Reins now keeps generating in the background. Leave the app and come back to finished response. Plus web search, tools, model & server management, cloud models and more.
Take the Reins of your AI.
Reins connects to your Ollama server and brings powerful AI models like Llama, Gemma, Qwen and more on your iPhone and iPad — with tools, web search, and full control over every conversation. No login. No data collection.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No login. No account. No data collection. Everything you chat stays yours.
TOOLS & WEB SEARCH
Go beyond chat. Reins gives models the ability to search the web, fetch pages, calculate and reason across multiple steps — no API key required for web search.
FULL MODEL CONTROL
Download, switch and manage your Ollama models directly from the app. Connect multiple servers, configure API keys and custom headers and switch between them instantly. Access Ollama Cloud when you need it.
POWERFUL CHAT
Attach images, PDFs, CSVs and text files to any conversation. Enable thinking mode for deeper reasoning when you need it. Branch chats to explore different paths without losing your original thread. Never lose a cut-off response, pick up exactly where it stopped. Export or back up your conversations anytime.
FINE-GRAINED CONTROL
Set a different system prompt for every conversation. Dial in temperature, context size, max tokens and more for precise control over model behavior.
BACKGROUND PROCESSING
No need to wait around for complex reasoning or long responses. Switch apps or lock your screen and Reins keeps generating in the background. Come back and it'll be waiting for you. (Requires iOS or iPadOS 26.0+)
Reins requires an Ollama server. Self-hosted or Ollama Cloud both work.

I have a GPU server which serves Ollama, and I use ZeroTier to connect my iPhone to my server. This iOS app provides a modern UI to use Ollama and configuration is really simple. It also supports images as input!
Super Easy to use

Highly recommend it. Realtime, Speech to Text and Text to Speech feature would be useful.
Works well with Ollama server on RPi

Excellent, minimal and low latency iOS interface for an existing Ollama server on a home network - Thank you!
Good and bad

It’s good because it’s like ChatGPT, but it’s bad because when I try to use gemma4:e2b it doesn’t show the reasoning output but now it’s a subscription service the reason I use this is cus not money I need to spend but now
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback. As of version 2.0, you can enable Thinking which shows the reasoning output. Please update to the latest version.
This update contains great improvements and minor bug fixes:
- Background Generation: Reins now generates responses in the background on iOS/iPadOS 26.0+, so you don't have to keep the app open while waiting.
- Improved System Prompt Context: Add current time or force a web_fetch after web_search (under System Prompt Context in Settings, disabled by default).
- Better Code Blocks: Syntax highlighting and a floating copy button for code.
- Docker Model Runner Support: Use DMR models via the Ollama-compatible endpoint.
- Fixed an issue where the Download Models section wouldn't show any models.
- General improvements and bug fixes.
