Not production ready

How can you release a product without any help documentation? One thing for sure is that you can’t use any existing models that you already downloaded on your Mac. Wasted my time and now I am going to delete it.

Works great!

It works great and is easy to use! Runs fast on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. The only limitation i’ve found is it only lets me download and keep 2 models, but that’s fine for me. Divest yourself of the AI monopoly, we don’t need all those energy hungry Data Centers.

Thank you developer!
