Your private AI chatbot

Features & Capabilities

Chat privately with your own AI that runs on your Mac at home, synced by CloudKit. No cloud processing, no data collection—just fast, secure answers anywhere.

Put a full-featured AI assistant in your pocket—without sending a single word to any outside cloud.

LLM Pigeon works together with LLM Pigeon Server on your Mac.

• Type a message on your iPhone. • The text is stored inside your private iCloud files. • Your Mac picks it up, runs the large-language model locally, writes the reply, and CloudKit delivers the answer back to the phone.

Why you’ll love it • 100 % privacy: messages never leave your own iCloud container; no analytics, no ads, no accounts. You can optionally add a search-engine API. • Real LLMs: choose from a set of built-in models or point the server at LM Studio or Ollama to swap in any model you prefer.

How it works 1. Install LLM Pigeon Server (free) on a Mac that’s signed in with the same iCloud account. 2. Download the models you want and, if you’d like web search, enter a Serper API key. 3. Start a new chat in the iOS app. 4. Receive answers in seconds, even on hotel Wi-Fi.

Zero data collection • No personal information • No usage analytics • No crash logs—everything stays on your devices • If you enable web search, only the queries your LLM generates are sent to Serper.

Requirements • iPhone running iOS 17 or later • Mac running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later with LLM Pigeon Server installed • iCloud Drive enabled on both devices

User Reviews

As other reviewers have said this does feel like it’s still in beta. I talked to the guy who made it via Reddit. He said he is a one man team working on both apps during his off time. However as other reviewers have noted, this thing has amazing potential. Just so you know, I’m running this on an M3 MacBook Air with a gigabytes of unified memory. I use the Qwen3-.6b model and it works great for getting the weather and news reports.

Nifty (free) tool and works! But really feels like a beta. Used it for about 5 minutes but I’ll try it out more. -I don’t want to download models in yet another place. I have things configured really well in LM Studio -You have to manually type a model name to interact with LM studio models, which is a shame because I’m certain LM Studio supports GET requests for model names. -You can only have one model from LM Studio configured at a time. Again, a GET request to LM Studio would fox this. -I would love to see a chat stream, but I understand if that’s a limitation of architecture requiring minimal setup. Fair trade off if so. -I would like the option to see thoughts from thinking models -If a model isn’t loaded in LM Studio, it gets stuck in a loop if a chat is requested. I think there is a setting to load models on demand in LM Studio, but some feedback from Pigeon would be helpful for troubleshooting.

I love the way this app works with LM Studio on a Mac to enable us to access our local LLMs via iCloud. Companion server for MacOS needed so be sure to download that. Open source and free! What more could we want?
