Built for
An AI that travels with you, and stays on your phone.
Travelers
Confidential
For doctors, lawyers, journalists, business
Confidentiality matters. Voice, photos, documents and chat history never leave the device — there is no cloud to leak to.
AI-curious
For AI-curious users
A real local LLM in your pocket. Streamed answers, reasoning toggle, creativity slider — no remote server, no per-message AI fees.
Inside the app
Four screens, one promise — keep AI in your pocket.
Real screenshots, with the parts that matter highlighted. Tap a card to jump into that mode below.
The signature feature
A complete voice loop. Offline, end to end.
Mic, language detection, translation, and spoken playback all happen on your phone. Not transcription, not text-only — a real "speak and hear" experience.
"It works on a plane, in an airport before Wi-Fi, in the mountains, on a cruise, on the metro, and in any country without a local SIM card."
On-device
- 1 Mic captures your phrase
- 2 Language is detected automatically
- 3 Local LLM translates the meaning
- 4 Translation is spoken aloud
No network calls during this loop.
Privacy by architecture
Your voice, photos, and documents never leave the phone.
The AI runs locally. The internet is used once — to download the AI model. After that, Salut works in airplane mode and stays there.
On-device LLM
No content telemetry
Safe for medical & legal work
No request leaves the device
Translation prompts, audio, photos and PDF attachments are processed inside the app's own AI process.
No third-party AI provider
There is no cloud inference fallback. If the network is off, the AI still works.
Network used only to download a model
After that, you can flip on airplane mode and keep using Salut as-is.
Four modes, one app
Built for the situations real travelers and pros run into.
Translate
Type or speak. Get the translation back as text and as audio.
Mirror
Place the phone between you. Each side speaks in their language and hears the translation aloud.
Chat
A private AI assistant. Attach photos, audio, and PDFs. Streamed answers.
Plus a Settings tab for languages, theme, AI model, screen orientation and audio behavior.
Multimodal input
It sees, listens, and reads — even handwriting.
Attach photos, audio recordings, PDFs and text documents to chat. The camera is built right in. Salut understands the contents — including handwritten text — and answers in plain language. All offline.
- → Read a chalkboard cafe menu in another language.
- → Decode a pharmacy leaflet's small print.
- → Summarize a multi-page rental contract PDF.
A real AI on your phone
Not a phrasebook. A modern Gemma 4-class language model.
It understands idioms, long context, tone and intent. Translation quality is noticeably higher than classic offline dictionaries.
Idiom handling
strike the road time to leave
"hit the road" — translated by meaning, not word-by-word.

Real situations
Six stories you might recognize.
The plane
Long-haul flight, layover, airplane mode. Open Mirror, place the phone between you and your seatmate — each side speaks their own language and hears the translation.
The airport with no SIM
Just landed. No local SIM, no Wi-Fi without a local phone number. Salut speaks "Where can I get a taxi to the city center?" in the local language.
The handwritten cafe menu
A chalkboard menu in another language. Snap a photo in chat — Salut reads the handwriting and translates dish by dish.
Privacy critical
At a hospital while travelling
You fall ill abroad and end up at a local clinic. Mirror mode, phone on the desk between you and the staff. Symptoms stay on the device — your medical data never lands on a foreign hospital's network.
The PDF contract in a foreign language
Attach the rental contract PDF in chat. Get a summary of key clauses — without sending the file to any third-party server.
The off-grid hike
A multi-day trek, no coverage. You speak into Salut, the local guide hears their language; they answer, you hear yours.
How Salut is different
All the AI magic, none of the cloud.
vs. cloud translators with thin offline modes
Most translators are powerful only online. Salut is built the other way around: voice loop, photos, documents and chat all run on the phone after a one-time model download.
vs. cloud AI assistants
Cloud assistants need a constant connection and a paid subscription for their best models, and your prompts and attachments end up on third-party servers. Salut delivers a similar smart-assistant experience, on the device.
vs. hobbyist local-LLM apps
Local AI apps for tinkerers can run an LLM, but lack translator UX, mirror mode, voice loop with TTS, and built-in handling of photos and PDFs. Salut is the finished product.
Hardware AI acceleration
Salut taps the full AI muscle of your phone.
Salut runs on CPU on every device and uses GPU acceleration on phones that support it. The runtime taps into your phone's full AI capabilities — including additional accelerators where supported by the model — so answers come back quickly and voice playback stays smooth, even on complex languages.
CPU
Always on
Reliable on every modern phone, no extra setup.
GPU
Boosted
Faster inference and smoother voice on supported devices.
Auto-pick
The fastest available path
Salut benchmarks each AI model against your hardware on first launch and, when you choose a model, automatically routes inference to whichever combination gives the smoothest result on your device.
Each model is checked against your hardware so Salut picks the fastest path automatically.
FAQ
Common questions, answered.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only once — to download the AI model. After that, Salut works fully offline: translation, voice, spoken playback, chat, photos, and documents.
How big is the AI model?
It depends on the model you pick. The app shows the exact size before download and offers options for different storage budgets.
How many languages are supported?
The catalog has 70+ working languages. Each one shows the real percentage of successful translations on a fixed test set so you can see expected quality up front. Numbers are capped at 95% to stay conservative.
Does it really work on a plane and without a SIM?
Yes. After the model is downloaded, no internet connection is required for translation, voice input, or playback.
Is it private?
Yes. The AI runs locally on your phone. Voice, photos, documents, and text never leave the device. The network is only used to download the AI model and app updates.
Is there a subscription?
No subscription is required to translate. The core experience — translation, voice, chat, photos and documents — stays free after a one-time model download. Salut is supported by a small banner ad at the bottom of the screen, and a future release may offer an optional in-app purchase or subscription that removes the banner and unlocks extra features.
Does voice work fully offline, including playback?
Yes. Voice input, translation, and spoken output all work offline.
Does Salut understand handwritten text?
Yes. Take a photo of a note, a menu, or a leaflet — Salut reads handwriting and translates the meaning, not just the characters.
Which devices give the best speed?
Modern Android phones with a capable GPU. Salut uses CPU and GPU acceleration and taps into your phone's full AI capabilities — on recent flagships, voice translation typically starts within a fraction of a second.
The AI that travels with you.
And stays on your phone.
Free to translate after a one-time model download. No cloud, no roaming, no AI usage fees.
