No Nimbus account required. Optional cloud inference. No telemetry. Models you choose are downloaded to your device and run locally. Processing stays on your phone unless you explicitly enable optional network features (such as web search or a BYOK cloud provider in Cirrus). Purchase Nimbus8 Pro once through Apple In-App Purchase.
