100% On-Device & Free

A Clinical Alternative Built for Parents & SLPs

Commercial AAC communication systems cost upwards of $300 and often lock custom elements behind paywalls. Arjie restores the focus to communication.

100% Free & Open

No subscriptions, no hidden feature blocks, no ads. Built under open source and free to distribute, modify, and backup forever.

Absolute Privacy

No user accounts, no cloud sync, and zero external tracking. Speech processing, image downscaling, and audio synthesis happen 100% on-device.

Limitless Customization

Upload photos, select custom hex categories, configure columns and grid dimensions, and search the open ARASAAC pictogram bank.
