Lokei AI
On-device or local AI
Free · In‑App Purchases
New: Lokei Rooms. Share one private AI with everyone around you over Wi-Fi — study groups, game nights, work. Runs on your device. No cloud, no accounts.
Lokei is a private AI chat app for iPhone and iPad.
Use Apple Intelligence on device, or connect to your own local AI server over Wi-Fi. No account. No ads. No tracking. No third-party SDKs.
STANDALONE BY DESIGN
You do not need a Mac or a subscription. On supported devices, Lokei chats with Apple Intelligence entirely on your iPhone or iPad. Already running local models? Point Lokei at Ollama, LM Studio, or any compatible local server on your Wi-Fi and chat with your own models.
PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE, NOT BY PROMISE
• Every reply shows a route badge: on device, local network, or the server you chose
• The built-in Privacy Audit shows exactly what stays on your device
• Local network only by default — public endpoints require explicit, double consent
• Optional iCloud sync is end-to-end encrypted and off by default; neither Lokei nor Apple can read your conversation content
• Lokei operates no servers and collects nothing
EVERYTHING A DAILY AI APP NEEDS
• Voice conversations — speech in and out, fully on device
• Ask about photos and documents — on-device text recognition and document Q&A
• Missions — multi-step tasks with visible progress
• Folders, tags, and smart folders to organize every chat
• Conversation branching, plus per-chat model and prompt overrides
• Memory notes you control, edit, and delete
• Automatic local backups, password-encrypted exports, and full data portability
LOKEI PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
A single one-time upgrade unlocks Siri and Shortcuts, MCP tools, the prompt library, and advanced exports. Everything else is free. Tips are appreciated and unlock nothing.
WORKS WITH LOKEI FOR MAC
Pair with the Mac app for encrypted conversation sync and handoff between devices.
Lokei is built for one idea: a great AI assistant should not need your data to be great.

Ratings & Reviews
Introducing Lokei Rooms — one private AI for everyone in the room.
Host a room on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and let everyone nearby join over Wi-Fi. The AI runs entirely on your devices — no cloud, no accounts, nothing leaves your network.
• Room types with the right personality: Classroom (a patient tutor), Game Night (a game master for trivia and story adventures), plus Legal, Medical, and Engineering
• Chat with the people in your room — the AI stays quiet unless you ask, or say "Hey Lokei"
• Answer Rounds: everyone answers secretly, reveal together, and Lokei checks and scores
• Private messages between members, controlled by the host
• Join in seconds with a QR code the host displays
• Rooms survive interruptions — step away and everyone reconnects automatically
Plus stability and polish improvements throughout.
