I don’t write reviews on apps

If you want to acess your home mostly offline llm stack, This app is the real deal, hook up to your home Stack of llms on your pc via WiFi or tailscale and message, transcribe or even have a voice conversation using lower web usage local voice to text software. It has good model organization, good server organization, conversation mgt and even some native setting like token size you can adjust on the client/Moble side. Interface is pretty seamless so far.

Checks all the boxes

I wanted a single app to run local LLMs and connect to cloud providers. This app does both really well for free. Only feedback is that the side bar is a bit cluttered, perhaps add a traditional chat history sidebar like other apps? But that’s not a big deal and the chats are organized very well.
