Scira iOS App + CLI: two new ways to research

Today we're shipping two things at once.

1. Scira is on the App Store#

AI research on your iPhone. Ask a question, pick your sources, get cited answers you can actually check.

Scira iOS app

Everything you can do on the web is here:

• Sources you control — Web, academic papers, Reddit, GitHub, stocks, crypto
• File and photo attachments — drop in a PDF, an image, or a screenshot and ask about it
• Voice input — speak your question instead of typing
• Cited answers — every claim links to a source you can open and verify

2. Scira CLI#

Two things it does: research and code.

Scira CLI

Ask it a question and it searches the web, reads the actual pages, then writes a report where every claim links back to a source. If it can't back something up, it doesn't say it.

Point it at your codebase and it understands the structure, the patterns, and the intent before it writes a line.

Install#

npm install -g @scira/cli

Then run scira init to configure your API keys.

Research#

# headless run — writes a report with cited sources
scira "compare Rust and Go for systems programming"

# interactive TUI with session history
scira

Code#

Point it at your project and ask questions or make changes. It reads the codebase context before responding.

scira new "explain the auth flow in this project" --tui

Both are available now. The iOS app is free to download; Scira Pro unlocks the full model roster on both platforms.
