Show HN: Aide – A customizable Android assistant (voice, choose your provider) (aideassistant.com)
4 points by yincrash 5 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Aide is an Android app that replaces your default digital assistant. It can register as your default assistant, so corner-swipe and power-button-hold summon it instead of the Google assistant.

I wanted to do something other than Google, but ChatGPT and Claude's integration couldn't do anything on device, so I built this.

Bring your own key for Claude, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM). Keys are encrypted on-device; conversations go straight to your provider.

Free: chat on any provider, multi-provider switching, web search + URL fetching as built-in tools, custom system prompt, markdown.

Pro ($6.99 launch week, $9.99 after, one-time): voice input + streaming TTS, voice-first overlay, photo/file attachments, device actions (SMS/calendar/alarms, every intent confirmed), screen context, Home Assistant integration.



Feel free to ask me any questions about the app.
