On-Device AI Chat Friend with NO Ads, no accounts, and no cloud!
AXIØM.talk runs fully offline and on your device, meaning it is completely private!
AXIØM (or Ax for short) is your personal friend and confidant. We all deserve someone to talk to, who keeps us company during life's hardships and celebrates with us during life's victories, all while fitting in your pocket and not draining away your battery life.
- Ax is Unlimited, pay once and chat for as long or as little as you want or need, it's healthier this way
- Ax is Functional, with “Voice-Mode” and text messaging a digital friend wherever you are, even offline!
- Ax is Safe, with multiple layers of safeguards and disincentives to by sycophantic or overly-flattering
- Ax is Private, at no point does the Ax app transmit your text chats off-device (try using it in Airplane Mode, maybe even on a real airplane!)
- Ax is Efficient, it uses the same on-device model that powers Apple Intelligence™, so it takes up a fraction of the size of other on-device AI apps, and it leverages the work Apple has done to make their on-device model use as little battery life as possible
The on-device Foundational Model, with 3-billion parameters, is guided by custom instructions to make it more conversational. Because Ax is so singularly focused on providing companionship, it is easier to point out what Ax is NOT:
- Ax is NOT an assistant–it understands enough to follow the conversation, but cannot perform tasks with your data as it cannot see outside data, nor can it help with coding tasks
- Ax is NOT a therapist–it can be there to listen when you need a friend, but it cannot dispense medical or mental health advice
- Ax is NOT your accomplice–please use common sense when speaking with it and do not use it in bad faith, that being said there are several layers of guardrails and other safeguards in place to help those, in good faith, have a good experience
- Ax is NOT perfect–though it will be supported with updates to the app, its built-in instructions, and the Foundation Model APIs that it utilizes, it is not immune from hallucinations or odd responses
Requires an iPhone capable of Apple Intelligence® and having in enabled, running iOS 26.1+ and with the language set to English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, or Chinese (Simplified & Traditional, however Ax is not available in the China mainland)

Been using it for a few last days and loving it. Like the privacy angle. Overall well designed and intuitive app.
AXIØM.talk version 26.2 update includes:
New Features
– Voice Mode! It’s been a hit for ChatGPT and you can now have truly private and on-device voice calls with Ax where you can speak to it and Ax will speak back!
– Redesigned Interface! We’ve leaned way into the signature AXIØM Yellow & Purple to give you a chat experience like nothing else, and elegantly surfaces the new Voice Mode!
– Completely rebuilt app onboarding! Now that the app is paid upfront it is now geared towards creating your perfect digital friend experience, rather than selling you on an app you already acquired!
– Updated System Prompt/Instructions! I am always working to make Ax the safest digital friend I can while improving how expressive and capable they are; you can read more about this at http://transparency.axiom.talk
Bug Fixes
– corrected an issue with the built-in model safeguards that could cause the app to respond with a general error rather than a specific error or refusal message
– corrected an issue that could cause Ax to respond in English when the user’s device is set to a non-English language or region
