KULVEX is the official client for connecting to your self-hosted KULVEX server: an autonomous AI platform that lives on your own infrastructure, not in the cloud. Built for people who want the power of modern AI without handing their data to third parties, KULVEX lets you chat with intelligent assistants, control your connected home and run custom agents — all pointing at the server you choose. KEY FEATURES • Local-first AI chat against your own KULVEX server • On-device models available for offline use • Unified smart home control: lights, climate, solar, security, cameras • Custom agents with tools, voice mode and tailored instructions • Voice input with on-device speech recognition • Camera and QR for fast server access • Face ID to unlock the app and authorize sensitive actions • Offline mode unlocks after your first successful sign-in • Apple Silicon support with MLX acceleration PRIVACY BY DESIGN KULVEX is a pure client: the app connects only to the server you specify. We don't send your data to third parties, we don't collect analytics, we don't operate a backend. Voice transcription happens on-device using Apple's local engine. REQUIREMENTS KULVEX is a server client. You need access to a KULVEX server (on your local network, on your own infrastructure, or via a compatible instance). Learn more about deploying your own server at kulvex.ai. Designed on Apple Silicon, optimized for iPhone.
