Editorial visualization of the documented project flow. This is not a source screenshot or a running application.

01Native interface

SwiftUI is the active iPhone interface. The older Electron app is reference material.

02Local model experiments

Diagnostics check model availability and language support; those capabilities require real-device validation.

03Private conversation flow

WebKit transport and local-first storage are experimental. No WhatsApp pairing or real messages are requested here.

An explanatory walkthrough of the documented project—not a recreation of its original user interface. See the source for implementation details.

Translation close to the conversation

This project explores an Indonesian–Polish translation experience on Apple devices, with a native iPhone interface and local-first storage. The active development branch is apple; the older Electron implementation is retained as reference material.

Current engineering focus

The repository documents SwiftUI screens, WebKit experiments around WhatsApp Web transport, and experiments with Apple Foundation Models. It includes diagnostics for model availability and a synthetic translation benchmark.

These are implementation and validation goals, not a claim that every device supports both languages or that translation quality has been proven. The project explicitly requires testing on suitable physical hardware rather than relying on simulator success.

Showing the real application

A faithful exhibit requires screenshots or a recording of the native app using synthetic conversations. The walkthrough on this page summarizes the documented components; it is not the native app running in your browser.

This is a source-available experiment, not an official WhatsApp product, and is not affiliated with WhatsApp, Meta, Apple, or OpenAI.
