Nodal runs real AI models on your iPhone. Chat, ask about photos, make images and music, and hear any text read aloud in a realistic voice, or in your own. Download a model once and it keeps working with the network off. No account.
CHAT AND WRITING
Ask questions, draft and rewrite, summarize long notes, explain code, practice a language. Replies stream in as they are written. Choose from open models in several sizes, from small ones that answer instantly to large ones for the best answers on the newest phones, or use Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones.
THINKING MODELS
Models that reason before they answer show their thinking as they go, and you can switch thinking on or off.
PHOTOS AND SCREENSHOTS
Attach a picture and ask about it. Read a menu, a receipt or a whiteboard, describe a photo, or pull the text out of a screenshot.
MAKE IMAGES
Describe a picture and it draws it on the phone with an open diffusion model. Sketch a rough drawing and turn it into an image, get a prompt idea when you are stuck, choose the detail and size, and keep everything in your own gallery or save it to Photos.
MAKE MUSIC
Describe a mood or a style and it makes a short track you can play, save or share. You can also bring your own compatible music model.
REALISTIC TEXT-TO-SPEECH
Hear any reply read aloud in a natural, human-sounding voice, or paste your own text into Speak and save it as an audio file. Pick from several voices and set the speed.
YOUR OWN VOICE
Read one short passage out loud and Nodal learns your voice. Then everything can be read the way you sound, in English and nine more languages. Choose High or Low quality depending on your phone.
TALK TO IT
Start a call and talk hands-free. It listens, answers, and speaks back.
MODEL HUB AND HUGGING FACE
Every model shows its size, what it is good at and how much memory it needs before you download it. Search Hugging Face from inside the app to install community models by name, or import a model file you already have. Pause and resume downloads, follow them on the Lock Screen, switch models in one tap, and remove any of them to free space.
BENCHMARK
Measure how fast each installed model runs on your own iPhone, so you can compare them instead of guessing.
YOUR CHATS
Every conversation is saved with a short title, searchable, and yours to delete. Export any chat as a PDF, Markdown or plain text file.
HEALTH ANSWERS WITH SOURCES
Questions about health show where to read more, from sources like the NHS and MedlinePlus.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
There is no Nodal server and no account. Chats, photos, images and music are processed and stored on your iPhone. The network is used to download models, to search Hugging Face, and to check your purchase with RevenueCat.
GOOD TO KNOW
This is real AI on a phone, so hardware matters. Small models run on any iPhone with iOS 18; the largest need 8 GB of memory. Models are open-weight files published by third parties under their own licences, all listed in the app. AI can be wrong, so check anything that matters and do not treat replies as medical, legal or financial advice.

What I like: everything runs on the device. There's no account or sign-up, and once a model is downloaded it works in airplane mode. Having chat, photo questions, image generation, music and text-to-speech in one app is convenient. The model hub shows each model's size and memory needs before you download, so you know what your phone can handle. The developer also ships updates frequently.Worth knowing: this is real AI on a phone, so performance depends on your iPhone. The larger models need more memory, and the first download takes a while.Recommended if you care about privacy and want local AI without paying a subscription for every tool.
Amazing

Nodal is an incredible all-in-one AI app. I’d use it for chatting, summarizing notes, analyzing photos, generating images, creating music, and turning text into natural sounding speech. The best part is that everything runs privately on my iPhone, even without an internet connection after downloading the models. Having so many AI tools in one app makes it incredibly useful. 🔥🤖
Made for iPhone Duo. Nodal puts its navigation in the Duo's side bar, and every screen keeps a comfortable reading width on the bigger display.
Small fixes and improvements.
