| # LabRat 1.0.0 (Android APK) | |
| LabRat is an offline research assistant for Android: the language model (Qwen3 1.7B), the search model and 13 knowledge packs come inside this one APK. The app has no internet permission. Source code and build instructions: https://github.com/r4topunk/labrat-boar-fork (built from commit dcc515fc). | |
| ## Install (no computer needed) | |
| 1. On the phone, download `LabRat-1.0.0.apk` (3.04 GB) from this page. | |
| 2. Open it and allow your browser or file manager to "install unknown apps" when Android asks. Play Protect may warn that the app is unknown; choose to install anyway. | |
| 3. Open LabRat. The first launch unpacks the data inside the APK (about 12-16 s on a Pixel 8a) during a short tour. Nothing is downloaded; airplane mode is fine. | |
| Needs Android 8 or newer, about 6-9 GB of free storage during install, and a phone with 8 GB of RAM or more is recommended. | |

| ## Knowledge packs | |
| The 13 packs and their licences are listed in the app (Settings, About, Credits) and in the repo's docs/PACKS.md. The pack files are in https://huggingface.co/datasets/r4topunk/boar-packs. | |
