Droid

Droid is an open-source mobile AI assistant client for Android. You can connect Droid to a local GoingMerry server running on your network to execute local models directly from your mobile phone.

1. Network Configuration​

Since GoingMerry binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) by default, you must configure it to listen on all network interfaces so that your mobile device can reach the host machine.

Set the MERRY_HOST environment variable:

export MERRY_HOST="0.0.0.0"
merry serve

2. Connecting the App​

  1. Install the Droid client on your Android device.
  2. Ensure both your computer and your phone are connected to the same local Wi-Fi network.
  3. Open the Droid settings menu.
  4. Under AI Backend, select Custom Endpoint or GoingMerry Compatibility.
  5. Input the IP address of your host machine: 
    http://192.168.1.50:11434
  6. Select your preferred local model configuration tag (e.g. gemma4) and tap Save.
