🚀 Version 3.2.0 - Patch-Proof & Privacy-First

GoogolPlex 2025

GoogolPlex 2025 is inspired by the original GoogolPlex hack from 2014, a creative experiment that routed Siri commands to custom servers long before Apple opened up Siri Shortcuts. Back then, some called it jokingly "Better Than Siri" — a playful nod to what it could do. Our project keeps that spirit alive: open, patch-proof, privacy-first, but built with modern tools, a plugin system, and a thriving developer community. The domain betterthansiri.dev remains as a fun Easter egg and a tribute to those early days — but the official name and focus is GoogolPlex 2025.

Why Choose GoogolPlex 2025 Over Siri?

🛡️

Patch-Proof Architecture

Uses official iOS features (Shortcuts + Safari Redirect). Apple cannot "fix" it away since it doesn't exploit Siri internals – unlike the 2014 hack that was quickly patched.

🏠

100% Local Processing

Everything runs locally on your device/network. No cloud dependency, no data leaves your iPhone. Complete privacy and control over your voice assistant.

🧩

Extensible Plugin System

Easy to extend with Python plugins. Each plugin defines meta, can_handle, and render functions. Built-in examples: Weather, Web Search, Wikipedia, iPhone Setup.

🗣️

Natural Text-to-Speech

Powered by advanced TTS with deduplication. iOS-friendly voice output that's queue-safe and works seamlessly with iPhone speech synthesis.

📱

Seamless iPhone Integration

Two setup options: iCloud Shortcuts OR Redirect Web app. Choose your preferred method to route Siri queries to your local server with beautiful UI and TTS responses.

🎨

Modern Glassmorphic UI

Beautiful glassmorphic design with badges, structured output, and iOS-native feel. Clean, professional interface that looks great on iPhone Safari.

Quick Installation Guide

🖥️ Server Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/AestheticDreamsAI/googolplex-2025.git
cd googolplex-2025

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start the server
python3 GoogolPlex.py

By default, the server runs at http://localhost:8000

📱 iPhone Configuration

Option 1: iCloud Shortcut

  1. Visit http://<your-ip>:8000 and type "setup"
  2. Install the provided iCloud Shortcut
  3. Edit shortcut and replace server URL
  4. Say "Hey Siri, Plex" → Siri asks for command

Option 2: Redirect Web

  1. Install "Redirect Web" from App Store
  2. Create redirect rule:
    google.com/search* → your-server:8000/search
  3. Say "Hey Siri, Google Plex ..." → Opens Google → Redirects to server

Create Your Own Plugin

Building a plugin is simple - just define three functions:

# Example plugin structure
def meta():
    return {"name": "Weather", "badge": "WEATHER"}

def can_handle(query: str) -> float:
    return 1.0 if "weather" in query.lower() else 0.0

def render(query: str):
    return {
        "title": "Weather",
        "html": "<div class='plugin-item'>☀️ 25°C — Sunny</div>",
        "badges": ["Sunny", "25°C"],
        "items": []
    }

The server automatically loads all plugins from the /plugins directory with hot-reload support.

Frequently Asked Questions

The original GoogolPlex (2014) hijacked Siri traffic through MITM proxy techniques, which Apple quickly patched. GoogolPlex 2025 uses official iOS features (Shortcuts + Safari redirects) that Apple cannot patch because they're legitimate system functions. It's patch-proof, open source, and designed for long-term sustainability.

Yes, absolutely. GoogolPlex 2025 processes everything locally on your device/network. No data is sent to external servers unless you explicitly configure a plugin to do so (like weather data). Your voice commands, queries, and responses stay completely private and under your control.

You need an iPhone with iOS 13+ (for Shortcuts app), Python 3.7+ on your server/computer, and both devices on the same network. The server can run on Mac, Windows, Linux, or even a Raspberry Pi. Minimal system requirements - it's very lightweight.

Creating plugins is simple. Each plugin needs three functions: meta() returns plugin info, can_handle() scores how well it matches a query (0.0-1.0), and render() returns the response. Place your plugin in the /plugins directory and it's automatically loaded with hot-reload support.

While some technical setup is required (running Python scripts), we provide detailed step-by-step instructions. For non-technical users, we're working on managed hosting options that will handle all the technical setup for you. Join our Discord for updates on availability.

No, because GoogolPlex 2025 uses official iOS features (Shortcuts and Safari) that are core system functions. Apple cannot disable these without breaking legitimate user workflows. This is fundamentally different from the 2014 hack that exploited vulnerabilities.
