At around 1GB, NeatPass is larger than most apps. That's because it includes a complete AI model bundled directly in the download. Here's why that's a good thing.
Privacy first
The AI runs entirely on your iPhone. Your tickets are never sent to any server.
Why Bundle an AI Model?
Most apps that use AI send your data to cloud servers for processing. NeatPass takes a different approach: the entire AI model lives on your device. This means:
Your tickets never leave your phone
Works offline for extraction (wallet signing requires brief connection)
Faster processing with no network latency
No ongoing data usage or cloud costs
What Does the AI Do?
Smart extraction of ticket details like dates, venues, and seat numbers
Automatic pass type detection (event, boarding pass, loyalty, etc.)
Multilingual text understanding
Common Questions
Technical Details
The model runs on Apple's MLX framework, optimized for Apple Silicon. This enables fast on-device inference with efficient memory usage.
Perfect for travel
Since the AI is bundled with the app, extraction works completely offline. Import tickets at the airport or venue without needing an internet connection. Add passes to Wallet while connected.
