Nothing leaves your phone.

pAI runs entirely on your device and never connects to the internet. Nothing leaves your phone. No files, no filenames, no usage data, nothing.

Think of pAI as a safe space for the files you actually want to keep track of. Photos you care about, receipts you’ll need at tax time, the PDF you swore you’d find later. You can lock the whole app behind a 4 digit PIN, Face ID, or your fingerprint, so nobody but you can open it.

What pAI works with

When you import a file or folder, pAI copies it into its own private storage inside the app. pAI only ever touches that copy. The originals in your Photos library, Downloads, or wherever you imported from are never renamed, moved, or deleted.

What pAI stores locally

A small JSON file holding the dates, classifications, and folder structure you’ve built up. Your settings (display name, AI toggles, the hash of your PIN if you set one). That’s it. All of it lives in the app’s sandbox on your phone.

What pAI does not do

No accounts. No sign in. No cloud sync. No analytics. No crash reporting. No ads. No third party SDKs that talk to the internet. The app doesn’t even know your phone has a network.

App lock, PIN, and biometrics

pAI lets you lock the app with a 4 digit PIN, and optionally with Face ID or your fingerprint on top. The PIN is stored as a one way hash on your device, not as the digits you typed. The biometric check happens entirely inside the operating system, and pAI only ever receives a yes or no answer back. Your biometric data never leaves your phone and pAI cannot read it.
