Your playa guide, finally offline.
The sassy Burning Man AI that lives on your phone — powered by Apple Intelligence, running fully on-device. No signal, no data, no excuses. Just you, the dust, and a guide who's seen it all.
Gifted mezcal at 3 & C, a tiki joint at the Man, somebody's whiskey shack near the temple — Black Rock City is the most over-served city on Earth. Your phone, meanwhile, gets nothing. Out there your handset's a brick. Dusty isn't: the whole guide and the brains to use it ride along on your device.
The entire Black Rock City guide — events, camps, art, streets — lives on your phone. Drop it in airplane mode at the gate and Dusty just keeps working.
Powered by on-device AI, every answer is generated right on your phone. Nothing leaves the device — no servers, no tracking, no data plan required.
Ask in plain English — "sunrise sets near 7 o'clock," "where's the grilled cheese camp" — and Dusty digs through the full WhatWhereWhen so you don't have to.
Natural-language questions, sassy answers. Dusty understands what you actually mean and points you somewhere real — no menus, no scrolling, no signal.
Every camp, art piece, and event — pulled from the official Burning Man guide and stored on-device. Tap to save the ones you love into your own dusty little list.
Build a loose plan, get a gentle "the Man burns in 2 days" nudge, and never miss your friend's set again. All on your timeline — even when the timeline is melting.
Dusty runs on Apple Intelligence, so it needs a recent device — but once it's installed, it needs nothing else. No account, no subscription to the cloud, no signal.
Create your free Dusty account now — chat with Dusty on the web today, and the same account carries over to the iOS & Android apps when they land, so everything syncs. We'll email you the moment they're live.
Before you leave for the playa, Dusty downloads the entire Black Rock City guide to your phone and runs its AI brain on-device using Apple Intelligence. Out there, it never needs the internet — everything happens locally.
Any iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence — that's iPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 16 line and newer, running iOS 18 or later. Older phones can't run the on-device model, sorry friend.
Completely. Because the AI runs on your device, your questions never leave your phone. No servers, no accounts, no tracking — exactly how the playa likes it.
The official Burning Man event, camp, and art listings, packaged into the app and refreshed each year before the burn. Smile High's own lineup is baked right in too.
Still being decided — but waitlist folks get early access and the best deal. Smile High is community-owned, so this is a labor of love, not a money grab.
