KernelAI
Private, Offline AI Assistant
Free · Designed for iPad
Private AI that runs on your phone. No internet needed. No data collection. No subscription. 43+ free models including Meta Llama, Google Gemma & more.
KernelAI is a private, offline AI assistant that runs entirely on your phone. No internet required. No data collection. No subscription. Ever.
Your phone. Your AI. No internet needed.
Unlike ChatGPT and other cloud-based AI apps, KernelAI works anywhere — on flights, underground, or in remote locations. Download a model once and keep permanent AI capabilities without relying on an internet connection.
KernelAI is private by design. Your conversations never leave your device. There is zero data collection, no analytics, no tracking, and no telemetry. All data is encrypted locally using AES-256. There is no cloud sync, no servers storing your information, and no account or login required. The app is architecturally private, meaning your data is inaccessible by anyone but you.
KernelAI is fully offline. Once models are downloaded, the app works completely without a network connection. Use AI on planes, trains, subways, or in remote locations with no data usage, no latency, and no service interruptions. Your AI assistant is always available, even when the internet isn’t.
KernelAI includes access to more than 43 free AI models. Choose from open-source models by Meta, Google, Microsoft, and others, including Llama, Gemma, Phi, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Mistral. All models are free with no premium tiers. You can switch between models at any time and new models are added regularly.
Ask anything and use AI without limits. KernelAI supports learning and explanations, creative writing and brainstorming, language translation, code assistance and debugging, document summarization, math problem solving, research, and more.
Additional features include vision AI for image and photo analysis, file attachments for document understanding, customizable system prompts and parameters, a beautiful dark mode, organized chat history with search, background model downloads, and an ad-free experience.
KernelAI is built for users who value real privacy and control. Your data physically cannot leave your device. This is not a policy promise — it is how the app is engineered. Once a model is downloaded, you own that AI capability permanently, with no outages, no server limits, and no subscriptions.
KernelAI is perfect for students who need help anywhere, travelers avoiding international data charges, privacy-conscious users, professionals working with sensitive information, people in areas with limited or unreliable internet, and AI enthusiasts who want to try new and emerging open-source models from the Hugging Face ecosystem.
