Description
Privacy AI is a powerful client for running local models and connecting to OpenAI-compatible servers. It enhances models with a suite of on-device tools like searching.
In a world increasingly dependent on closed, centralized AI platforms, Privacy AI delivers a superior mobile experience while preserving your control, data sovereignty, and full offline capability.
Why Privacy AI?
---------
We believe that the future of AI lies not in dependency—but in autonomy.
Cloud AI systems come with trade-offs: your data leaves your device, moderation rules shift without notice, costs rise unpredictably, and tools become inaccessible when accounts are suspended or regions restricted.
Privacy AI reverses that. It’s a tool for the sovereign user—designed from the ground up for local model execution, self-hosted flexibility, and on-device tools. It’s the foundation for a world where AI is something you own, not something you rent.
Who It’s For?
---------
Privacy AI is built for:
1. AI developers and infrastructure builders who work with GGUF, OpenRouter, or custom LLM backends.
2. Privacy-conscious professionals in law, healthcare, research, and finance.
3. Power users and early adopters exploring the edge of AI + automation.
4. Enterprises requiring regulatory compliance or internal-only AI workflows.
Whether you're running offline AI on iPhone, connecting to a self-hosted server, or debugging a multi-agent toolchain—Privacy AI gives you the platform, tools, and control to do it privately, reliably, and efficiently.
What It Does?
---------
1. Run Any Model, Anywhere
Execute powerful AI models fully offline on iPhone, iPad, or Mac—no cloud required.
Load GGUF models from local files or HuggingFace.
Connect to any OpenAI-compatible API, including Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, or OpenRouter.
Switch between local and remote models mid-conversation without losing context.
2. Use Tools Locally—Not Just in the Cloud
Privacy AI is the only mobile client to fully support MCP tools with both legacy and streamable protocols.
Use tools like web search, stock quotes, arXiv search, HealthKit analytics, JavaScript, and more—even with local-only models.
Inspect tool execution with built-in dev tools for advanced debugging and development.
3. Automate Anything, Privately
Trigger AI workflows with Siri, Shortcuts, or the Share Extension.
Send emails, analyze health data, summarize PDFs—all with no server in the loop.
Use offline text-to-speech, transcription, and tool execution—nothing leaves your device.
4. Process Files Securely On-Device
Drag in scanned PDFs, Office docs, YouTube videos, or audio recordings.
Extract Markdown, perform OCR, summarize, translate, or analyze—with full offline support.
Export as Markdown, PDF, HTML, JSON, EPUB, or custom formats.
5. Control, Customize, and Extend
Customize system prompts, tool behavior, and model preferences.
Sync settings, models, and chat histories across your Apple devices with iCloud.
No logins, no telemetry, no lock-in. Your models, your tools, your rules.
6. Track Model Pricing and Estimate Costs
Fetch the latest model pricing and estimate usage costs in real time.
Help you choose the most cost-efficient model for your needs.
Built for the Apple Ecosystem
M-series optimized: Incredible performance on iPad Pro or Mac
iCloud native: Sync chats, models, and settings automatically.
Siri-integrated: Run AI tools by voice.

No Account. No Server. No Surprises.

It’s not a chatbot. It’s a fully-private AI IDE in your pocket.
If you want to offer a Professional-grade AI experience with no compromises on privacy, no vendor lock-in, and unmatched local tool support—Privacy AI is the only app that delivers.
Your model. Your device. Your data.

What’s New
Version 1.1.26
- Feature: Local vision models on device. You can now run vision-capable GGUF models locally via our llama.cpp mtmb integration (for example, Qwen2.5-VL 3B Instruct). Add images to a chat without sending data to the cloud.
- Feature: Add our first vision model, “Qwen2.5-VL 3B Instruct.”
- Feature: Add new suggested models. Added “gemma-3-270m” to the recommended list
- Improvement: Faster and more reliable downloads. Local model downloads are quicker and more stable; we also fixed an issue that could start extra download workers when the app moved between background and foreground.
- Improvement: Clearer remote model pricing. The price panel now shows “Cache Read (per 1M tokens)” and “Cache Write (per 1M tokens)” so you can estimate costs more accurately when KV cache is used.
- Improvement: Easier ways to contact us. In Feedback, you can open your default email app or DM our X account. There’s also an optional email field if you want a reply. Because the app has no user accounts, we can only respond if you leave contact info.
- Bugfix: Model list refresh. Newly downloaded local models now appear immediately when you switch models inside a chat.
Ratings and Reviews
Literally Years Ahead of Everything Else
I've tried just about every AI client on the App Store, and this is the one. I stumbled on this app when it had zero downloads and found an absolute gem. This isn't just another chat wrapper; it's a full-on AI agent for your phone. You can plug in APIs for basically any model (Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.) and it has tools that let the AI actually do things—manage your calendar, get directions, search your contacts, the list goes on. The "Super Siri" feature that lets you use your own AI model with a voice command is a complete game-changer.
Now, full disclosure, the app is BRAND new, so it's a little rough around the edges. You might hit a few quirks or a random crash here and there as the developer irons things out. But honestly, that's totally expected for something this ambitious. The potential here is just off the charts.
Giving this 5 stars for the vision alone and for what it can already do.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for trying Privacy AI when it only had a few downloads. It means a lot that you see what we’re building, not just another chat app, but a full AI workspace and agent for mobile devices.
We’re glad you tried features like broad API support and the “Super Siri” voice command. Both are designed to put you in control of your AI on your own terms. Our philosophy is simple: AI should run under users’ control, free from Big Tech lock-in, and work exactly the way users need it to.
The app is still new and not perfect. But we’re shipping fast and improving every week. Thank you for the five stars and for recognizing the vision. Reviews like yours help more people discover Privacy AI and motivate us to make it even better.
