Description

Russet brings private, powerful AI to iPhone and iPad. By default, chats run fully on-device—with no message tracking—and downloadable models optimized for Apple hardware work completely offline. When you want access to more models, you can optionally connect OpenRouter and OpenAI in a clean, native interface designed for privacy, focus, and flow.

Features
- Flexible chats: Choose on-device or optional OpenRouter models, adjust response style, branch or lock chats, and analyze PDFs and images.
- Text-to-speech: Import speeches generated in custom voices from Russet for Mac.
- Agent: Work with health data, schedules, contacts, and files through system-aware automation.
- Flow: Summarize, rewrite, debate, label, and translate text—even offline.
- Intelligent Templates: Get instant briefings powered by your calendar.
- Interactive stories: Create and explore text-based adventures in Agent > Game.
- Offline-ready: Core AI features work without an internet connection; OpenRouter access is optional and requires connectivity.
- Multilingual: Supports 13 written and spoken languages.
