Ox - Local Agent
A self-evolving local agent
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A self-evolving agent that runs on your phone
Ox is a free, open-source local agent for iPhone and iPad that uses websites and apps on your behalf. Choose a language model provider, then research information, work with files, create notes and interactive artifacts, and complete tasks through supported websites and device services. Ox works with commercial, free, local, and self-hosted language models, and can turn websites into reusable services or create custom skills for recurring workflows.
Ox can also connect to supported AI apps, search and continue existing conversations, and import reviewed memories into your active Profile.
With permission, Ox can access selected folders, use location, add calendar events and reminders, schedule notifications, look up contacts, prepare messages for review, and find, preview, and organize photos you choose to share. You can also share text, links, images, PDFs, and other files with Ox through the Share Sheet or Shortcuts.
Chats, memory, skills, character settings, and generated artifacts are organized into separate Profiles that can be stored on-device, synced through iCloud, or opened from a folder you select in Files. Ox asks for approval before sensitive actions and keeps website credentials isolated from the language model.
