Super Brain on iOS

Access your Super Brains on the Elephas iPhone and iPad app and chat with your knowledge from anywhere. Super Brain on iOS is available for users on the Pro and Pro Plus plans.

iCloud sync between Mac and iOS

Elephas for iOS supports iCloud syncing, so you can access your Super Brains and their content across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Index files on your Mac and ask questions on your iPhone or iPad. Or index on iOS and continue chatting on Mac.

Requirements

  • Latest Elephas Mac app (v11.4 or later) — required to initiate sync from Mac
  • iCloud Drive enabled on both devices
  • Same Apple ID on Mac and iOS device
  • Updated Elephas iOS app

First-time sync

When you open Super Brain on iOS for the first time, you may see a "Syncing files..." message while Elephas fetches your Brains and content from iCloud. This may take a few minutes depending on:

  • Your internet speed
  • Number and size of files
  • iCloud sync queue

Brain List screen

After syncing completes, access your Super Brains from the Brain tab (the first tab) in the Elephas iOS app. You will see a grid of Brain cards, each representing a Super Brain synced from your Mac or created directly on iOS.

Each Brain card displays:

  • Brain Name
  • Chat Count (message icon)
  • Content Count (document icon) — number of indexed files, URLs, or notes
  • Last Updated date — when indexing or content changes were last applied

Super Chat (default brain)

Alongside your Super Brains, you will also see Super Chat, the default AI assistant inside Elephas iOS. Super Chat:

  • Does not index files
  • Works like a general-purpose AI chat
  • Uses your configured AI provider or the Elephas API

Choosing a brain for chat

When starting a new chat conversation, you can choose which brain to chat with. Once your brains are synced, you will see a dropdown list of all available brains.

Chatting with a brain

Once you start a conversation with a brain, the in-chat experience shows both the conversation name and the brain you are chatting with at the top.

Compatibility

Super Brain on iOS works on all iOS devices running iOS 15 or higher, including all versions of iPhone and iPad.
