## What is Ego Chat?

Ego Chat is an AI chat app that runs directly on your iPhone without sending your conversations to a cloud server by default.
LOCAL-FIRST BY DEFAULT
Download a GGUF model, chat offline, and keep history on your device. Built for privacy and trips without connectivity.
PICK THE RIGHT MODEL
Browse a catalogue (Hugging Face), see size, quantization, and a compatibility estimate based on your iPhone’s RAM. Gemma, Llama, Qwen, and more.
MULTIMODAL
Attach photos, files, or documents when your model supports it (vision).
MEMORY & SEARCH (OPTIONAL)
Save useful facts to personalize answers. Turn on web search (SearXNG, Tavily or Brave) with your own API key.
REMOTE SERVER (OPTIONAL)
Connect LM Studio, Ollama, or an OpenAI-compatible API on your PC over Wi‑Fi / Tailscale for larger models, still under your control.
Ego Chat : your AI, on your phone.
