MLX-Serve
Music, Images, Text - Local AI
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
MLX-Serve is a private AI studio that runs entirely on your iPhone. Every conversation, voice recording, and generated image is processed on-device by open-weight models — nothing you type, say, or create ever leaves your phone. There is no account to create, no subscription, and no tracking of any kind.
MUSIC
Generate songs locally using your device ! You can also play it back in the background and use MLX-Serve as a player for your generated music on the go.
CHAT
Talk with capable open language models (Google Gemma 4) right on your device. Ask questions, brainstorm, draft messages, get things explained. Some models can even understand photos you attach.
CALL
Tap Call inside any conversation to talk to the AI hands-free, like a phone call. Your speech is transcribed on-device and the reply is read back aloud. Speaker and handset modes are both supported, and the transcript is saved to your chat.
VOICE CLONE
Record about eight seconds of your voice and have the AI speak text in your own voice, using an on-device text-to-speech model. Great for narration and fun.
IMAGES
Generate images from a text prompt with an on-device diffusion model (FLUX.2). Tap a result to zoom in, save it to your photo library, or share it.
FULLY PRIVATE, FULLY OFFLINE
- Runs 100% on-device using Apple MLX and the Metal GPU.
- No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking.
- The network is used only to download the AI models you choose from Hugging Face. After a model is downloaded, that feature works offline.
REQUIREMENTS
Models are multi-gigabyte downloads and on-device AI is demanding, so MLX Chat requires a recent, high-performance iPhone. Download over Wi-Fi is recommended. You pick which models to download and can delete them anytime to reclaim space.
Open models are provided under their respective licenses (Gemma, Apache 2.0). MLX Chat is an independent app and is not affiliated with Google or Apple.
- Replies are formatted now: lists, bold, code, tables
- Pick your chat model from inside the chat, and every reply shows which model wrote it
- Thinking toggle for models that can think, with a live peek at the reasoning
- New models: LFM2.5 2.6B and 8B-A1B (with DSpark drafters for extra speed), MiMo V2.6 Qwen 9B
- Agents can use calendar, reminders, places, contacts, alarms, music and message drafts
- Add a Mac by address, for Tailscale and other VPNs
- Long chats use about half the memory
- Fixed replies getting cut off, and the memory check is less strict
- Downloads keep going in the background
- Starter ideas in new chats, and empty chats clean themselves up
- Lock screen controls for favorites
