Minis — Local-First On-Device AI Agent

Minis is a local-first, on-device AI agent that goes beyond chat. All your data stays on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded to a server by default. Running locally means lower latency and stronger privacy, while the agent still takes real action: browsing the web, accessing your health data, managing your schedule, controlling your smart home, and automating complex tasks.

Local-First AI Agent Unlike cloud-only chatbots, Minis runs directly on your device and keeps your data there. The agent executes multi-step tasks autonomously, using tools and native iOS frameworks to get things done — not just answer questions, and not just relay everything to the cloud.

Multi-Model, Your Choice Bring your own API key. Choose from leading AI providers: • Anthropic Claude • OpenAI GPT • Google Gemini • DeepSeek • Kimi (Moonshot AI) • OpenRouter • Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint

Deep iOS Integration The agent accesses Apple frameworks natively: • HealthKit — steps, heart rate, sleep, workouts, SpO₂ • Calendar & Reminders — create events, check availability, manage tasks • HomeKit — control lights, switches, scenes, and smart accessories • Photos — search, organize, and export from your library • Location & Maps — current location, directions, nearby POIs • Vision — OCR text recognition, object detection, barcode scanning • Speech — real-time transcription and text-to-speech • Weather — current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts

Built-in Web Browser Navigate pages, take screenshots, extract content, fill forms, and interact with websites — all driven by the AI agent in the background.

Skills System Import or create custom AI skills to extend the agent's capabilities. Share skills with others or build your own for specialized workflows.

Persistent Memory The agent remembers your preferences, project context, and recurring patterns across sessions — building a personalized assistant that improves over time, all stored locally on your device.

Siri Shortcuts Automate AI tasks with Siri and the Shortcuts app. Send prompts with file attachments, wait for results, and chain into complex workflows — all hands-free.

Privacy by Design Your API keys and data stay on-device. Fine-grained permission controls let you decide exactly which personal data the agent can access. No account required. No data collected.

Honestly, this app is incredible, A sleek and clean user-friendly interface. Really smooth performance. So useful features and tools. All functions make customization incredibly seamless. (and It would be great to see github copilot on the provider list). Please consider adding Arabic language support in the upcoming updates and it will be 10/10 (Keep up the great work)

I've been using Open Minis for a while now, and it's genuinely one of the most impressive pieces of software I've ever run on iOS. It's not just another AI chat wrapper — it's a full local-first Linux environment that the AI can actually live and work inside. The most incredible part is how far I could push it. I managed to port the official OpenAI Codex CLI (the native Rust binary) into the iSH environment. It wasn't trivial: newer Codex builds panic on iSH's architecture, and the TLS stack fights with the system, so I had to pin an older build (0.139.0) and write a small local TLS bridge to forward requests to DeepSeek's API. Once that was running, the whole thing became a real agent — it writes files, executes commands, searches the web with native tool calls, debugs its own errors, and keeps full context across turns. All of that, on a phone. What makes it possible is how open and well-designed Minis is underneath: the minis:// protocol, the shared folders, the shell bridge, the tooling — nothing is locked down. You're given a real system, and you're trusted to do real things with it. Thank you so much for building this and for open-sourcing it under GPLv3. This is what "AI on mobile" should look like — not a toy, but a computer in your pocket that can actually think and act.
