Excellent App

I am an Information Security Analyst who also does independent AI Adversarial Security Research. This app is truly wonderful because - first and foremost - it does not collect any of my data. I made sure to review the privacy policy which confirms this. The ability to conduct sensitive local research on my iPad Pro (M4, 8GB) is refreshing. Often, being able to test against multiple models is the best way to discover new vulnerabilities and gain understanding into model behavior between LLM families (like Gemini vs Gemma, and GPT-5/4o vs GPT-OSS). The ability to be able to do this on my iPad while out and about or visiting family, or even taking a trip, is very useful. Initial testing showed that while no where near as sophisticated as LM Studio or other desktop class application, for what we are getting - for free no less - far exceeds my expectations. I still need to play around with it and see how far I can push it, but I am very satisfied with this app. Until the day that the iPad is allowed to run desktop level apps, this might just be the one to use. I have tried a few others, and none are as simple (easy to use) or with such model variety. Let alone privacy, the biggest concern of all.

It works with Shortcuts!

This app is amazing! Literally it checks nearly all of the boxes for what an AI app should do. The fact that it works with Shortcuts allows the creation of incredibly powerful and complex automations to save time and stay up to date. If you are an AI enthusiast or even just curious about the benefits of its application this app really is the best you could ask for, and you should try it out. I think the only thing it needs to be perfect would be the ability to add files such as PDFs, Word Docs, etc., to conversations. Aside from that the options for models to use is great. The app has several “thinking” models and visual models to choose. It also provides information about its models: it lets you know if the model will run well on your iPhone; if it has high CPU usage or not; and if it has visual capabilities. So, TLDR: It’s a fantastic app! And I’d love support for adding documents to chats in the future.

Well polished and well detailed, but needs more attention

The UI and user friendly interface for a beginner who does not know how to identify or download open source large language models already prepackaged is relatively simple and well thought out. The only thing missing is the Deepseek V3 , OpenAI’s GPT oss, Llama 4 (lightweight versions for iOS devices) is the only thing missing to become my go to local and private chatbot service. Look forward to the next update to support more models to download and deploy. Once it has more model customization then I’ll give it a 5 star rating. And to fix the unexpected crashes I come across from time to time. Oh and any forget to please add open source search and deep research capabilities

Developer Response
Hello,Thank you for using the app and your review.We are always looking to add more models. If a model is not available in the app, it usually means that there are some technical issues, but we do our best to address them. If you want to give us more suggestions and info about the crashes, please contact us at contact@locallyai.app.

This app is a game-changer! It's built with the same elegant simplicity and smooth feel as Apple Notes – the font, the interface, everything is just beautifully done. It's incredibly efficient and clearly the product of exceptional engineering. The fact that it's free is truly remarkable.For Mac users, this is hands down the best AI application available right now. The AI models here are a different level. There's a significant gap between them and anything else I've tried. They've clearly been optimized to work seamlessly with M1 chips, providing a genuinely usable experience. The models think, respond, reason, and answer questions in a way other apps simply can’t – many either crash or provide incomplete responses.The 12B model, in particular, is surprisingly comparable to ChatGPT for most users. I've tested it alongside Juan AI and Olama AI using the Gemma3 QAT 12B model, and this app blows them away. The accuracy and responsiveness are unmatched.Thank you so much to the developer – this app has made my M1 MacBook Pro truly usable with AI. I can't recommend this enough. Seriously, download it – you won't be disappointed!
