Your AI. Your hardware. Your pocket. *Now with Apple Intelligence and Image support!* Localzie connects your iPhone to the AI models and coding agents already running on your own computer - whether they are hosted on your machine or on a provider such as OpenRouter. Localzie automatically discovers what's running on your home. No IP addresses, no ports, no config files - it finds your servers, harnesses, and models on its own. Pair once, and you're in. Works with the OpenAI-compatible runtimes you already use - Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, vLLM, and more - plus agent harnesses like OpenCode and Hermes. Bare models and full agents are both first-class citizens. Stay in the loop, even when you're not looking Walk away mid-generation - Localzie keeps going and notifies you when your prompt finishes. Answer questions your agent asks you directly from the app, pick up sessions your harness started in the terminal, and watch active conversations live in read-only observe mode. When you're ready to jump in, just start typing - you take over seamlessly. Your history, everywhere Chat history lives on your phone even when you're offline and syncs with your machine when you're connected. Start a session on your computer, continue it on your phone - and back again.
