On your iPhone, too.

The same answer engine, same eight themes — math still runs offline.

Nimble on iPhone answering "Ten plus ten" with 20, computed offline.

Answers, not ten blue links.

Instant Math

Arithmetic and expressions evaluated locally. No network needed.

Knowledge Search

An AI answer layer first, then DuckDuckGo Instant Answers and Wikipedia. No API keys required.

Every platform

Mac, iPhone, Windows, Android and the web. The same answer engine on every surface.

8 Themes

Orange, red, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, high contrast.

Native macOS

SwiftUI and MenuBarExtra. No Electron. Light and fast.

Open Source

MIT licensed. No telemetry. Your queries stay on your machine.

Install it anywhere.

On Windows and Android, Nimble installs straight from the browser — no store, no download, no runtime. It gets a real window, its own icon, and the offline math keeps working with no connection.

Windows

Open the web app in Edge or Chrome, then Install Nimble from the address bar. It lands in the Start Menu like any other app.

Open & install

Android

Open the web app in Chrome, then Add to Home screen. Full screen, no browser chrome, works offline.

Open & install

Mac

A native SwiftUI menu bar app, signed and notarized. One keystroke from anywhere.

Download for Mac

Linux

Same as Windows — install the web app from Chrome or Chromium and it runs as a standalone window.

Open & install

The original Nimble, in quotes.

"The menubar client is every bit as intuitive as the web interface, meaning, it's easy to use and even if you aren't quite sure what you're asking, there's a good chance [it] will figure it out."

The Next Web

"Nimble can handle pretty much anything you'd normally throw at [it], including simple questions and math problems that require graphs."
