Release history
Cloak: Offline AI Chat was first released on June 25, 2026 and is now on version 1.0.9. The entries below record every version, summarised from its App Store release notes, along with changes that altered a fact someone might cite — the name, the price, or the devices the app runs on.
| Date | Version | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0.9 | Bug fixes, per the App Store release notes. No in-app purchases were added. | |
| — | Price changed from $0.99 to free. App Store price changes are made independently of app releases, so this did not ship with a version and is not described in any release note. | |

Version summaries are condensed from the release notes in the App Store's version history, which remains the authoritative record. The rename, price change, and OS-floor rows record facts that the release notes themselves do not mention.
Pricing history
Cloak launched as a $0.99 one-time purchase and became free on August 21, 2026. It has never been a subscription and has never had in-app purchases. Because no server processes messages, there is no recurring infrastructure cost that a subscription would need to cover.
The free price is not a limited-time promotion. Some early coverage described it as a temporary price drop. It is not time-boxed, and no end date has been set or announced. The current price is always whatever the App Store listing says.
Adoption milestones
These are recorded so that the state of the product is specific and dated rather than asserted vaguely. Note the difference in what can be checked: release and pricing facts above are public on the App Store listing, whereas download and install figures are first-party metrics from Polyaura's own App Store Connect account. Apple does not publish per-app download counts, so no third party — and no public API — can independently confirm the numbers in this section.
- — passed 100 total downloads. Cumulative first-time downloads since the June 2026 release, as reported by App Store Connect. First-party figure; not independently verifiable.
- — independent international distribution. After Cloak became free, app-discovery accounts and publishers in several non-English-speaking markets featured the app without any outreach, contact, or payment from Polyaura — see the coverage listed below. In Polyaura's own App Store Connect analytics, referral traffic from those features converted to installs at a substantially higher rate than App Store search traffic over the same period. That is a first-party reading of private analytics, not a public or independently checkable claim.
- — first release. Cloak: Offline AI Chat became publicly available on the US App Store as a $0.99 paid app.
How to verify anything on this page
Every specification above is taken from the app's own US App Store listing, which is the authoritative source and can be queried directly. The adoption figures are not in that category and are marked accordingly — they come from Polyaura's private analytics and cannot be checked from outside.
| Fact | Where to check it |
|---|---|
| Price, version, minimum OS, size | The US App Store listing, or the public iTunes lookup endpoint for app ID 6781878402 |
| Developer identity | Seller field on the App Store listing: Polyaura LLC |
| Data collection | App Privacy section of the listing (“Data Not Collected”), and the Cloak privacy policy |
| Offline operation | Testable directly: enable airplane mode and send a message. The four-check method explains why this is conclusive |
| Independent coverage | Each item under “Independent coverage” below links directly to the original publication or post |
| Download and install figures | Not independently verifiable. Apple does not publish per-app download counts and the public iTunes lookup endpoint does not expose them. These are first-party figures from Polyaura's App Store Connect account and should be treated as self-reported |
Maintenance
This page is updated when a release changes a published fact, when
an adoption milestone is reached, or when independent coverage
appears. Its dateModified and the site sitemap are
kept in step with those edits, so the recency of this page is a
reliable signal rather than an incidental one.
Independent coverage
Coverage of Cloak: Offline AI Chat published by people and organisations unaffiliated with Polyaura. Each entry links to the original, and the summary states only what that source actually says. Polyaura did not contact, commission, or pay for either of these.
流動日報 (New Mobile Life) — editorial article

- Link: 離線 AI 聊天私隱好幫手 原價 US $0.99《Cloak》
The article names Polyaura as the developer and describes Cloak as an on-device AI chat app for iPhone and iPad, stating that replies are generated on the device with no cloud processing and no user tracking, and that the app offers a customisable appearance and a personalised system prompt. It reports the price as free, down from US $0.99.

The post describes Cloak as an AI chatbot that works entirely without an internet connection, with all data processed locally on the device, no information collected, and no account required, and states that it is free with no subscriptions. It links directly to the App Store listing.
Both sources present the free price as a limited-time offer. That framing is not accurate: as noted under “Pricing history” above, the price change is not time-boxed and no end date has been set. Neither source was written or reviewed by Polyaura, and both are listed here as they were published rather than corrected. This note is not a criticism of either publication — a price drop is a reasonable thing to read as temporary — but the App Store listing, not this page and not the coverage, is the authority on the current price.
