Offline AI assistant and survival library that works with no internet. It searches a local database of medical, emergency, and how-to articles to answer questions like treating burns or purifying water, showing the exact source passage for every response.
Survival LLM is a free AI assistant and survival library that runs entirely on your phone and works with no internet. Ask it how to keep food safe in a blackout, treat a burn or purify water: it searches an offline library of medical, emergency, how-to and encyclopedia articles, answers from what it finds, and shows you the exact passage each answer came from.
- Offline and private: the AI model and the library live on your phone. Your questions never leave it, and once set up it works with the internet off.
- Shows its sources: every answer lists the articles it read; tap one to read it yourself, with the cited passage highlighted.
- Built for emergencies: about 500,000 articles in the Essentials download — WikiMed, MedlinePlus, a UK medicines guide, WikEM, Ready.gov, CDC, U.S. military and FEMA survival and first-aid manuals, the USDA canning guide, wikiHow and more.
Set it up while you have internet (the AI model is about 2 GB and the Essentials library about 1.3 GB); after that it needs none.
AI models make mistakes. Every answer shows its sources so you can check.

Release notes
Changelog
0.1.3
Fix the AI dumping raw tool-call text ({"name": "read_article", ...}) as its answer instead of looking articles up: text-written calls are now recovered and run, markup never reaches the screen, and an answer that is only markup falls back to answering with library excerpts. Also caps on-screen article opens at one per answer — asking a question no longer hijacks the screen for every article the AI reads.
0.1.2
Fix a crash when the AI answers with library sources: after it used its search and read tools, the follow-up request could fail with "Failed to parse messages: ... type must be string, but is null". Tool calls are now rebuilt with string-only fields before going back to the model, and the no-tools fallback retries from a clean transcript instead of the failed messages.
0.1.1
Fix download progress during setup: the library and AI-model bars no longer swap places on every update, and multi-part library downloads show one bar labelled with the current part instead of stacking up identical bars.
0.1.0
First Android release. On-device AI chat (llama.cpp) with the offline survival library: full-text search, source citations with a tap-to-read article reader, and resumable, checksum-verified downloads of the AI model and the Essentials library pack.
