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.
Privacy AI is a full-featured AI chat client that works the way you choose: run models fully offline, connect to your own self-hosted servers, or use the latest cloud providers. All in one app.
Why Privacy AI
Most AI apps lock you into a single service. Privacy AI is different. It gives you freedom: local execution for privacy, self-hosted for compliance, or cloud APIs for cutting-edge performance. You decide where models run, how tools work, and how your data is handled.
Who It’s For
• Developers and infra builders (GGUF, OpenRouter, or custom APIs)
• Privacy-conscious professionals in law, healthcare, finance, research
• Power users and early adopters exploring AI + automation
• Enterprises needing regulatory compliance or internal-only workflows
What It Does
Run Any Model, Anywhere
• Execute models fully offline on iPhone, iPad, or Mac
• Load GGUF models from HuggingFace or local files, synced via iCloud
• Connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Perplexity, DeepSeek, or your own servers (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, LocalAI, Jan AI, OpenRouter)
• Switch between local and remote models mid-chat without losing context
Use Tools Seamlessly
• Full MCP support (legacy + streamable protocols)
• Call tools like web search, stock quotes, arXiv, HealthKit, JavaScript—even offline

No Account. No Surprises.
Privacy AI never forces you to sign up. You choose local, self-hosted, or cloud. Your data stays under your control.
It’s more than a chatbot—it’s a professional-grade AI IDE in your pocket.
Your model. Your device. Your data.
Welcome to the era of choice in AI.

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.
