Miffan

Miffan is an open-source AI workspace designed for Android. Connect the model services you already use, give different assistants their own prompts, memories, tools, and personalities, and keep conversations and files organized in one native app.

Use an API key with OpenAI-compatible, Gemini, or Claude services, or sign in with an eligible ChatGPT subscription for Codex access. Miffan does not bundle a model or replace a provider account; availability and charges depend on the services you configure.

What makes Miffan different

• One home for different models. Mix official APIs, compatible gateways, self-hosted endpoints, and a Codex subscription without rebuilding your workflow around one provider.
• Assistants are real workspaces. Each assistant can have isolated prompts, model parameters, memory, tools, MCP servers, Skills, visual identity, and conversation history.
• The phone can do more than display chat. Miffan can search the web, work with files, run a local Linux workspace, use device capabilities, and expose the same conversations through a browser.
• A character system with purpose. Animated Miffan characters react to time, input, generation, and errors while remaining configurable per assistant.

Download and first setup

Miffan currently distributes signed APKs through GitHub Releases. Official releases target arm64-v8a devices running Android 8.0 or newer.

1. Install the latest Miffan APK.
2. Open Settings → Providers and configure a service, or sign in to OpenAI Codex with a supported subscription.
3. Add or discover a model, then select it globally or for a specific assistant.
4. Enable search, MCP, Skills, local tools, or a workspace only when you need them.

Miffan uses the application ID me.ayuilos.miffan.app and the miffan:// deep-link scheme. Existing RikkaHub data is not shared automatically; export a backup from the old app and import it into Miffan if you want to migrate.

Beginning with 3.0.0-rc.1, Miffan uses an independent SemVer release line that does not encode a RikkaHub version. Official APKs retain the existing package and production signing identity, so 2.4.11-miffan.1 can be upgraded in place without changing the app's data or database compatibility policy. Nightly workflow artifacts use me.ayuilos.miffan.app.nightly and an ephemeral CI debug signer; they install separately and cannot replace an official build. Nightlies are disposable test artifacts, and the signer may change between runs, so in-place upgrades between Nightlies are not guaranteed.

Security and privacy notes

Miffan is a client: prompts, attachments, and tool data are sent to the model, search, speech, MCP, sync, or other endpoints you choose. Review the privacy policy and pricing of every service you configure. The repository's data-flow disclosures are in PRIVACY.md.

Skills, MCP servers, local tools, and workspaces can access external services or device data within their granted scope. Install trusted Skills, inspect tool requests, and enable only the capabilities an assistant needs.

Read SECURITY.md before enabling LAN access, running workspace commands, or handling sensitive credentials.

Build from source

The project uses Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material 3, Gradle, and Java 17.

git clone https://github.com/Ayuilos/Miffan.git
cd Miffan
./gradlew assembleDebug

Useful verification commands:

./gradlew test
./gradlew lint

app/google-services.json is optional. Builds without an authorized configuration keep Firebase analytics and crash reporting disabled. Production signing and release steps are documented in docs/releasing.md.
