A search agent for Android that names where every answer came from, quotes the source in its own words, and tells you plainly when it found nothing worth trusting.
Most assistants sound
equally sure of everything.
This one doesn't.
Ask a chatbot a question about a medicine and you get a confident paragraph. Ask it again and you may get a different confident paragraph. Nothing in either one tells you which parts came from a health ministry, which came from a forum post, and which the model simply produced because the sentence needed finishing.
FishBall is built to relay facts. It reports what it finds and names where each statement comes from. Every rule in it follows from that purpose: an answer it cannot trace to a source is an answer it does not give.
Not tone-of-voice guidelines. Each one is enforced in code, and each one can make the app refuse to answer.
Before a word is written, each result is placed on a four-step ladder — from a national health authority down to an anonymous post. The grade is decided by who published it, not by how convincing it sounds.
The grade changes the answer's wording. A claim resting on one forum thread is never phrased with the confidence of one resting on a regulator.
Not a footnote, not a superscript number — the name sits in the line you are reading: "the drug regulator's own leaflet says…". Attribution you have to go looking for is attribution nobody checks.
When the app shows you a source's exact words, the model does not type them out. It points at a span, and that span is sliced out of the retrieved page and verified character by character before you see it.
A quotation that does not match the page is rejected and the model is told to try again. There is no path through the code that lets an invented quote reach the screen.
On anything that matters, the app runs a second search designed to disprove what the first one found. If the two disagree, it says so and shows both — rather than quietly keeping whichever it happened to read first.
Every result lands on one of four rungs. The rung is visible under the answer, so you never have to take the app's word for how sure it should be.
The app speaks Chinese; the shape of an answer is the point here. Source cards sit under every factual reply, each one tappable through to the page it came from.
What it looks up, and what you tell it about yourself, are kept on the device — never on a server. Facts carry an expiry: a phone's battery capacity keeps, this week's exchange rate does not.
Tell it something has changed and it finds the old note and retires it rather than holding two answers to one question.
Searches run through a private SearXNG instance rather than a commercial API, and the model is reached through Hydrogen, a proxy on the same infrastructure. No advertising profile is built, because there is nobody in the chain whose business that is.
Not on Google Play. It is an APK you install yourself, and it needs an activation code that is handed over in person.
The download is a signed APK, around 2 MB. Android will ask twice — once for permission to install from this source, once to confirm the install itself. Both are normal for an app that does not come from a store.
