PocketModel

Private On-Device AI Chat

Free

Private on-device AI chat for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Use Apple Foundation Models where supported or curated local models, with chats kept on-device. PocketModel brings private, on-device AI chat to your iPhone and iPad. Start with the easiest path for your device. On supported Apple Intelligence hardware, PocketModel can use Apple Foundation Models with no model download required. Everywhere else, PocketModel helps you pick from a curated catalog of local GGUF models and runs them directly on your device. PocketModel is built for people who want personal AI without creating an account or sending normal chat requests to a cloud inference service. Features: - Apple Foundation Models support on compatible devices with no download required - Curated local model catalog organized by family, with device-aware recommendations - Private chat history stored on-device - Thinking Mode on supported models - Prompt suggestions for empty chats and follow-up suggestions after replies - Search within the current chat and across saved chats - Edit, regenerate, or fork earlier prompts into a new chat - Image attachments for supported local model workflows - Structured replies with preserved lists, links, and code formatting - Download, pause, resume, retry, update, and remove local models - Advanced: browse and install any GGUF file directly from a model's HuggingFace repository - iPhone and iPad support - No sign-up required PocketModel is designed around privacy-first usage. Chat generation and saved history stay on-device during normal use. Network access is used for actions you explicitly trigger, such as downloading model files or refreshing the curated catalog when that capability is enabled in a build.

Version 2.1.1 adds document context to chat: - Attach PDFs, text files, or Markdown notes to any chat — the model sees the content as context - Manage your document library from the toolbar; import from Files with a tap - Source citations appear in the reply bubble so you can see which document informed the answer - Discover now organizes models by family (Qwen, Llama, Mistral, etc.) for easier comparison - Advanced: experienced users can long-press any model in Discover to browse and install GGUF files directly from its HuggingFace repository
