Locally AI - Local AI Chat

Offline & Private AI Assistant

Features & Capabilities

Locally AI is an on-device AI assistant for iPhone and iPad that runs entirely offline, ensuring total privacy. No login, no data collection, and all processing happens locally on your device, powered by Apple MLX. It supports multiple models (Llama, Gemma, Qwen, DeepSeek, and more) and lets you chat, analyze images, or create text without ever sending data to the cloud.

Key benefits include 100% offline operation, private on-device processing, fast responses on Apple Silicon, and flexible model options. Ideal for private chats, research, writing, and on-the-go tasks—all while keeping your data on your device.

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 like this app. The fact that it gives you a list of models to use is great. It removes the guesswork from downloading a random model from huggingface (although having that capability would be great). Some improvements I’d like to see: - RAG - Allow tool calls - Option to allocate dedicated storage for the models. I think with these features and the new Gemma models, this app would replace 99% of what the day to day user does with online models.

For some reason it crashes every time I launch it from shortcuts. Otherwise great!
