Offline-first computing

The internet, without the internet.

ACID systems carry offline copies of Wikipedia, world maps, medical references and survival libraries — and serve them over their own Wi-Fi hotspot. No signal, no subscription, no grid required.

How it works

Three steps to a working library.

01
Load

Every system ships preloaded. Add or update .zim archives over USB whenever you're back on grid — Wikipedia, maps, medical, your own files.

02
Power

Run 16+ hours on the internal cell, or indefinitely from solar, vehicle, or any USB-C source. Draws less than a phone charger.

03
Connect

The system broadcasts its own Wi-Fi. Any phone, tablet or laptop joins and browses the library in a normal browser. No app, no account.

What's on it

A library that fits in a pocket.

ACID systems run Kiwix-compatible .zim archives — complete, compressed snapshots of reference sites that work with zero connectivity. Ships preloaded — including the lab's exclusive archives (black chips). If it's a .zim, it runs.

Who runs ACID

Built for the far end of the map.

Preparedness
When the grid goes quiet

Medical references, repair manuals and maps that keep working when cell towers don't. Store it in the go-bag; it's ready in 35 seconds.

Expeditions
Base camp reference desk

One Mini serves the whole team's phones — topo maps, first aid, field guides — for a full day per charge, at -20°C if it has to.

Travel
Dead zones, covered

Long-haul travelers carry the reference internet through ferries, borders and blackouts — no roaming, no data plan, no tracking.
