## What it is

CTRL is a native Android app for turning a current situation into a useful draft, explanation, worked example or short exercise. The aim is to make it easier to get started and keep the useful result.

## What it does

Describe what is happening, review the prepared response and make short corrections. Keep outputs and a small amount of context you choose. The alpha can run Gemma on the device after downloading the model, with optional Venice cloud access for testers.

A separate local preview tests preparing and correcting a work update with Koog and Gemma, plus one work preference that can be explicitly remembered, edited or forgotten. Its drafts are temporary and it has no cloud route.

## Current status

A development alpha. Local generation has been checked on an Android emulator; physical-phone performance and usefulness still need testing. Cloud requests are an explicit option, with no silent fallback from local processing. There is no confirmed public store release.
