Your machines,
from your pocket.
Varta for Android is the client for everything the platform runs. Agent calls arrive as real calls. Agents working on your machines reach you when they need a decision. And when there's no signal, a model on the phone itself picks up the conversation.

Built for the moments you're away from the desk.
Calls that behave like calls
Varta registers with Android's telecom stack as a self-managed calling app. That means lock-screen answer, Bluetooth and car audio routing, and your music ducking — all the things the OS already does well and an app can't fake.
Decide from anywhere
When an agent on one of your machines hits something it shouldn't do unsupervised, it asks. You get a notification with the change summarised and two buttons. Not a diff — a diff on a phone is not a decision aid.
A brain that works offline
A 4-billion-parameter model runs on the phone itself through llama.cpp. Prompt, history and generation never leave the device. Useful in a basement, a flight, or anywhere you'd rather it stayed local.
New features without a new release
The app renders whatever the server declares. When the platform grows a capability, the buttons for it appear — no Play Store update, no waiting on a rollout.
What it asks for, and why.
Every permission below maps to one feature. If you don't use the feature, you can deny the permission and the rest of the app keeps working.
Full data safety disclosureMicrophone
RECORD_AUDIOTo carry your side of a call. Audio is captured only while a call is active and the foreground-service notification is showing.
Manage own calls
MANAGE_OWN_CALLSTo place agent calls through Android's telecom stack so they ring, route to your car, and answer from the lock screen.
Notifications
POST_NOTIFICATIONSTo reach you when an agent needs a decision. Without it, approvals wait until you next open the app.
Network access
INTERNETTo talk to the Varta platform. The app refuses any server-supplied URL that could point somewhere other than your own orchestrator.
