Built for iPhone & iPad. Built for privacy.
ARMES consolidates 107+ AI models from 26+ labs into one private app, with deep iOS & iPadOS integration, external hardware keyboard support, 40+ specialist agents, and zero-data-retention inference by architecture.
All the world's intelligence. One private app.
One app replaces $20–110+/mo in AI subscriptions. Every frontier model, every specialist agent, every conversation — private by default.
107+ Models, One Thread
Auto mode routes each task to the optimal model across 26+ AI labs — or switch manually mid-thread without losing context.
40+ Specialist Agents
From an AI C-Suite to Code Architect to Deep Research — agents share your knowledge base and collaborate transparently.
AI Image Generation
ARMES ImageGen transforms ideas into art-directed prompts, then generates images. Multiple models, Auto routing, zero retention.
Context-Aware Workspaces
Command Center with 3-panel multitasking, Projects, persistent files, notes, and keyboard-first navigation (⌘K, ⌘⌥W, ⌘⌥N, ⌘\).
Persistent Files
Upload once, every agent searches and reads it in any chat, forever. Your AI has permanent memory.
People & Messages
Connect with other users and bring AI agents into group conversations — everyone sees the agent, everyone can @mention it.
See it in action.

- 4Tap 'New Chat' to verify instant 1-tap direct launch into a clean conversation with your default agent.
- 5On the Home Screen, add Apple's 'Shortcuts' widget to test 1-tap Home Screen access to 'Search ARMES notes', 'New ARMES chat', and 'Continue ARMES'.
Apple Intelligence & Siri Agent Selection
Test voice queries addressed to specific agents and note creation entity chaining.
- 1Ask Siri: 'Hey Siri, ask ARMES with Deep Research [question]' to verify that BotEntity resolves and routes to the specified agent.
- 2Ask Siri: 'Hey Siri, take an ARMES note about [topic]' to verify note creation and receipt of the returned NoteEntity.
- 3In the iOS Shortcuts app, inspect the ARMES actions to verify NoteEntity output can be passed into subsequent shortcut steps.
Spotlight Note Search & Privacy Toggle
Verify on-device Spotlight note indexing and the in-app privacy toggle.

Third-Party AI Consent & OpenRouter ZDR
Verify explicit third-party AI disclosure modal and OpenRouter Zero Data Retention guarantees before message sending.
- 1Upon new account sign-in, navigate to Chat and attempt to send a prompt.
- 2Observe the modal displaying clear disclosures: inference requests route through OpenRouter with enforced Zero Data Retention (ZDR) and data collection denial, meaning providers do not store prompts or completions after processing and cannot use user inputs for model training.

Demo Account & Fast-Track Review Support
A pre-provisioned demo account with an active Pro subscription is provided in the App Store Connect App Review Notes. All 100+ models, 40+ agents, and workspace features are unlocked for testing.
Private by architecture. Not a setting you turn on.
In a market where every major AI app monetizes user data, ARMES is built on the opposite thesis.
Zero Data Retention (ZDR)
All inference routes through OpenRouter with enforced Zero Data Retention (ZDR) and data collection denial. Providers do not persist prompts or completions after processing.
Zero Model Training
Because data is not stored, model providers cannot use your conversations, documents, notes, or memories to train or tune future foundation models.
No Ads. No Profiling.
No advertising, no data brokering, no behavioral profiling. Revenue comes 100% from transparent subscriptions and credit packs — never from your data.
Encrypted at Rest & Biometrics
Conversations, notes, files, and messages are encrypted at rest with a unique key per conversation. Face ID and Keychain lock the workspace. Encryption is server-side today; end-to-end encryption for messages is on our roadmap.
Your AI, private by default. Full details at armes.ai/privacy
A plan for everyone.
Target persona: the AI Consolidator — paying for 3+ AI subscriptions, juggling tabs and contexts, with FOMO about which model is best.
