Hello, Blobs.
A little help with your on-device research companion.
Blobs answers questions with a local language model and the libraries saved on your phone, then opens the source passages behind an answer. The 0.5.0 release runs this flow on a physical Android phone with airplane mode on.
There is no account flow, and the app does not declare a Google Play Services dependency, which is what a GrapheneOS install requires. It has not been run on a GrapheneOS build.
New here?
Start with installation and setup. You’ll choose a model and can add the starter library when you want local sources; a model is enough for your first conversation.
Prefer a look around first? Take the screen tour to see setup, chat, sources, libraries, and settings in the Android app.
Make it useful for you
- Chat and sources: ask questions, follow citations, and return to conversations.
- Your library: keep travel guides, reference, repair know-how, and everyday knowledge nearby.
- Your own files: bring in documents from your phone.
- Models: understand the choices and change what runs on your device.
- Privacy and local-use design: see what stays on your phone and when the app connects.
Building or contributing?
The developer guide covers the Android build. Read about the architecture, library pipeline, or contributing.
These guides describe the 0.5.0 release and its bundled download list. A newer app release or a user-requested list update can add more choices. Downloads are available on GitHub Releases.
