User Reviews

Locally AI shines for on-device/offline operation, ease of use, and private AI with fast performance on Apple hardware. Reviewers praise the growing set of local models and frequent updates, plus a privacy-first stance. However, there are notable downsides: stability issues (crashes/freezes) on some sessions, inconsistent access to Gemma 4, and no cross-device chat syncing (iPhone/iPad). Overall, it’s strong for privacy and local AI variety, but would benefit from improved stability, clearer model availability, and multi-device synchronization.
Pros
  • Runs entirely on-device / offline, preserving privacy
  • Easy to use with a clean, straightforward UI
  • Wide and actively updated local model options (e.g., Gemma, Qwen)
  • Very fast performance on iPhone/mac thanks to Apple MLX
  • Strong privacy stance (no data retention or analytics; data stays on device)
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and freezes, including during long or large-context prompts
  • Gemma 4 model availability inconsistency or removal leading to confusion about access
  • Lack of cross-device chat syncing (no syncing between iPhone and iPad)

I really love Locally AI! It’s amazing! I would love to see these features in the future: 1) Fade-in answers (so the answer doesn’t appear "word by word") for a smoother experience. 2) Ability to customise the looks of an app (like background colour, animations etc). 3) A toggle which enables local models to search on the web when needed. Overall, it’s great!
