## What is Offline AI?

Survivalist.AI is an offline AI assistant and chatbot contained entirely on your iPhone or iPad. That means you have access to useful information anywhere you are without the need for internet.

You can use Survivalist.AI while on a plane, at sea, under the ocean, hiking and camping in remote locations, and even in outer space.

Some of the things you can ask the AI chat bot:

• What to do when I get stung by a bee
• Summarize this pasted article
• Give me some bodyweight exercises to do
• Tell me a scary story
• Write me a campfire song
• Give me a recipe for blueberry muffins
• Write me a short resignation letter
• Coding questions like: "give me python code for the fibonnaci sequence"
• Excel questions like: "what is the formula to determine if a number is prime"
• Explain the following code...

We are committed to user privacy. Conversations stay private on your device and are not transmitted anywhere. This is a benefit of having an AI virtual assistant and chatbot running on your phone and not in other computer networks.

We carefully curate the Large Language Models (LLMs) that run within the capabilities of your device. These models are trained on billions to trillions of tokens and are extremely processor and memory intensive. As a result, Survivalist.AI works best on the newest iPhones and iPads with 6GB+ of RAM.

Survivalist.AI offline chat bot includes the ability to use the following LLMs:

TinyLlama, Qwen2, Phi-2, Phi-3, Phi-3.5, Ministral 8B, Mistral 8B, Llama 3, Llama 3 Coder, Llama 3.1, Llama 3.1 Coder, Llama 3.2 3B, Gemma 2 2B, Gemma 2 9B, DeepSeek R1

Phi-2 is included in the download as the default AI model.

Llama 3 Coder and Llama 3.1 only run on iPads with 16GB RAM.

If you find the app is unresponsive or very slow, please restart it.

Please read our terms of service before installing and using this app.

Output that Survivalist.ai generates may not be accurate or true due to limitations of the AI model.

App has been tested to work on:

iPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, 16, 16 Pro
iPad 12.9" Pro Gen 3, Gen 5, Gen 6
iPad 11" Pro Gen 3, Gen 4
iPad Air Gen 5

### 1/5 — Freeze and crash

*2025-11-06*

I want to like this app. It worked one day for a brief moment. Every time I try to use it, the screen freezes and eventually the app will crash. I’ve checked for updates, tried reinstalling and no such luck.

### 1/5 — Crashing Mess

*2025-09-14*

All this app does is crash. I’m using both iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad Pro 13 inch M4. On both of those devices all it does is crash. Save your money for something that actually works. Sad because it’s local, but even with the high end specs it is just useless.

### 1/5 — Crash is more than it works

*2025-06-24, version 2.0*

This app is absolute trash. I really wanted to like it and have it on my phone in case of the catastrophe but the app barely works it just crash constantly. What a shame.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing. Unusable

*2025-06-23*

Keeps crashing

**Developer response:** If you could let us know which version iphone you're using, which AI model, and where/when the app crashes that would be super helpful to our devs.

### 2/5 — Getting crashes and it’s slow

*2025-06-17*

iPhone 13PM. Day 3 of minimal use and I’m getting crashes. It’s also slow between pressing enter and getting a response. Not sure about it.

### 5/5 — Scoutmaster

*2025-02-16*

Really handy for my Troop when we go camping.

### 5/5 — Me bought them when it’s all we had to or currency! (🤭🤫😉💋🫶🏻🏳️‍⚧️💖♻️)

*2024-12-07*

Please to meet you! Hope you guess our name!

Because we know and you know and that’s all that matters! Hopefully we can remember your teachings and put them to the correct use like you know we will!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review and Stones quote. They rock!
We've updated our engine and text generation is now faster. We hope you like the app.

### 5/5 — Best Offline AI app

*2024-10-09*

This is a brilliant little app. You can access the power of AI in your pocket without an Internet connection. You choose between different models and it comes with an easy to understand guide to promoting the AI model.

### 5/5 — Epic offline AI this will be quite useful 👍🏻👍🏻

*2024-08-07*

Excellent application thanks you for the work

### 5/5 — A Handy Digital Swiss Army Knife

*2024-08-02*

Wow!! I’m loving how simple and practical this app is to look up information! Works without issue and always answers my questions thoroughly— the fact that it works offline is what sets it apart. My daughter is always asking me to look up answers for her endless questions about the world and this app is just what we needed for those long car rides and flights without internet. Well made!
