Layla

Layla is an AI assistant for people who want private chat, a personal companion or character roleplay on their phone. It runs local models on Android and iOS, so you can keep using it offline after downloading a model.

• Chat and agents: Use it for conversation, planning and everyday tasks, with on-device agents that can use tools and follow multi-step instructions.
• Characters and memory: Create characters and story scenarios, join the conversation yourself or let several AI characters interact; memory helps retain context across the scene.
• Local model choice: Bring your own GGUF model and choose the model behind your assistant, rather than relying solely on a hosted service.
• Offline image generation: Create standalone images or images for characters and stories on your device when a compatible local image model and its required files are installed.

Local generation doesn't require an account. Chats, characters and local models stay in the app's storage on your device unless you explicitly export or share them. Model downloads need an internet connection, and local performance depends on the model and your phone's hardware, with enough free storage needed to hold the model.

Optional Layla Cloud requires a login and internet access. It sends requests to the selected hosted provider and runs the model remotely instead of using your phone's hardware.
