Private by design
Aion stores its memory, profile data, and history on your device. When cloud mode is active, only the requests needed for the features you use are sent to the provider you choose.
There is no required Aion chat backend in the current Android app path.
Optional local runtime
For users who want a more on-device setup, Aion also includes an optional local model tier. Local mode is narrower and more experimental than BYOK cloud mode, and performance depends on your device.
Aion is in active beta. The core memory system is real and already usable, but some features are still being polished.
