## Review summary

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)
