Locally AI
Local AI assistant that runs language and vision models on Apple devices. Works offline after model download, with on-device voice and no account required.
Locally AI is a native app for running language and vision models on recent iPhones, iPads, and Macs. It's for people who want a private AI assistant on their own device, with text, image processing, and voice conversations available without cloud processing. Once a model is downloaded, it works offline and doesn't require an account.
Model choices include Llama, Gemma, Qwen, and DeepSeek R1, alongside SmolLM, Granite, Cogito, and Liquid AI's LFM. That gives users access to models suited to conversation, multilingual tasks, reasoning, and coding within the same app. iPad and Mac users can run larger models for more demanding tasks. The app uses Apple's MLX framework and is optimized for Apple Silicon's unified memory architecture. It also integrates with on-device Apple Foundation Models.
Voice mode runs entirely on the device, so spoken conversations don't depend on a cloud service. Siri provides another way to talk to local models, while Apple Shortcuts can trigger AI actions as part of automated workflows. Control Center, the Lock Screen, and the Action Button provide quick access to the assistant.
A customizable system prompt lets you adjust the model's behavior and responses for different uses. All AI processing stays on your device, and the app states that it doesn't collect your data. Locally AI is available through the App Store for iPhone and iPad and the Mac App Store for Mac.
