Wenn es funktionieren würde…
Response from developer
Falls es zu einem Absturz kommt, melde dies bitte unter „Einstellungen“ -> „Support“ – ich werde mich dann schnellstmöglich darum kümmern. Da die App zudem Open Source ist, kannst du den Fehler bei Bedarf auch selbst beheben. Mein Ziel ist es, den Großteil der App kostenlos anzubieten. Es wäre sehr hilfreich, wenn du ein Ticket mit weiteren Details zum Absturz erstellen würdest, damit ich diesen nachvollziehen kann. Vielen Dank!
Solid app!
Highly recommend enabling “Low battery mode” under “Appearance”
in the settings, as at least on my iPhone 15 Pro Max using it with that off and the “glass effects” enabled drains the battery like I’m running a full 3D game just chatting with a model on my local server! Swapping those toggles made a night and day difference.
I don’t mind being limited to manually loading a single local model on the free version, but please please please let us do the same single manual load with an mlx model!

Thank you, I am glad you liked it. I'll add MLX model too, you can import MLX from Files app too. If you have more suggestion please user Support and Feature Request under Settings.
Stopped working after updates
I've already tried reinstalling the app, clearing its data, restarting my phone, and removing my LM Studio models. I have plenty of free storage (~25 GB), and the freshly installed app only shows 283 KB of Documents & Data.
I'm currently on LM Mini 1.9.10. I didn't manually update it, so I suspect an automatic update may have introduced an incompatibility with older iPhones/iOS 16. Please look into this, because the app previously worked on this exact device.

Edit: Did it work for you with v.19.12? I am guessing here from your message (appreciate the details), It might be from new changes released in v1.9.10 for on-device Inference, I have applied and uploaded a fix for it in v1.9.12 which is already queued up for a review by Apple and should be available to download soon. Let me know how it goes.
Quickly jammed with garbage
Unfortunately in the age of llm coded apps it’s all too easy to ruin the experience chasing money. Someone should make an app that can be bought once that just chats against lm studio/completions api. They’d have at least one purchase right here!
Response from developer
Whole LM Studio Completion AI is free feature. You don't even need a single purchase for it. Persona is just an easier name for System Prompt and its free feature too. If you are facing an issue with something there is a very active Human Support under Settings. I'd be really happy to help you have the experience you want from the app.
The Developer seals the deal
The developer actually cares.
He responds to feature requests, bug reports, and doesn't spent months between updates. You can tell this is a passion project by the regular and meaningful updates. Sure there's some bugs here or there, sure some things could be added, but as of this writing (July 22 2026), you won't find a better value, better compatibility, better communication or overall better experience on a native iOS app. Trust me I've looked.
I use mostly local LLMs via ollama initially and LMStudio after, and now use open router as well. This app handles them all better than any other.
Even on just the free version, this app as of this writing is 10x better than Locally (LM Studio's official app).
The fact that it has speech, TTS, and photo llm handling for both on-model and via remote-local in addition to cloud providers is incredible.
