Problem
Mobile users who want AI chat assistance must rely on cloud-based services that require constant internet connectivity, user accounts, and ongoing subscription fees, raising concerns about privacy, data security, and cost.
Solution

By embedding the model on the device, Cloak provides offline conversational capabilities without any need for cloud servers, internet access, or user accounts. The app is sold as a one-time purchase, eliminating recurring subscription costs. Users can personalize the assistant by editing the system prompt, tailoring responses to their preferences while keeping all conversation data stored locally and never transmitted. This approach ensures full privacy, zero tracking, and continuous availability regardless of network conditions.
