True Offline Capability

100% Offline.
Not "offline with asterisks".

No hidden cloud dependencies. No "offline mode, but…" limitations. Bygmind works 100% without internet: photos, video, audio, transcription, project management – all on your device. Sync only when you want.

True offline functionality means:

Your data never leaves your device until YOU decide to share it. No cloud dependencies hiding in the background. No "Pro feature requires internet". No central servers you depend on. Bygmind works in the basement with no signal, on the construction site, in the forest, everywhere – just as completely as online.

Offline-first architecture: Capture local, sync optional

Spotty or no network? No problem. Everything works without LTE or WiFi.

Inspections & Assessments

Continuous on-site documentation, transcription immediately after voice recording – no waiting for cloud processing.

Data Protection-Critical Use Cases

Fragen zu Offline

Yes, 100%. Transcription runs locally on your device via Parakeet and CoreML. No internet connection required, no cloud processing, no API calls.
Very good. Thanks to Apple Neural Engine, quality is comparable to cloud solutions. With accents or background noise there may be occasional minor deviations, but for documentation and dictation, accuracy is excellent.
German, English, French, Italian and 20+ other languages. All languages work with full offline support – no restriction to common languages.
Yes, exactly. You work completely offline. Once you're back online and decide to synchronize, your data syncs with other devices. But: you decide when to sync.
The transcription model takes ~200MB of space (installed with the app download). Your projects and documents are unlimited – modern smartphones have 64GB+.
Locally running LLMs (like Ollama or LM Studio on macOS/Linux) can be connected to the Bygmind Agent. Note: On smartphone this is not yet available, but on macOS/iPad Pro it's possible.

Work anywhere.
Internet optional.
