Untraceable AI

A real language model.
Running on your iPhone.

No account. No cloud. No logs. Untraceable AI ships with the model inside it, so the first thing it does on launch is work — in aeroplane mode, in a basement, on a plane, with the SIM out.

Why it is different

What it does

chat

A full conversation with an on-device model, laid out as a terminal session. Long answers keep their formatting — headings, lists, tables and code blocks.

documents

Attach a PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, CSV, JSON or source file. The text is extracted on the phone and the relevant passage is fed to the model — and shown to you.

photos

Attach a picture from the library or the camera. Text and subject matter are read on device with Apple's Vision framework, then discussed by the model.

web search

Optional and off by default. Web, news, images and video modes, with results as cards you can open in the built-in browser.

page assistant

Reading something long? The in-app browser can summarise the page or answer questions about it — still using the model on your phone.

voice

Dictate instead of typing, using Apple's built-in speech recognition.

your own models

Import any GGUF file from the Files app and switch to it. The bundled model stays as the default.

no ai service

There is no cloud AI in this app, and no way to add one. Your prompts cannot be sent to an AI company, because the app has nowhere to send them.

Built like a terminal

Black, neon green, monospaced. Every turn is a prompt line and every answer is its output. Nine accent colours and a light theme are a tap away in settings if green is not your colour.

Honest about the network

The offline claim is only worth something if it is specific, so here is exactly when the app uses a connection:

FeatureNetwork
Chat with the built-in modelNone. Works in aeroplane mode.
Documents and photosNone. Extraction and vision run on device.
Web search / browserOnly when you enable it — your query goes to the search engine.
DictationUses Apple's speech recognition, which may process audio on Apple's servers.
Any AI serviceNever. There is none — the only model is the one on your phone.

There is no server belonging to this app. Nothing is uploaded to the developer, because there is nowhere for it to go.

Requirements

iPhone running iOS 16.4 or later. The download is large — around 780 MB — because the model comes with it; get it on Wi-Fi. A modern iPhone answers at a comfortable reading speed; older devices are slower but work.
