## What is Cloaked?

Your next AI conversation - text, image, or document - stays on your device with your private AI assistant.

Cloaked is the private AI chatbot that runs entirely offline on your iPhone or iPad. Type a question, attach a photo, or bring in a PDF and let the AI read, describe, or answer questions about it. No cloud servers. No accounts. No login. No tracking. Powerful open-source language models process everything on device, so your prompts, images and files never leave your hardware. If you have been looking for a secure, anonymous AI chatbot alternative to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini that works without an internet connection, this is it.

Most AI assistants send every word you type and every file you share to a remote server. Cloaked takes a fundamentally different approach. The AI runs directly on your device using Apple's MLX framework, purpose-built for Apple Silicon. There is nothing to breach, nothing to leak, and nothing to sell. Your data stays yours.

BRING YOUR DOCUMENTS - THEY NEVER LEAVE THE DEVICE
Attach PDFs to any conversation and ask questions about them. Cloaked reads shorter documents in full and searches longer ones on device, using only the passages that matter so even large files fit. Everything is indexed and answered locally - contracts, medical letters, research papers, the kind of file you would never paste into a cloud chatbot.

PRIVATE AI WITH BUILT-IN WEB SEARCH
Ask questions that need real-time information and Cloaked will search the web using DuckDuckGo. Only the search query leaves your device. Results come back, the AI processes them locally, and your conversation remains private. Toggle web search per message with the globe icon, or let Smart Auto-Search decide when a search would help. No other on-device AI chat app gives you web search without sending your data to the cloud.

SEE WHAT YOU SEE - PRIVATE IMAGE VISION
Attach a photo and Cloaked's vision-capable models can describe scenes, read text in images, identify objects, or answer questions about what they show. Perfect for translating menus, understanding diagrams, or just asking "what is this?" about anything you photograph. No image ever leaves your phone. Available with Qwen 3.5 and other vision-enabled models.

WATCH THE AI THINK
Thinking Mode lets you see the AI reason through complex problems step by step before delivering a final answer. Follow the chain of thought as it works through logic, math, code, and writing. Available with Qwen 3, Qwen 3.5, and DeepSeek models. A private reasoning AI that never phones home.

CHOOSE FROM THE TOP OPEN SOURCE MODELS
Pick the right model for coding, writing, or everyday chat. Cloaked supports Llama, Qwen, Phi, DeepSeek, and Mistral in multiple sizes. Smaller models run fast on any supported iPhone. Larger models unlock deeper reasoning on Pro and iPad hardware. Every model is free, open source, and downloads directly to your device.

INTELLIGENT MEMORY
Cloaked remembers what matters across conversations. Preferences, facts, and context persist between chats so you never repeat yourself. Memory is stored locally and can be viewed, edited, or deleted at any time.

AI AGENT FOR COMPLEX QUESTIONS
The built-in agent chains multiple web searches and memory lookups to answer layered questions. It plans, searches, synthesizes, and answers autonomously - a private AI researcher that works entirely offline.

BUILT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW
Organize conversations into projects with custom system prompts for coding, writing, or any task. Set temperature, context length, and model defaults per project. Export conversations whenever you need them. Choose light, dark, or system themes with custom accent colors.

PRIVACY IS THE ARCHITECTURE
No network connections apart from model downloads and optional DuckDuckGo searches. No telemetry. No accounts. All data lives in a secure sandbox on your device. Delete everything with a single tap. This is not a privacy policy. It is the way the app is built. No exceptions.

### 1/5 — Everything it says is wrong

*2026-07-20*

I got the best model and everything it tells you is completely wrong or made up. Not useful for anything.

### 5/5 — Very very smooth app

*2026-07-17*

This app makes running AI locally more efficient. It has a different vibe to it, so smooth!

### 5/5 — great little research assistant

*2026-06-10*

I am using it with Qwen 3 2b and its working great for quick little research projects.

**Developer response:** This is exactly what Cloaked is for! Qwen 3 2B + on-device = fast research that stays private. Thanks for the 5 stars, more features landing soon!
