Offline AI

Offline AI, wherever the work takes you.

hYYa Vault puts a complete AI assistant on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android, and it keeps working when the connection does not. No account, and nothing to configure.

What you type stays on your device unless you turn on an online feature.

The app is free. hYYa Cloud needs a plan. Sign in or sign up with email, no password.
In your browser you get the Cloud engine. Both engines live in the app.

A full working assistant, on the device in your hand

All of it runs on your own device, with or without a signal.

Always within reach

On a plane, on a train, anywhere the signal drops. Once a model is installed, your assistant keeps working.

Set up in one tap

hYYa recommends the model that fits your device. One tap, and it is yours.

Works with Apple Intelligence

On iPhone, iPad and Mac that support it, choose Apple's on-device model, with nothing to download.

A memory that stays yours

hYYa Vault keeps your preferences and context only on your device, and you can edit them anytime.

Reads your documents

Ask your PDFs, photos and files a question, and see where each answer came from.

Delivers finished work

Word reports, Excel workbooks with live formulas, PowerPoint decks with editable charts, and interactive dashboards.

Works with your own tools

Connect your tools through MCP. Every action is shown to you and approved one at a time.

Local by default

Your chats and files live on your device. Delete the app and they are gone, with no server copy.

Construction take-off

Measure real quantities off a vector PDF or AutoCAD DXF, straight to Excel. AI quantity take-off →

Your own AI, in three steps

1

Get the app

Free on the App Store and Google Play, with no account needed.

2

Choose your model

Take the one hYYa recommends. You only need a connection for the download.

3

Go offline

Switch off the connection. Chat, memory, documents and exports carry on.

Your work stays yours

In hYYa Vault, your conversations, documents, memory and files do not reach hYYa’s servers or any third-party cloud AI unless you turn on an online feature. Web Search, Connections and hYYa Cloud stay off until you choose them. See every connection the app can make on the hYYa Vault page and in the Privacy Policy.

Offline AI, answered

What is on-device AI?

AI that runs on your own phone, tablet or computer rather than on a company's servers. Because the model lives on your device, it answers with no internet connection.

What is local AI?

AI that runs on your own device rather than on a company's servers, using a model installed on that device. hYYa Vault is local AI, and it keeps working with no internet.

Is there an AI that works offline?

Yes. hYYa Vault, the on-device engine in the hYYa ai app, runs on your device. Install a model once, and chat, memory, document questions and exports all keep working without a connection.

Is there an offline AI chatbot for iPhone and Android?

Yes. hYYa ai is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad (iOS 26 or later) and on Google Play for Android (8.0 or later, on a 64-bit device). It is also on the Mac App Store for Macs with Apple silicon and macOS 26 or later.

Do I need to download a model?

Usually, yes. hYYa recommends the one that fits your device, and one tap installs it. On iPhone, iPad and Mac that support Apple Intelligence, you can use Apple's on-device model with nothing to download.

How good is offline AI on a phone?

It follows the device. A phone runs a small model, and a Mac with plenty of memory runs a much larger one. hYYa shows the memory each model needs before you choose.

Do I need an account?

No. Chat, documents, exports and take-off all work without one.

Is it free?

Yes. hYYa Vault has no subscription and no one-time unlock. hYYa Cloud, the online engine in the same app, is a paid plan.

Does anything leave my device?

Nothing you type, store or open leaves your device unless you turn on an online feature. The app goes online in a few cases that carry none of your content, such as downloading a model. The hYYa Vault page lists every one.

Can offline AI read my documents?

Yes. Add PDFs, photos and files, ask your question, and see where in the document each answer came from.

Can it make images or use voice?

No. Image generation and voice are hYYa Cloud features, and hYYa Vault has neither.

Is it on Windows or in a browser?

No. There is no Windows build, and a browser tab cannot run a local model. The web app at hyya.ai is hYYa Cloud only.
