Universal Availability
ARMES is engineered as a single, unified workspace that stays seamlessly in sync across all your devices. Whether you are working at your desk or responding to teammates on mobile, your chats, notes, files, instructions, and memory remain identical.
Supported Surfaces
1. Modern Web & PWA (Desktop & Mobile)
- Production URL: armes.ai
- Installable PWA: Open ARMES in Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Brave and select Install App or Add to Home Screen.
- Offline Resilience: Equipped with Serwist service workers and dual-layer local caching to preserve in-progress drafts even during momentary connection drops.
2. Native iOS Client (Public Beta)
The ARMES native iOS app delivers dedicated operating system integrations:
Expand
- Face ID & Touch ID: Optional startup biometrics in Settings → Security ensure your workspace cannot be accessed even if your device is unlocked.
- Siri & App Intents: Use native Apple voice commands to dictate thoughts into ARMES Notes or initiate voice queries with your AI agents:
"Hey Siri, ask ARMES." - Live Activities & Dynamic Island: Follow long-running agent research tasks, multi-step code generation, and stream sessions directly from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
- Content-Free Notifications: Push notifications for collaboration messages never send plaintext or sensitive content through Apple APNs servers. Notifications only indicate a new encrypted message awaits decryption inside the app.
Dual-Layer Storage & Sync Architecture
Unlike basic web apps that lose uncommitted text if a mobile browser suspends memory, ARMES implements a hardened persistence model:
- Cloud Source of Truth: All persistent state (messages, notes, files metadata, projects, memory ledger) is stored in Syour secure ARMES Vault.
- Dual-Layer Local Drafts: In the native iOS WKWebView, the OS can evict local storage when memory pressure occurs. ARMES dual-writes active drafts to both local storage and native OS storage, guaranteeing your active drafts survive app suspensions.
