This app requires an AI brain to operate. You can use it 100% for free by using OpenRouter's free models.

Install the APK on your Android device (API 30+ recommended).
Go to OpenRouter.ai and create a free account.
Generate a free API Key.
Launch PrivateAgent and go to the Settings screen.
Tap the "OpenRouter" quick-select chip under Base URL.
Paste your API Key.
Type openai/gpt-oss-120b:free (or any other free model) into the Model field.
Enable the "PrivateAgent Screen Control" service in your Android Accessibility Settings.

“Restricted setting” when enabling Screen Control

Android may block accessibility access for apps installed from an APK. This is an operating-system safety restriction:

Open Settings → Apps → PrivateAgent.
Open the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
Tap Allow restricted settings and confirm.
Return to PrivateAgent and open Accessibility Settings again.
Enable PrivateAgent Screen Control.

PrivateAgent now shows these instructions and provides shortcuts to both App Info and Accessibility Settings during onboarding.
