Not worth your time

This AI changes its mind from one question to another. And, even when you provide the evidence that the answers are incomplete or outright wrong, it stubbornly refuses to correct itself.

Thanks for the review! Russet provides several models for chat, such as on-device options like the one behind the Apple Intelligence integrated into iOS, alongside robust cloud models via OpenRouter and OpenAI. Models small enough for offline use on an iPhone may sacrifice intelligence for convenience. You can access stronger cloud models by entering your API key(s) in Settings.

Hilfreich

Sehr hilfreicher Begleiter für verschiedene lokale Modelle. Etwas schade dass Gemma4 selbst für die kleinste E2B Variante 12GB voraussetzt, sonst aber viele spannende Modelle mit guter Einbindung in die Oberfläche. Praktisch, cute, zugänglich. Danke!

Super Offline Übersetzer

und natürlich viel mehr! Aber ich hatte jetzt nur kurz eine einfache spanische Übersetzung ausprobiert und die war einwandfrei.

Thank you 😊

Cute icon, awesome app

The icon is super cute!! But more importantly the app is actually so helpful and unique compared to other AI. It’s also completely free which I love ☺️

Glad you’re liking Russet 😊

Nice

It’s impressive to see how far this app has already come (as of version 1.2.5) especially for free so far. If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot. A good free LLM that runs on your phone is nice to have

Thank you 😊

The system's safety guardrails were triggered by content in your prompt or Russet's response.

Better to be safe than sorry- I asked it the time “The system's safety guardrails were triggered by content in your prompt or Russet's response. This conversation cannot continue.

Please start a new conversation with different content.” I said hello “The system's safety guardrails were triggered by content in your prompt or Russet's response. This conversation cannot continue.” This app is poor. Worse than poor, do yourself a favour and don’t waste your time. Its better to be safe than sorry.

Hi there! At the time of your review, Russet only offered the Apple Foundation Model. Since then, several other on-device downloadable models have become available for free, with less restrictive safety guardrails. Additionally, the improved guardrails in the Apple Foundation Model in macOS 26.4+ further reduce the likelihood of blocking benign content. I highly recommend checking Russet out again and exploring some of the new models when you have a chance.
