Box is a security-hardened, feature rich fork of Google AI Edge Gallery — with on-device image generation (FLUX.2 klein & Z-Image Turbo diffusion), Box Assist (spoken camera assistance for blind and low-vision users), AI image upscaling, face recognition, photo erase/inpainting, music & sound generation, voice mode (speech-to-speech AI chat), voice input, multilingual text-to-speech, document analysis and Q&A, vision AI, full GPU and Snapdragon/Tensor/MediaTek NPU acceleration, a hardened security posture (biometric lock, encrypted chat history, tap-jacking protection), llama.cpp support, and GGUF model import — and more

Disclaimer
Box began as a fork of Google AI Edge Gallery and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google LLC. Google branding has been replaced throughout. Box has since diverged substantially from upstream — active merging with upstream stopped some time ago, and upstream has itself since adopted features that originated in Box. Box now carries roughly 50+ features not present in upstream Google AI Edge Gallery. Credit for the original underlying platform goes to Google and the original contributors.
Changelog v1.0.7 – v3.3.2
| Version | Feature | Details |
|---|---|---|
| v3.3.2 | Downloads fixed | Model downloads are reliable again after 3.3.1 — no more failing mid-download or stalling at 100%. A previously stuck model downloads normally on the first try. |
| v3.3.2 | GGUF GPU crash fix (really this time) | The Snapdragon GPU crash fix from 3.3.1 now actually ships in the build. |
| v3.3.2 | Biometric lock + database encryption | The biometric app lock works alongside database encryption again — the two are independent, and the app re-locks when reopened. |
| v3.3.1 | Live Translator (NEW, Sound tab) | Two people, two languages — tap your button, speak, and the other person reads and hears it in their language. Runs on your installed Gemma audio model (E2B/E4B), each phrase translated on its own for flat latency. 24 languages, fully offline. |
| v3.3.1 | 4 new models | Granite 4.0 350M (IBM's tiny fast tier, 468 MB), MiniCPM5-1B in int8 and int4 builds, and experimental Gemma 4 26B (A4B) — Google's mixture-of-experts Gemma for 16 GB+ RAM devices. |
| v3.3.1 | Fixes | GGUF models no longer crash on GPU on some Snapdragon devices (Adreno driver quirk). Rotating or folding the phone no longer unloads the model. Custom-ROM: TPU/GPU chat works again on de-Googled devices (GrapheneOS). |
| v3.3.0 | 🦯 Box Assist — a camera that talks (NEW) | Spoken camera assistance for blind and low-vision users, under the Core tab. Live mode calls out people, obstacles and objects with how close they are; Reading mode reads mail, labels and menus aloud; Describe mode describes the scene, spoken as it thinks; voice questions — double-tap, ask out loud, and Box answers against what the camera sees. One download bundles everything (vision models + the Describe brain + speech recognition). Continuous autofocus with pre-capture focus sweeps, automatic flashlight in the dark, a blur check on Reading, physical volume-button controls, hold-to-repeat, TalkBack coexistence, |
