What is it?

Jenny is an Android app with an embedded Python 3.11 runtime that runs a personal AI agent on the phone itself. It can register as the HOME activity, and a foreground service keeps it running with the screen off so it can send scheduled reminders and proactive messages. Conversations, memory and files are stored in the app's private storage.

The agent builds a Markdown-based memory from recent conversations, and a built-in llm-wiki skill compiles articles, notes and PDFs into cross-linked wiki pages. Users can describe a mini-app in chat and the agent generates its UI, actions and storage, with each action callable as a tool, including from scheduled jobs. It also reads and writes files, executes Python, and searches the web through a hidden Chrome WebView.

You supply your own API key for a hosted provider, or point it at a local model through Ollama or LM Studio to run fully offline. The project is a fork of nanobot and is licensed under AGPL-3.0. It is sideloaded as an APK for Android 8.0 or newer, with no Play Store listing.
