一 Features 特長
An assistant, not a model playground.
Everything you expect from a modern AI chat, plus the one thing cloud assistants can't offer: it works with your phone's data right on your phone.
Knows your phone
"Am I free at 4?" "Pharmacy near me." "Add Rahul's new number." "Summarise this chat." BentoMind uses
typed tools for contacts, calendar, location and notifications, and you can share any text or chat
to it from other apps.

Up and running in a minute.
Step 01
Download a model
One tap. BentoMind reads your phone's RAM and recommends models that will run well, with a fit badge on every option.

Step 02

Step 03
Let it use your phone, with permission
Switch on only the sources you want: contacts, calendar, location, notifications. Every change it proposes waits for your OK.
opt-in per source · OK / Cancel
四 Privacy プライベート
Private by architecture, not by promise.
The model runs on your phone's CPU, so your questions, chats and personal data are processed in your pocket. Data only crosses the line for things that need the internet, and you control each one.
No account, no chat server
There is nothing to sign up for and no BentoMind backend that sees your chats. We only receive a reply you choose to report.
No ads, analytics or trackers
No tracking SDKs in the app. Your data is never the business model.
Only the minimum, under your control
Web search sends just the query and can be switched off. Nearby places sends an area rounded to about 100 m.
Delete anything
Clear chats, memories and models in the app. Uninstalling removes everything.
Query only → DuckDuckGo, when online. Switch it off any time.
Remote model
Opt-in. Only to a server you add, labelled in chat.
Nearby places (OpenStreetMap), model downloads (Hugging Face) and reports you send us are also user-initiated.

What is an on-device LLM, and why run one on your phone?
An on-device LLM (large language model) is an AI model that runs locally on your phone's own processor instead of on a company's servers. BentoMind runs open-weight local LLMs such as Qwen, Gemma and MiniCPM with llama.cpp, so your prompts and answers stay on the phone unless you choose to send them, it works without internet, and there are no usage limits, accounts or subscriptions.
Is BentoMind a private ChatGPT alternative?
For everyday tasks, yes: chat, summarize, rewrite, translate, brainstorm and ask about your own files, all on your phone and without an account. Phone-sized models (around 1–3B parameters) know less than big cloud models like ChatGPT, so for heavy tasks you can connect your own remote model; those chats are clearly labelled.
Can it read PDFs, photos and files?
Yes. Tap + → Files (or share a file from another app) and BentoMind reads the text of PDFs, .txt, CSV and code files on your phone, so it works with any model, even offline. Text extraction from PDFs needs Android 15 or newer; on older phones, and for scanned PDFs, the first pages are sent as images to a vision model instead. Photos need a vision-capable remote model you connect, such as one running in Ollama or LM Studio; on-device models are text-only for now. BentoMind only gets the files you pick or share, and asks for no storage permission.
How do I share something to BentoMind?
Use the Share button in any app (WhatsApp, Gallery, Files, Chrome…) and pick Ask BentoMind or BentoMind, or select text anywhere and choose Ask BentoMind from the menu. A new chat opens with it attached, with one-tap actions like Summarize, Draft a reply, Dates & tasks and Translate.
Is it really offline?
Yes. After you download a model, chat runs entirely on your phone's processor, and so do local voice input and on-phone tools like contacts and calendar. Try it in airplane mode. Only the features that need the internet (web search, nearby places, remote models, downloading models and sending a report) need a connection.
Which phones does it support?
Today: Android 9 or later on a 64-bit (arm64) phone. We recommend 8 GB of RAM; 6 GB works well with small models (about 1.5 GB or less). On first run BentoMind suggests Qwen3.5 2B on 6 GB+ phones and Qwen3.5 0.8B on phones with less RAM. The app shows a fit badge on every model so you know what will run well. Our reference device is an iQOO Z10 (Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, 8 GB).
Is there an iPhone (iOS) version?
Not yet. BentoMind is in early access on Android first, and an iOS version is planned with the same promise: private, on-device and fully offline. Join early access and we'll tell you when it's ready.
What data does it access?
Only what you switch on in Settings → Permissions: contacts, calendar, location and notifications. BentoMind never asks for your SMS inbox or call history. Data is read on your phone only when you ask a question that needs it, and it is never uploaded. Any edit, delete or new event needs your OK first. See the privacy policy for details.
Is it free?
Yes, early access is free, and there is no account or subscription to sign up for. We may add optional paid extras later, but there will be no ads and your data will never be the business model.
Why isn't it on the Play Store yet?
BentoMind is in early access while we test it on more phones and finish Google Play's review. Want to try it now? Request early access and we'll send you the APK (about 20 MB; models download separately in the app).
Can I use my own server or models?
Yes. Paste any GGUF model link from Hugging Face to run it on-device, or add any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (for example Ollama or LM Studio on your computer, or a hosted API). API keys are encrypted with the Android Keystore, and chats that use a remote model are clearly labelled because those messages go to that server.
An AI that lives on your phone, not in someone's cloud.
BentoMind is in early access on Android. Tell us your phone model and we'll send you a build.
