Aether

Aether

A localized AI agent for Android that pairs a polished chat interface with on-device tools, Termux command execution, Skills, MCP, and an optional visual Agent Mode.

Local AI,
built for the phone in your hand

Can you help me connect local tools?
Yes. I can use Termux for shell commands, add Agent Mode when visual interaction is needed, and connect MCP servers from Settings.
Agent Mode

A polished Android agent, not a terminal wrapper

Aether brings a ChatGPT-inspired conversation surface to Android with onboarding, model setup, attachments, message actions, streaming responses, and mobile-first controls shaped in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.

Check whether Termux command access is ready.
I will verify the integration through Termux.

Run real commands through Termux

Aether connects directly to Termux for local Bash execution, file reads, edits, search, and long-running command output without bundling a heavy VM into the app.

Edit MCP Server

Update the transport config and quick action source for this MCP server.

Optional environment variables, one KEY=VALUE per line.

Extend the agent with Skills and MCP

Use Agent Skills for repeatable workflows and connect MCP servers for live docs, search, APIs, GitHub, local files, and other data sources when the task needs more context.

Open Android settings and check permissions.
I will start Agent Mode and use the virtual display for the visual steps.

Agent Mode handles visual interactions

When command-line tools are not enough, Agent Mode can launch a virtual display and drive visual actions such as opening apps, tapping, typing, swiping, and capturing screenshots.

Connect a model provider.

Setup is guided, transparent, and optional

Aether supports OpenAI Responses, OpenAI-compatible providers, Anthropic Messages, and Vertex Express, then keeps local access, Tavily search, Skills, and MCP setup in clear follow-up steps.

Designed like a native app because it is one

Aether keeps the product surface calm and direct: rounded mobile controls, focused setup screens, clear tool status, and action menus that stay close to the conversation.

What users are saying

"Incredible! The UI is GPT-level and the features are unmatched. Letting AI take over SSH to debug and deploy on remote servers feels so smooth. Just a pity my Vivo is hard to root, so I can't use the full on-device features. Full support!""太牛了,界面和gpt差不多,功能上更是无敌,感觉用着很舒服,直接让ai 接管ssh,可以远程到服务器上debug和布置任务,就是可惜我vivo有点难root,没法用端侧的全功能,支持支持"
