What it does

A real chess app with AI opponents — not just a chat box.

🧠

Andromida engine

Our from-scratch engine — alpha-beta search, a transposition table and an opening book, in a classic and a faster bitboard flavor — adjustable strength, fully offline.

📱

On-device AI

An on-device Gemma model plays without any network, key or per-move cost. Download it once and play anywhere.

🧩

Cloud AI, your key

Face Claude, GPT, Grok, Gemini and more using your own provider API key. The app talks to the provider directly — switch anytime.

💡

Hints & analysis

Ask for a hint, turn on analysis arrows, and review a game move by move with the scrubber.

📄

Save, load & e-mail

Export any game as standard PGN, load a PGN back onto the board to replay it, or attach it to a new e-mail.

♟️

Edit any position

Set up a custom board from piece palettes — side to move, castling and en-passant — then play or analyze from there.

Private by design

Your games and keys stay on your device.

🔐

Keys in the Keychain

Your API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain and sent only to the provider you chose — never to us.

📴

Play fully offline

The Andromida engine and the on-device model run entirely on your device — nothing leaves it.
