On-Device AI

WebLibre includes optional on-device AI features to help you organize tabs. The processing happens locally on your phone, using a model stored on your device.

This feature is mainly useful when you have many open tabs and want help turning them into containers.

What It Helps With

Draft Containers

WebLibre can look at your open, unassigned tabs and suggest draft containers. Each draft groups together tabs that seem related and suggests a container name.

For example, a mixed tab session might turn into suggestions such as:

  • Shopping

  • Research

  • News

These are only suggestions. WebLibre does not automatically create containers or move tabs without your confirmation.

Suggested Names and Topics

When WebLibre creates a draft suggestion, it also tries to suggest a useful name for that group. If the name is not right, you can change it before saving the container.

Container Tab Suggestions

The same on-device AI setting also powers container topic and tab suggestions elsewhere in the tab UI. If no suggestions appear, that usually just means WebLibre did not find a confident match.

What the AI Uses

For the tab-grouping features in the current app, WebLibre uses your open tab titles.

It does not need to send those titles to a remote server. The page you are viewing stays on your device while suggestions are generated.

The app wording refers to "container topic and tab suggestions". In practice, this means suggested names for groups of tabs and suggested tab groupings for containers.

Before You Start

Keep these expectations in mind:

  • Suggestions can be helpful, but they are not always perfect.

  • Some tabs may not be grouped at all.

  • Suggested names may be too broad, too specific, or simply wrong.

  • The first use may trigger an AI model download.

The in-app dialog also warns that the download size and progress cannot be determined in advance.

Turn It On

Check the main setting first:

  1. Open Settings > Web Content

  2. Make sure On-Device AI is enabled

If you want to work with containers, also make sure container controls are visible:

  1. Open Settings > Browsing

  2. Make sure Show Container UI is enabled

Use Draft Containers

  1. Open the tab overview

  2. Turn on AI tab suggestions when prompted

  3. If WebLibre finds matches, open Draft Containers

  4. Review the suggested groups

  5. Remove tabs you do not want in a group

  6. Create the container when you are happy with it

You stay in control the whole time. Nothing is applied until you confirm it.

If you need a refresher on the tab overview and related controls, see Tab Management.

Privacy and Storage

  • Processing happens on your device

  • The AI model may need to be downloaded the first time you use these features

  • After download, the model is stored on your device

  • Using the feature can take extra storage, CPU time, and some battery

If you do not want these features, turn off On-Device AI in Settings > Web Content.

When It Is Most Useful

  • You have many open tabs and want a faster starting point

  • You finished a research session and want rough groups

  • You use containers already and want help sorting unassigned tabs

When to Skip It

  • You prefer to organize every tab yourself

  • Your device is low on storage

  • You want to avoid the extra processing used for suggestions
