## What is Komodo?

The AI that lives in your pocket — and stays there by default.

Komodo runs real large language models entirely on your iPhone. No accounts.
No cloud of ours. No subscription. Your chats, your character cards, and your
files stay on the device by default — Komodo keeps working in airplane mode,
on a mountain trail, or halfway across the world.

FREE, FOREVER
• Curated catalog of on-device AI models, matched automatically to your
  iPhone's chip and memory
• Apple Intelligence foundation model support (iPhone 15 Pro and later)
• Chat, roleplay, coding help, writing, translation and summarizing
• Character cards for scripted roleplay personas
• Attach PDFs, photos and text as conversation context — OCR included
• Power-user tuning per model: creativity, context window, memory budget

KOMODO PRO — ONE-TIME UNLOCK, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION
• Import any custom Hugging Face MLX model — pick your own quantization
• Import SillyTavern character cards (.json / .png)
• Family Sharing included — six people, one purchase
• Nothing you already added is ever locked away: Pro guards only adding
  new custom content

BUILT FOR REAL DEVICES
Komodo knows what your iPhone can handle. It sizes every model to your chip
and memory, warns before risky ones, and backs off gracefully instead of
crashing. Model downloads need Wi-Fi (a framework limitation); chat runs on
cellular and fully offline afterwards. The layout is written for the whole
iPhone line, including both poses of iPhone Duo: the tab rail moves to the
side and a chat takes the second pane when the hinge opens.

PRIVACY ISN'T A FEATURE, IT'S THE ARCHITECTURE
Komodo collects nothing — not analytics, not diagnostics, not identifiers, and
there is no account to link them to. Chats are answered on the device. Three
things can leave it, and each is a switch you flip: model downloads from
huggingface.co, the web-search globe inside a chat, and remote endpoints you
configure yourself. The one-page privacy policy names all three; that is the
whole story.

Komodo Pro is an optional one-time purchase ($3.99). It unlocks the features
above forever.
Payment is handled by Apple; manage or refund anytime in your App Store
account. No data collection. No tracking. No fine print.
