Installation of Syndaris

System Requirements

To ensure Syndaris works reliably and smoothly, your smartphone should meet the following requirements:

Android 14 or newer
At least 6 GB free storage space (app, AI model, and future updates)
At least 8.0 GB RAM
Internet connection only for downloads, updates, and optional online AI functions
A powerful smartphone is recommended for offline AI.
Note: Since Syndaris runs the AI directly on your device, older or underpowered smartphones may exhibit slower performance. Approximately 6 GB free storage space is recommended for installation. After installation, required storage may increase with updates or additional language and AI models.

Later Internet Connection

The Basic version functions exclusively offline after setup. Internet connection is only required for downloads, updates, and optional online AI functions. Plus and Premium models use additional online services and require internet connection for that.

Performance and Temperature

Syndaris was developed and optimized for modern Android devices starting from Android 14. On most smartphones with Android 14 or newer, the app runs reliably without special restrictions.

Since the offline AI performs many calculations directly on the device, increased processor load and mild device heating may occur — especially during long conversations or on older or underpowered smartphones. This is completely normal for locally executed AI models.

Recommendation for Older Smartphones

If you are using an older or underpowered smartphone, we recommend using a Plus or Premium model. In this case, intensive AI requests are processed online, relieving your device and resulting in faster responses in general.

Installation Instructions

1. Download App

The easiest way to install Syndaris is directly on your smartphone.

Open our website with your smartphone or
Scan the provided QR Code.
The download of the installation file (APK) starts automatically afterwards.

Android may indicate that apps from the internet might be potentially harmful.

This warning is completely normal, since the download does not come from an app store.

Confirm the download only if you downloaded Syndaris directly from syndaris.de.

The Syndaris_Founding_1-0-0.apk is now in your Downloads folder on your smartphone.

2. Start Installation

After downloading, open the installation file in your Downloads folder and follow Android’s instructions.

If Android indicates your browser or file app does not allow installing unknown apps, open Settings and enable “Allow apps from this source”.

Return to the downloaded APK and restart the installation.

Since Syndaris is not available via an app store, but directly via our website, Android may display an additional security warning.

Don’t worry – this is completely normal.

Please confirm the installation and follow the further on-screen instructions.

After successful installation, you will find Syndaris like any other app on your smartphone and can open it there.

3. First Start

After the first start, the setup assistant opens automatically.

You will receive the following prompt:

4. Download AI Model

At first start, no AI model is installed yet.

A popup window with the message Download model will appear.

Once you confirm, the download starts automatically. The download and setup typically take
