Garbage

Absolute garbage, ui doesn’t make sense, it even has a placeholder language setting, and it asks $99 for lifetime lol

Allows loading arbitrary models from Huggingface

Would be even better if we could load models from all of huggingface, not just-mlx-community.

Good, but not great

I’ve been using the app for the last several months. The overall design and interface is a little clunky until you get used to it. When you’re downloading a new local model, you have to stay active on that screen, or it will stop downloading if you go to another screen. What would make this app even better is a little more polishing with the UI and conversation syncing via iCloud.

Response from developer

Please send me an email at support@localchat.co, because both of the things you're claiming are not accurate. Downloads work no matter what screen you're on in the app, and conversations sync via iCloud. I've spent a lot of time polishing the UI and would like to understand what you think doesn't work well.

I love your app. It’s finally an ai that is private and not used to train models.
