About
A native LLM client for on-device inference, LLM APIs, and self-hosted servers, built around a minimal, responsive interface.
Download a supported model and chat offline without an API key or account. Or connect OpenRouter, direct providers, and compatible endpoints using your own credentials.
On-Device Models
• Download models from the built-in catalog, including Gemma 4, Qwen 3.5, Bonsai, and LFM 2.5
• Choose model sizes and quantization options to suit your device
• Configure context window, reply length, and image detail where supported
• Use streaming, thinking traces, image attachments, and web tools with compatible models
• Reduce reprocessing of earlier messages with on-disk prompt caching
Model capabilities and performance depend on the selected model and available device memory.
