation (Qwen, Llama, Gemma, Phi-4), image generation (Stable Diffusion), vision AI, voice transcription (Whisper), and document analysis. The app achieves 15-30 tokens/second on flagship devices and 5-10 seconds for image generation with NPU acceleration. Available for Android and iOS, it's built with React Native and leverages llama.cpp, whisper.cpp, and platform-specific ML frameworks. All processing happens locally with zero data transmission.
