Losing internet access should not mean losing access to useful assistance.

Offline Companion is a native iPhone prototype built for moments when connectivity disappears: a woman traveling alone in an unfamiliar place, a hiker beyond cellular coverage, or two people trying to find each other nearby.

At its core, Meta Llama 3.2 runs directly on the phone. After the initial model download, users can ask questions, work through simple decisions, draft check-in messages and receive supportive responses without sending their prompts to a cloud inference service.

The app brings that assistance together with practical offline tools: named GPS meeting points, a compass pointing toward a saved place, a bundled map of central Auburn and the university area, and experimental walking directions. Two people can scan a private QR, accept an invitation and exchange location updates over encrypted Bluetooth while within range. Their last received position remains visible when the connection is lost.

Voice input and read-aloud support more accessible interaction. An experimental local photo mode adds basic visual descriptions, with recognition limitations clearly identified.

The prototype was developed and tested on an iPhone 13, grounding the project in an existing consumer device rather than a cloud-only demonstration. Offline text answers, read-aloud, basic photo recognition and the QR invitation flow have been demonstrated on physical phones.

The purpose is simple: make useful intelligence and tools for staying oriented available when connectivity cannot be assumed. This prototype does not transmit SOS messages or dispatch rescue, and Bluetooth range, model accuracy and iOS background limits remain explicit constraints.
