Description
Chat privately with local AIs when you don't have internet, or chat privately with AI's like DeepSeek through OpenRouter.
Chat with private, local AIs, connect to every open source AI, or your own locally-hosted private LLMs. Apollo is your own customizable client for accessing language models from all around the web.
Local model support (experimental): run smaller LLMs privately and securely on-device.
OpenRouter support: bring an OpenRouter API key to chat with every model on the web. Just sign in by creating an account over at OpenRouter and paste it in to Apollo to access nearly every model, from open source models like Meta Llama 3, to closed source models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4.
Custom Backend support: want ChatGPT at home? Run an LLM on your computer with tools like LM Studio or Ollama and connect to it with Apollo to host your own private ChatGPT-like mobile app for your family.

Ratings and Reviews
FANTASTIC!!!!!! (And a few requests)
Hi Aaron, thank you for making such a wonderful app. It gives me peace of mind that I can have this tech running locally on my machine without having to use a data farming web app. While I have this app on my iPhone and iPad, I find myself using it most on my MacBook when I am on the go and without a wifi connection (or, when ever I would like some ACTUAL privacy!!)
With that said, I have a few requests as it relates to the Mac version of this app (which I know is an iPad app that has been augmented to run on a Mac - THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT POSSIBLE BY THE WAY!!)
request 1: is there any way you could add a setting to allow for the text size to be increased? it seems to be 7pt or 8pt on my Mac screen.
Request 2: sometimes when I typing sloppily and I have to use a lot of backspaces, something happens where the backspace lags and will delete some text a few seconds after I start typing words again - I have no idea how/why that happens, and it may have nothing to do with your awesome app at all.
thank you for your time,
-a happy and grateful user
Developer Response ,
Hey, thanks for the feedback. There’s a Theme menu in the settings that might make things better. There’s definitely a lot to optimize still on macOS though. We will make some macOS improvements soon.
Good investment but it has the potential to be great 🔥
I’m really exited for what this app can do with open source AI. Although having access to faster responses directly with ChatGPT & DeepSeek is mind blowing, I rather do it locally in my computer and now is even better I can do it on my phone. No limits or monthly payments. The voice chat capabilities need some help. In my case the problem is answering back. The mic works fine but the model never answers back. It will be fenomenal to use voice chat while driving 🤓. Keep up the good work so we can continue recommending it
Any model via OpenRouter!
This app is a nearly perfect way to use your OpenRouter API and use nearly any model on your phone. I’ve used it every day since purchasing it.
Aaron, one feature update would make this app pretty much perfect for me. Currently, Apollo lets you export chats as JSON, but the JSON isn’t formatted in a way that is importable by OpenRouter. I would love to see cross-compatibility with OpenRouter, and I’d especially love to be able to IMPORT chats into Apollo. This would allow chats to be backed up and without relying solely on Apollo’s history function.
Thank you!
