SurvivalOps

Offline survival intelligence

An offline survival library that answers on your phone.

SurvivalOps keeps the manuals and the language model on the device itself. Put the phone in airplane mode, ask it a question, and it reads the library and answers you, then shows the page it read.

01Positioning

The phone is the part nobody solved

Every other answer asks you to carry a second machine.

Offline survival knowledge is not a new idea. The usual shapes it takes are a Raspberry Pi image, a small server you keep in a case, or a drive full of PDFs you plug into a laptop. All of them work. All of them are one more thing to own, charge, remember and get to.

The phone is already in your pocket. It is already charged, it is already the thing you reach for, and it is the one device that is with you when the situation does not wait for you to go home and boot something. That is the machine this is built for.

  • The usual shape

    A box, a drive, or an image

    A Pi in a case, a mini PC, an SSD of manuals for a laptop. Real work, genuinely useful, and all of it sitting somewhere other than where you are standing.

  • This one

    The phone you already carry

    The library and the model install onto an ordinary Android handset. No second device, no hotspot, no pairing step, nothing to boot before you can ask a question.

02Capability

What it actually does

Three things, and it does them with the radios off.
  • Ask

    Answers from real manuals

    Type a question in plain language. The app searches the library on the device, hands the passages it found to the model, and the model answers from them.

  • Check

    Citations you can open

    Every answer names the document and the page. Tap the citation and the original page opens, so you can read the source instead of trusting the summary.

  • Find

    Maps that still work

    Vector maps and topographic sheets stored on the phone, positioned by GPS. GPS is a receiver, so it keeps working when the network does not.

Labelled cutaway plate of a phone: your question splits into a word search and a meaning search, each returning thirty candidates; the two are ranked together into nine passages; a processor block marked the model reads only these produces an answer whose highlighted line is joined by an amber leader to a cited page drawn as an open book in green. A label along the bottom edge reads all of it on the device.
Pan the plate sideways to read the labels. The whole path a question takes, drawn to the same numbers the app runs on. Nine passages reach the model, and the answer points back at a page that is already on the handset.
  • 1,421Documents
  • 122,509Indexed passages
  • 80,155Pages with indexed text
  • 15Subject packs

What the model is reading from, measured on the reference build. A passage is a few paragraphs of one page, which is the unit the search hands over. The library grows, so these are today's figures rather than a promise about launch day.

03Scale

The same library, sized to the machine

One product at three scales, not three products.

The phone is what this is aimed at, because the phone is the hard problem. It is not the only place it runs. The same documents, the same index and the same citations sit behind a desktop or a laptop as well, and on those machines the model doing the reading can be a great deal larger.

What changes across the three is the size of that model, and nothing else. The library is not cut down to fit a handset. An answer on the phone comes out of the same pages an answer on the desktop came out of, which is what makes this one product rather than three.

One library at three scales, drawn as a field manual plate: a desktop workstation showing a document in phosphor green, a phone showing the same document smaller, and an iPad and iPhone as empty outlines because that tier is not built yet.
One library, three tiers. The documents do not change between them. The model does.
  • Desktop and laptop

    Qwen3.8-27B

    Twenty-seven billion parameters, on a machine with a real graphics card or plenty of memory to spend. This is the tier the project was built and checked against, and it launches alongside the phone build.

  • Android

    Qwen3 and Qwen3.5

    Qwen3.5 at four billion parameters by default, because it is the build that fits the most handsets. Phones with the memory to hold it are offered an eight-billion or nine-billion build as well.

  • iPhone and iPad

    Planned, not built

    Qwen3.5 at four or nine billion parameters, chosen by what the hardware can hold. There is no App Store listing and no date for one, and we are not going to invent either.

04Disclosure

What we are not going to tell you

The claims we could make and will not.

Preparedness marketing runs on numbers nobody checks. We would rather be the site that left them out.

  • We are not quoting you a response time. A model running on a phone battery takes real time to think, and how long depends on the handset. We are working on it, and we will publish the number when it is a number worth publishing.
  • We are not quoting you an accuracy percentage. There is no honest single figure for that, and any site showing you one picked it.
  • We are not telling you this replaces a doctor, a paramedic, or a hospital. It is a library that answers questions and shows its sources. Get real medical care whenever real medical care is reachable.
  • We are not showing you testimonials, because there are no customers yet.
Read this part

SurvivalOps is a reference tool, not a medical provider. It surfaces what the manuals say and shows you where it came from. It does not examine anyone, it does not know your situation, and it is not a substitute for professional medical, veterinary, legal or emergency assistance. When help is available, get help.

05Next step

Want to know when it is ready

One email when there is something to try. Nothing else.

There is no price and no release date yet. When there is, the people on the list hear first, and we will say plainly what works and what does not.
