Fair questions. Straight answers.

Yes. The AI model downloads once (about 3.7GB), then everything — parsing, writing, checking — runs on your phone's own processor. Turn on airplane mode and generate a resume; it works. The only thing Kivo ever fetches is a public job page you shared, and only when you share a link instead of text.

A deterministic checker — real code, not AI judging itself — that traces every claim in your documents back to facts you confirmed. Rewording your real experience passes. An invented number, credential, or skill gets flagged, and unsupported claims are blocked from export until you fix or remove them.

Three complete application kits — resume, cover letter, interview prep, PDF export, everything. No feature gates inside them, and finished kits never lock afterward. If Kivo earns a place in your search, one purchase unlocks unlimited kits forever.

Android first, launching on Google Play. On-device AI is real work for a phone, so a recent device with 8GB+ of RAM gives the best experience. iPhone comes later.

A few minutes per posting — your phone is genuinely thinking, not calling a server. Queue several and let them run in the background; Kit sends one notification when the batch is done.

In an encrypted database inside the app on your device. There's no account, no sync, and no server-side copy anywhere. Settings has a delete-everything button, and uninstalling removes it all — there is nothing else to delete, because nothing ever left.

Because Kivo has no cloud bills to pass on to you — your phone does the computing. Job searches end; a subscription shouldn't outlive yours. Pay once, keep it forever, use it again in five years if you need it.

On-device models are the fastest-improving corner of AI — Kivo runs Google's Gemma, purpose-built for exactly this. And Kivo doesn't ask the model to know everything; it asks it to write well from YOUR facts, then checks the output with deterministic code. Small model, tight leash, honest output.

The Gemma model is provided by Google under the Gemma Terms of Use — shown in the app before download. Kivo itself never trains on your data; nothing leaves the device to train with.

Yes — to a file you create and control, stored wherever you choose. Restoring it on a new phone brings your whole profile and history with you. No cloud account involved.
