Full description
Frand is your private AI companion that runs entirely on your phone — no cloud servers, no tracking, no internet required. Powered by Google's Gemma language model, Frand brings powerful AI chat capabilities directly to your Android device. Everything happens on-device: your conversations, your questions, your data — nothing ever leaves your phone. 🔒 TRULY PRIVATE Unlike cloud-based AI assistants, Frand processes everything locally. No accounts needed. No data collection. No analytics. Just you and your AI, completely offline after the one-time model download. 💬 MULTIMODAL CONVERSATIONS Talk to Frand any way you like: • Text — Type your questions naturally • Voice — Record audio or import WAV files for transcription and analysis • Images — Snap a photo or pick from your gallery and ask about it • Hold-to-talk — Switch to voice mode for hands-free conversations 🧠 SMART BUILT-IN SKILLS Frand comes with powerful tools built right in: • Wikipedia — Get instant factual summaries • Web Search — Find current information via DuckDuckGo • Web Fetch — Share a link and Frand reads the page for you • Weather — Check conditions anywhere (open-meteo, no API key needed) • Calculator — Solve math right in the chat • Unit Converter — Length, mass, temperature, volume, and more • Date & Time — Quick timezone and format conversions • More to come... 🎨 MAKE IT YOURS • Two AI models — Frand Dash (fast, lightweight for most devices) or Frand Apex (deeper reasoning, recommended for 12GB+ RAM) • Light, Dark & System themes — Match your device or your mood • Custom avatar — Your name gets a unique, colorful avatar generated on-device • Chat history — Multiple conversations with export to JSON or Markdown • Offline-only Mode — Block all network access with one toggle for total peace of mind ⚡ WORKS ANYWHERE Once the model is downloaded, Frand runs completely offline. On a plane, in the subway, or in areas with poor connectivity — your AI companion is always ready. Network-optional skills (web search, weather, Wikipedia) enable themselves when you're connected and disappear when you go offline. 📱 BUILT FOR ANDROID • Material 3 design with smooth animations • Adaptive layout for phones and tablets • No sign-up, no account, no subscription • One-time download, works forever offline Made with care by Codrlabs in Canada.
