Platforms & Sync
How ARMES synchronizes across Web, PWA, and native iOS beta with Siri Shortcuts, Live Activities, and biometric protection.
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 deep Apple platform integrations:
- Control Center & Lock Screen Quick Actions: Instant "Ask ARMES" prompt and "New Chat" controls on iOS 18 Control Center, Lock Screen, and Action Button.
- Dynamic Island & Live Activities: Real-time thinking glyphs, token streaming, and completion checkmarks with deep-link navigation directly into active chat threads.
- Apple Intelligence & Siri App Intents: Voice queries with per-agent selection ("Ask ARMES with Deep Research..."), voice note dictation, and structured entity chaining.
- CoreSpotlight Note Indexing: On-device search for notes directly from the iOS Home Screen (strictly opt-in via Settings → Security).
- Face ID & Touch ID App Lock: Biometric startup gate in Settings → Security ensuring your private workspace remains sealed even on an unlocked device.
- 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 your 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.
Keyboard Shortcuts & Hardware Keyboards
ARMES provides a unified, web-safe shortcut architecture across Desktop Web, PWA standalone windows, and iPadOS hardware keyboards (Magic Keyboard and Bluetooth):
iPadOS Discoverability HUD
On an iPad with an external keyboard, press and hold the ⌘ key for 1 second to view the native iOS Discoverability HUD displaying all available commands.
