Does Snor work without internet?
Yes, Snor runs GGUF and LiteRT-LM models completely on-device. No internet connection is required for local inference after the initial app and model download.
What GGUF models are supported?
Snor supports GGUF models with Vulkan GPU acceleration. Tested models include Phi-3, TinyLlama, Gemma 2B, and various Llama 3 variants in Q4_K_M and Q5_K_M quantization levels.
Is my data private with Snor?
Absolutely. Your chats, settings, and models remain on your device unless you explicitly choose to use cloud API fallback. Even in cloud mode, API keys are stored locally and transmitted only to the chosen provider.
How do I install Snor?
Download the APK from snor.site and open it on any Android 8.0 or newer device, then allow installs from your file manager when prompted. Pick the build that matches your device ABI: ARM64, armeabi-v7a or x86_64.
Does Snor send my prompts to a server?
Not unless you turn on cloud mode yourself. Local inference runs entirely on your device. In cloud mode, requests go directly from your device to the provider you selected, and your API key is stored locally.
Can I use my phone as a local AI server?
Yes. Any LiteRT-LM model loaded in Snor can expose an OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint on your local network, so other apps and tools on your Wi-Fi can use it. An ngrok or Cloudflare tunnel is optional if you need access from outside your network.
