### 5/5 — Tools, MLX, and Voice Chat!

*2026-05-29*

This is one of very few free apps offering so many great features for fully local LLMs. Nice clean interface, supports MLX, tons of tools. Soprano TTS and Qwen ASR!

### 4/5 — Not Bad

*2026-05-13*

You guys are off to a good start and you probably have the best client app on iOS. That being said, I have one major gripe people do a lot of research and document creation with AI that should’ve been one of the core aspects of the app.. But that turned out to be the Achilles heel of the app.

You checked every other box except for that one.. And it would be nice if you also added MCP Tools. Can we make this app more like a mobile agent?

### 5/5 — The best app I’ve found

*2026-03-10*

I run a local LLM on my Mac Studio. This is by FAR the best app I’ve found to connect remotely. It just works! And supports so many functions.

Wish there was a better way to contact the dev. The app has some performance issues such as lag and it would be nice to change the default icon.

Also it would be nice to see some feedback from the server. Such as if it’s actual loading or stuck.
